I don't do mobile or web stuff. I don't know squat about it. I don't even own a smartphone!! Can ya believe it? <g>

Not really looking for full-time work anyway. We are busy working on the next-gen version of our software. Short term contracts would be fine, but there's not many of those around that I'm qualified for (they all seem to be web stuff)!! I *do* have 2 weeks of some low-paying work starting on Monday though, which is better than nothing ... see my reply to Mike Beane.

>>I know this is pathetic, and I really hate to beg, but we're broke and down to our last few thousand bucks -- enough for this month's expenses and then that's it! Back in December, we were going to start a Crowd Funding campaign on Indiegogo or KickStarter for our company: http://genevasystemsgroup.com But Gary's research seemed to indicate that very few of those campaigns raised enough money and so he decided not to do it. But, then I thought about all the friends I have here, so I thought maybe I'd make an appeal (ok, beg).

>>Even though we never put up a campaign on Indiegogo, I have other means of getting donations. I have a PayPal donate button on my blog, and even wrote a blog post back in October (that all my many blog readers have ignored, even though 50 people have viewed this post), http://geek-goddess-bonnie.blogspot.com/2012/10/cyber-begging.html. Seriously, if you can spare a few hundred or a few thousand (or whatever), Gary and I might make it through another month or two. As you may or may not know, you don't need a PayPal account to donate via PayPal (credit cards work too, although I believe your credit card company will charge you fees).
