Moving On
Well, the news is fairly public now. My family and I are moving from Illinois back to Ohio this summer. The gravitational pull of the grandparents on Curtis (my two year-old) alone was almost too much to resist. With the birth of Eli in December, it has become irresistable, since we want the boys to grow up knowing their grandparents.
I am now in the process of job hunting. I have been at my current job for about 5 years, so I am a little rusty when it comes to the hunt. The IT market in Ohio looks pretty good. I have an interview at a private university later this month.
I am currently targetting general IT jobs; network administration, web mastering, etc. Of course, I’d love to find a job working with Python, but those jobs are few and far between. If you are located in Ohio and are looking for a Python developer, by all means, let me know.
It would be cool to be up north and get involved with ClePy (Cleveland Python Users Group). They seem pretty active and it sounds like a good time.
Anyhow, wish me luck!

Best of luck to you Christian! Thanks for all of your help and patience with GC’s network, BIND issues, Python issues, and most impressive of all: putting up with Dan Coulter.
God bless!

Good luck mate but to be fair I really feel like you should not have to hunt for too long considering the experienced team player you are (at least from what I saw on CherryPy). People go get him before anyone else!

LOL ….ahhhh harsh! I do need to see where we’re at with the web site. I’m beginning to think the first year of domain ownership is down the drain!

Yay! One more Pythonista in Ohio!
I’ve been trying to get some folks in Dayton to turn away from the broad J2EE path that leadeth to destruction for their web apps… if any of them take me up on it, I’ll need somebody to refer them to. Send me an email if Dayton is an option.

I wish you well! It was great working with you for those years. GC definately will have a big hole to fill.
