Exactly what I said in the first email: have laptop, will bill for travel time. (Especially if I'm doing plain code development.) I could not do the job I'm doing now under those circumstances, but I was coding Perl that summer to interact between a couple of daemons on NetBSD. I can run those daemons and the script just fine on my laptop on the train. The difference here is that it would take about as long for me to get to work (in Warminster) by train as it took me to get to work (in Manhattan) by train, and I *can't* really do my current job disconnected like that. So I drive, and it's only about an hour each way, but it's *completely* wasted time, rather than being useful (if not in-office) time. > NB2: I guess 4H/d is optimistic. Rather. It was more like five when I was doing it, including the subway from Grand Central to the 14th St/8th Ave station. (That's where Wasabi is, I didn't really pay attention to the address on the mail I forwarded.) I was only going up two days a week. So it wasn't that bad. I'd expect that someone who'd actually want this job would have to live somewhere in Jersey or be willing to move that direction. But maybe some member of PLUG has an unemployed friend in that area and they'll pass this along. In any case, interested parties should still just email me and I'll pass it up the chain. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
