From tim at fungible.com Sat Dec 4 00:34:29 2004 From: tim at fungible.com (Tim Freeman) Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2004 17:34:29 -0700 Subject: [Exi-bay-chat] Consulting work as a life-extending activity Message-ID: <200412040140.iB41eSGj017904@lobus.fungible.com> Hmm, I presume I would have heard if Mark had to give up any resellable internal organs after making his job opening posting back in July, so I think I'll do something similar. I'm looking for consulting work as a programmer somewhere around Sunnyvale. Lately I've been working on corporate Web servers written in Java and Python, but I'm also good at Perl, C, C++, and a bunch of less popular academic languages. My most interesting and useful consulting work has been when someone says "this mission-critical system is unreliable. Fix it", but I've also enjoyed more proactive scenarios where I get involved soon enough to make something that is reliable from the beginning. For details, check out the resume at the URL below. Working with another cryonicist or extropian would be fun. There aren't many of them. -- Tim Freeman http://www.fungible.com tim at fungible.com Programmer/consultant in the Sunnyvale, CA area. I'm presently available.

I have not yet selected an apartment, but I'm currently looking in the Hayward area. Advice on where to move is welcome; I am looking for an apartment as such, rather than a room in someone's basement. Low cost of living is a concern. My current plot is to fly in January 1-8 (Saturday to Saturday) to look at apartments and attend Cryofeast. I have not yet bought the ticket, but plan to do so very soon. If anyone has an offer of crash space for these days, or for a significant segment of these days, it would be much appreciated. -- Eliezer S.

You're welcome to crash at my place in Redwood City for the week that you will be here. I'm also planning to attend CryoFeast. Let me know. In any case, welcome (soon) to California!
