But even if I wind up pulling down only enough to survive and pay bills until I go back to full time work, this isn&#8217;t stopping our work or research on this project.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the good news, is it gave us a fairly swift kick in the pants. (I just wish it&#8217;d come about 2 months earlier)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve already discussed the project with about 4 people, 2 seem interested in possibly putting in money. I have about 3 more people asking. everyone for the most part has gotten excited when I&#8217;ve lifted the cover off the project.<\/p>\n<p><!--more Concerning the job hunt and my resume...-->Thanks also to those who&#8221;ve been toting the resume around for me again. I got a letter from a recruiter who wants me to move to Bethesda, MD to do .NET programming; so my resume is definitely out there again&#8230; And I still have no experience in .NET (and it&#8217;s not even on my resume)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m actually entirely serious about giving anyone who gets me into a job a cash reward as listed.<img src=\"http:\/\/www.apolo.net\/images\/post050916.c.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s gonna be a long weekend.
