New Gig starts November 3rd
I gave my notice on Monday and will be starting a new gig on November 3rd. My reasons are simple: I can bill for the commute (45 minutes each way), I can work from home 1-2 days per week, mentoring/teaching opportunities and the biggest - they want me to help them build a Resume Entry application. Sweet - I'm hoping to use Struts Resume as a baseline. If they agree to use Struts Resume, we'll have half the project done on my first day! The hard parts will be getting it to run on WebSphere and DB2 - their platforms (that I've never worked with). They're hiring me as a mentor on Java and Eclipse and also expect me to cut a fair amount of code. It'll be cool to have mentor as part of my job description. It's also a government agency, which means 40 hour weeks and no weekends. If anyone has gotten WebSphere running on OS X, hooka brutha up!
I gave my current gig a 4 week notice because I want to help them roll out the first phase of websites, and verify that architecture I helped them build actually works. They're looking to replace me with someone that has similar skills. They're located in Lafayette, Colorado - and it really is a fun place to work. Here's the most important things to know for this position: Struts, Ant, JSP and Tomcat. Let me know if you're interested.
