Knowledge of AppFuse and an appreciation of fine wine

It's not everyday you see a job that lists "Knowledge of AppFuse and an appreciation of fine wine" as optional skills. I asked Julie if she wanted to move to Napa Valley, but no dice. Too bad - sounds like a job I'd really enjoy. ;-) Thanks to Solomon for the tip.

Unfortunately, I'm still working on AppFuse 1.9.2 and I've given up on estimating when I'll be done. I'm having a hard time finding time to work on it between client meeting and being a good dad. The biggest frustrations so far are the good ol' component based frameworks: JSF and Tapestry. JSF sucks because of JSP and Tapestry is giving me fits because I can't seem to stuff a <span> inside a @FieldLabel. I'd like to think that component-based frameworks are more flexible than their action-based counterparts, but I'm finding quite the opposite so far.
