May have solved my employment problem

[Tab]

 
Plan A

Shaved head (did this at home)

Buy a saffron robe

Possibly buy a tambourine, but better yet, an iPhone that acts as a tambourine when you shake it

Find an airport of decent size

Set up basket of flowers in collection box

Put up sign, "Will debug complex multithreaded applications, or design world-class consumer software for food"

Plan B

Film it for YouTube

Write a book about it, or get a reality show.

11. Kernighan & Richie?

Um, that'll be life-changing. I'd be better off conducting a seminar to go with it.

2. (imagins the opening airport scene from Airplane!)

:rofl:

6. Hey, modify your sign a little

to include "design complex storage systems, file systems, and kernel device drivers" and I'll join you.

12. Maybe a group of us

Embedded software system design, AJAX, J2EE, PHP, kernal and operating system internals, TCP/IP/UDP VOIP, SOAP, maybe 30 of us - bus us to an office, give us Kashi and diet coke and we're ready to roll.

15. I just saw a job posting around here for someone

with AJAX, PHP, TCP, VOIP... I'll see if I can dig it up again and email you.

7. that just might work...

8. Recommend

you write a book about how to get money when you can't get a job. It would be a best seller. Do it in time for the Christmas market.

[ColbertWatcher]

9. Wouldn't it just be easier to just Tweet that you're doing all that ...

... without actually having to do any of it?

Oh, I hear Alaska is looking for an Attorney General or something.

[zbdent]

10. If you're doing it at Cleveland or Akron,

do you need a video guy?

[SpiralHawk]

13. By all means, write the book

that always leads to the big bucks.

14. Great idea! Let us know how it works out. nt
