[TriLUG] Will Code 4 Food (and the occasional paycheck)

[Martin Streicher]

After many years managing large projects and four recent years  
editing Linux Magazine, I want to re-enlist in the Geek Corps,  
programming full-time in Perl (first choice) or PHP. Consider this  
missive the proverbial tossing of my hat into the ring.

Rather than bore readers with bytes and bytes of resume, I'll simply  
say that I have an advanced degree in computer science from Purdue,  
have worked lots with Class::DBI, Parse::RecDescent, the Mail::*  
modules, and more in the past two years, although I've used Perl  
since 2.0. I've done OO Perl, lots of data mangling, but not as much  
OO with PHP. I've worked with Unix-like systems since 1982, including  
system programming, sys admin, and even handling reel-to-reel tape  
drives. (The latter skill might make me $0.35 more valuable to some  
employer.) I am tinkering with Mason at the moment.

The full story -- just in case you need a laugh this late in the  
afternoon -- is at

I live in North Raleigh. I am open to any and all ideas -- contracts,  
travel to exotic destinations, hacking old code, you name it.

Thanks for your consideration.

Martin
