Desperately Seeking Development.... Intermediate developer with administrative experience seeks compassionate development house with a generous wild side. I'm independent and interdependent, enjoy long walks and technical manuals, can produce reasonable facsimiles of creativity and occasionally I do something really cool. Coke not Pepsi. Standard on sports cars and real trucks, auto on everything else. Cats AND Dogs. Horseback riding. L.A. Story, Arnold movies, and Monty Python. (That's not arguing, it's merely simple contradiction!) Today's employment report calls for a 65% chance of accepting contract work, closer to 100% for permanent. Will relocate for the right relationship. Guy J.
