I'm not looking to start something new until December (when I've come back from seeing Antarctica OH YEAH!), but if you have an awesome opportunity I should hear about, please let me know. :) My resume can be found at: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9824839/jacinta_richardson.pdf I'm considering jobs across the world in Perl, other languages, technical writing and training. I saw an OO Perl job listed in Greythorn today. I'm not likely to go through recruiters, so if that's your business, feel free to let me know. All the best, Jacinta
