Howdy, team,
I am suddenly jobless. I will work again in the computer software development business, but you can help me get there faster.
If you are aware of contract opportunities in the western hemisphere, please let me know.

There are plenty of contract opportunities at Adelita's where any chica (for about 60 dollars) will get your software up (hardware??) and working. Usually in less than 30 minutes!

Lot of adds in Thailand for web site developers but they pay Thai scale. However I know there are fring benefits.

694me - I honestly wouldn't waste my time developing sites for Thai wages. If you are lucky you can make 30-40,000 baht and if you are not into living like a Thai, or want to monger daily, this isn't going to be anywhere near enough.
What fringe benefits will you have??? Fucking Thai chicks? If you have money to draw off of for a while, maybe it's worth a try. If you are working to support yourself while living in Thailand, you will need a year or two to really get into the swing and gain the contacts.
I actually need a web site designer but I also would only pay Thai wages. There is a market for English speaking guys who are good but then there is the work permit issue to think of and for the amount a Thai could be paid without the hassles, it makes it very difficult for developers......

Funny clip, Xen. I think that guy needs to cut back on the coke in the boardroom...

Aw schucks MrBill. Now you went and encouraged me and I have to post this one of Ballmer. But I guess when you are the president of a 282 billion dollar company you can pretty much do anything you want. I'd love to see GW Bush come out before a speech and dance around like that.

Mr. Balmer had evidently been snacking a bit before going on stage.

Xenono, I beat you to it. I laughed so much at that clip that I went out on the net and found that other one. My sides still hurt...

The last line of his bio at Microsoft.com says he jogs daily. Judging by how winded he was after about 30 seconds of dancing around, I can only assume that is just ONE more thing Microsoft isn't being honest about.

Damn. I can't resist. Hey Steve, I have THREE words for you...
"Undershirts man, undershirts!"
Putanero and MrBill. Here is an artist's conception along the lines of what you both were saying.
