I, Tom Lord, the author of arch
, have been unemployed for a very
long time now, and my sole proprietorship revenues, while non-0, have
left me far below the poverty line.
"Boo-hoo", I know. Things are tough all over.
In the absence of any alternative, I funded much of the work to
develop arch
by cashing in all my retirement savings, selling the
little bit of stock I owned, selling many possessions (I really miss
my guitars and CDs), and racking up some enormous credit card debts
(some soon to be written off as bad debt!). Why did I do those
seemingly crazy things? Partly out of necessity -- but partly also
because I BELIEVE IN arch
THAT MUCH AND YOU SHOULD TOO.
So here's the deal:
1) I'm grateful to receive "gifts" (which I treat as business
income) sent to my PayPal account lord@emf.net
.
2) I'm very interested in any jobs that might be available in the S.F. Bay Area (especially Alameda, S.F., or work-at-home) for a really excellent C/Scheme/sh/awk/unix programmer. No, I've never hacked linux device drivers, SQL, PHP, TCP/IP stacks, Java Beans, J2EE, or Visual Studio. Yes I do prefer opportunities to work on free software.
3) "Practical Research" is what I do best. I have a lot of projects
in the fire, so to speak -- arch
is just one. If you have any good
ideas about how to fund them, send me email.
4) arch
can (with a little more development) save the industry
millions in licensing fees for proprietary revision control systems.
IBM, Red Hat, HP/C, United Linux members, Apple, potential business
partners with capital: I'm talking to you! Send me email.
5) In general: I NEED MONEY (desperately) -- so if you can help, please get in touch.
