It also helps that you consistently make incisive observations and
contributions to conversations, even if they are a little tart
sometimes. :)
But on this general note, is there any current organization or location
where small problems are being parcelled out? I'd love to help, but my
time is as limited as everyone's.... If I could get small bites of work
to do, maybe I could contribute something useful.
Anyone requesting one black-box module or function at a time? Or am I
pipe dreaming?
