The place with the ad you mean? I don't remember, but here's one in NY that is not completely different: http://www.linkedin.com/jobs?viewJob=&jobId=1007553 I do think I am generaly kick-ass, just don't call me an expert at anything. My specialty is the near-vertical leanning curve that is needed on an occcasional basis. I get stuff like this almost every month: Q. "Hey Dave, is this possible?" -or- "Hey this infrastructure piece is down and the guy who usually manages it is out and there's no documentation, can you make it work?" In both cases: A. "No clue..I mean in theory it is somehow possible" <run off> <back in 45 minutes> "yeah we can do it, here's a script/tool/some other clever capability". The answer of course sometimes comes from this list, or Exchange list, or Michael B. Smith. Ok I'm not kick ass at all, but I know how to contact a LOT of guys who are...

Being an informalish kind of guy, I was tempted to apply just based on that kind of verbiage. Still like %dayjob% enough to not apply though… Dave From: Steven M.

Up to that point PGP support was fine – not spectacular, but good enough and quite consistent. Full rollout (260 systems) started last week, and I’ve had very little success with the responses from tech support requests this month.
