Readers of these newsgroups may wish to know that I no longer work for
The SCO Group. It has been an interesting 15 years. Lately that's been
in the sense of the Chinese proverb, "May you live in interesting
times"...

As I depart, intense work continues on the SCO OpenServer 6 "Legend"
project. It's going remarkably well given the immense complexity of the
task. No, I can't give you any more details than the press releases on
www.sco.com.

If I'm in your address book, enter my armory.com address. I understand
that the sco.com address will forward for a few weeks, then it will
start bouncing. b...@sco.com -> b...@armory.com (or bela_sco or belal or filbo).

I intend to continue monitoring the SCO newsgroups for as long as it
makes sense to do so. That depends partly on what I do next -- if I
fill my brain up with Mac OS/X or Linux or something else, the SCO
knowledge will rot a lot faster than if I keep working on SCO OSes.

During what I expect to be a long search for The Perfect Job, I will be
available to do short-term contract projects. You may have an idea of
my areas of expertise from reading these newsgroups. My own idea goes
something like this:

- troubleshooting weird system problems; debugging
- OpenServer kernel
- device drivers
- performance
- security

I don't believe in flashy glitz. I don't even have a real homepage. If
you need my services, you know it. I'm not here to sell you something
you didn't want in the first place.

For consulting/contract matters, contact me at bela_sco at the ...@armory.com.

I'm also listed on the aplawrence.com consultant search.

=============================================================================

"The Perfect Job"??

Ideally, I see myself as a troubleshooting spider in the middle of a
software maintenance organization. I have a web of connections with all
the development and maintenance engineers, support, QA, test, doc, etc.
people. I read source code, I watch code deltas, I look at incoming
support requests and bug reports, I monitor customer discussions on
mailing lists and newsgroups. I make connections. People come to me
with weird problems and I mysteriously already know the root cause,
because as soon as I hear the problem description, three other seemingly
unrelated things I had previously observed suddenly click into place. I
don't manage projects or people, I don't write code to spec. Sometimes
I spontaneously write code to solve some problem I've observed.

At SCO, I had business cards printed with the title "Technical
Catalyst". The web form to order cards wanted to know my title; it had
no preconceptions...

In the real world, the closest matches are probably for positions named
something like "Escalations Engineer".

If you're looking for me, or know of someone who is, let me know.

It's been fun,

>Bela<

Note - as of 2006, Bela is with VMware
