Canada's West Coast. A kinder climate, particularly well-suited to former denizens of the north of England. Drier and more affordable than Vancouver, albeit overly dependent on government for employment. A new line of work, with Unix, and Windows and little or no mainframe. Then came the opportunity to become involved in intranet development.
Trouble is, the government is somewhat less than the ideal remunerator.
Which leads directly to the current situation. Initially for the experience, and later as an income supplement, I started to apply the new-found skills outside of the workplace. And that's pretty well where things stand today. I guess I should add a little something about my web skills, as that's the purpose of this page. My toolset is small.
