<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Hello,<br><br>
I'm an unemployed but still useful geek looking for work. I'm
posting this<br>
to this list because someone might be know of a job out there (duh!),
and<br>
I'd like to get a job working with Linux if at all possible. I've
got about<br>
7 years of experience all over the board including desktop support,
System<br>
and Network Administration, and Programming in a variety of
languages.<br>
Right now I'm grinding my way through TCP/IP and the associated protocols
by<br>
installing them on a Debian box. I also run RedHat 7.1 as a
desktop.<br><br>
Right now I'll take just about anything in IT that will pay the
bills. I<br>
expect to have to commute as far as Fort Collins and wouldn't mind going
as<br>
far as Greeley or Longmont for the right job.<br><br>
I'm adding my resume below. If you have an open position look it
over and<br>
give me a call. If you know of a job please pass it along to the
employer.<br>
If you don't want to be held accountable for the results just send me a
tip<br>
and I'll keep you out of it!<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
