Oh, btw, moved to Portland, OR.
 

Did I mention that? Wife and kids are set up in a house 10 minutes outside Washington, in North PDX. Beautiful, looks like an art deco Bilbo Baggins house with a Redwood (!) in the backyard. Pears, apples, blackberries, blueberries, all growing in the fully landscaped front and back yard. 10 minute walk to the elementary school and 5 minute walk to the grocery store. Access just as easily to the light rail (or the highway, if for some reason).

I have a built-in office in the basement with 60 meg pipe and long-distance VOIP lines--after 2 more months travelling to Austin, building HL7 interfaces, I'm looking for remote contract work. Or local Portland IT work.



We are not socially isolated in Portland. We have grown-up friends, friends with cool kids, and we are not total oddball nerds here.

(I mean, we are, but everyone is.)

Sounds cool Flint! How about some pics when you get a chance?

Welcome to PDX, Flint et al.

Glad to hear the move worked out!

"oh by the way"

Holy cow. That's huge!

How do the wife and kids like it?

Is " radly " a word?

Your acquaintance shall not elude me for much longer, citizen.

Oof. I'll really, really try. I think they're all in txts on my iPhone.

Sounds great. I'd love to see pics! Congrats on a successful move!

OUTSTANDING!

Yeah, dawg. That's right.

wow

what brought this on, if not a job?

is there some kind of nerdy gravitational pull in that town?

also, beware... I believe Tiki resides in or around that locale

You wanna get back together?

Yes, nerdy gravitational pull is exactly what brought this on.

I promise that I will not chicken-shit out, until you admit that you're a pussy! ... lol

Congrats, Flint. I suspect you and the rest of the Flintstones will love it there.

Visited there when we lived in Seattle. Nice place. Nice people.
