I'm pretty much out of the VFP contract business now (aside from small/side/remote jobs).

I'm doing ASP.NET development fulltime for an engineering company in Topeka and spending my 'free' time doing ASP.NET development for my company (the Kuhn Group). We're (the Kuhn Group) about to hire a couple of ASP developers for a large contract we should be signing very shortly.

Good luck in Baton Rouge.

Did I see you were going to commute? I commuted from KC to San Diego weekly for about 3 months in 2006 - that got to be a big enough pain that I just stayed in San Diego most weekends for the remainder of the project.
