I just got back from a promising interview for an 80% sysadmin, 20% hacker at France Telecom R&D in East Cambridge, by indirect courtesy of ehintz. It's basically a shop full of hackers from the MIT Media Lab building things on the basis of "What if....?" I could so work with these people. :)
In other news, if I don't have a firm enough "Yes" on one job or another for us to go ahead and arrange to rent the house in Litchfield, then we're going to have to take the Hudson condo for now. Small though it is, it does have the virtue that we can get it month-to-month for as long or as short a time as we need it, even if that ends up being just a few weeks. Hopefully I'll have something solid before the house rents to someone else.
