Well, it's getting close to that time again.  I'll be coming off contract
soon, and I'll be looking for work.  I'd *really* like to return to the
Bay Area, though I can self-relocate if necessary. (If it's a contract deal,
of course I'll be footing the bill).

Here's an ASCII copy of my resume.  Nroff/troff/psroff copies are available
for those who wish a hardcopy.
