Sorry I will miss the BABBLing -- I am not in Oakland but in northern New Jersey. Here is something that might be of interest to one or more east coast ObWingers, specifically those whose profession is software development: a software engineering job in Jersey, specifically the one I am leaving. Send me email if you might be interested in it -- anacreon at gmail -- I'm trying to help my employers find a replacement. Description is, coding and maintaining real-time news server in C on Linux.
