Heh, just gotta wonder whether I'm crazy or talentless..., oh wait, there's the ambitionless option too...
Reminds me of when the previous president of my company got up in front of everybody last year and said that from now on we'd have to quit hiring just anybody (which really didn't pump up our self-esteems much)... ironically he said this only three months before he was, uh, resigned on out the door. (as an aside, another famous quote from him, after having a couple of other engineers and me explain to him that if we started documenting and organizing our design efforts we wouldn't need a goal like "hire 12 new people a month for a year" (and then lay them off ;o): "if it works, don't fix it." Truly a man of vision striving for perfection.) Anyway, just wondering, is the job market on over there on the Bigger Island really any better than over here in these smaller ones? It seems like over here there's still a number of "specialty" or "niche" jobs available for people doing wierd stuffs (like Linux), while at the same time my friends "over there" are telling me there just isn't anything going on anymore. Is there any way for people to drum up work with/for linux? I always thought that the software industry would be ideal for Hawaii, our economy is already kinda screwy, it doesn't produce much in the way of pollution, etc. -Charles ps- if this has been hashed over before, my apologies. a brief shoot through the archives only turned up similar but different topics... > -----Original Message----- > From: W.
