I just got a call from the fellow I've been corresponding with, Kevin Kelly, about the job in Wellington. They are keen on me and I will have my first interview with the hiring manager, Rodney Whitmore, most likely Monday night local time (Tuesday afternoon in New Zealand; Monday is a holiday there, apparently). This is a very solid nibble.

I meant to post these ages ago. This is a little photo restoration work (the original and restored print are 8" x 10") I did for
drakeula's birthday last year:

Given that Lotus Domino and related products are typically deployed by larger organisations and development is typically done from "head office" locations, opportunities for employment in my profession tend to be concentrated in a small number of cities. In the English-speaking world this comes down to New York, Boston, Chicago, London, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Sydney, Melbourne, Aukland, and Wellington.

I just got a call from a recruiter who thought that "Vancouver, BC CA" on my résumé meant I was looking for work in Vancouver, Baja California, or California. She seemed genuinely stunned that I didn't want to even consider living in Los Angeles. Me living in L.A. is about as likely as a bonspiel on the Los Angeles River.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

You won't get to play this one often, but I just did.
Watch a couple of suburban yahoos seriously offend an older east Indian man (I missed the offending comment or action).
Listen as the old man seriously cusses out the yahoos with some "colourfully" translated insults.
Watch as one of the yahoos gets up and spits at the old man, precipitating a full-blown fist-fight.
At this point the driver pulls over and puts the yahoos off the bus. One of the yahoos decides to swing around and take a Parthian shot at the old man that nearly knocks him down.
