I strongly value people's honest opinions.  I have to admit it; when I
read some of your comment, I felt some pain in my stomach, but I was
once there experiencing all the bad things with a few recruiters...so I
could actually put myself in your shoes.

I am glad to hear that I can still be around.  I think I am too busy to
be a Linux expert right now.  I just got back into my recruiting job
last month, I just got married last month, I just lost my father two
months ago, I just left my consulting firm three months ago, and I just
got my first brand new VW...lol.  I am hoping that I can help some of
you in near future.  Now, here is the note; I will tell you when I have
no jobs, and I will tell you when I have jobs to fill...fair?

Wow!  Thank you so much for your help.  I am usually working on the
semiconductor industry, but my boss was asking me to get into more
programming clients (since two of our team members just left to go back
to their countries that I'll have to take over some of their clients.)
Wind River happened to be one of them.

Nomikai will be great.  I am looking forward to meeting you face to
face!

Have a great day!
