[kw-pm] another intro.

[Rebecca Anstett]

Working at EC was amazing. I loved it, despite the fact that I wasn't so 
keen on the technology. The first time I worked there was in 1999 and I was 
working on the weather site (http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/) - lots of perl. 
The second time was Sept-Feb of this year, and it was completely a 
ColdFusion gig (ugh). Lots of ColdFusion. (I was managing the migration of 
their Intranet)  Following this, I took a *real gem* - migrating a buttload 
of ASP to ColdFusion. This is something that just should not have happened! 
I think the main reason I've enjoyed my employment stints with EC so much is 
that I have a perhapsobscene fascination with weather!
