Oh, btw, moved to Portland, OR.

Did I mention that? Wife and kids are set up in a house 10 minutes outside Washington, in North PDX. Beautiful, looks like an art deco Bilbo Baggins house with a Redwood (!) in the backyard. Pears, apples, blackberries, blueberries, all growing in the fully landscaped front and back yard. 10 minute walk to the elementary school and 5 minute walk to the grocery store. Access just as easily to the light rail (or the highway, if for some reason).

I have a built-in office in the basement with 60 meg pipe and long-distance VOIP lines--after 2 more months travelling to Austin, building HL7 interfaces, I'm looking for remote contract work. Or local Portland IT work.



We are not socially isolated in Portland. We have grown-up friends, friends with cool kids, and we are not total oddball nerds here.

(I mean, we are, but everyone is.)

Sounds cool Flint! How about some pics when you get a chance?

Glad to hear the move worked out!

Holy cow. That's huge!

How do the wife and kids like it?

Oof. I'll really, really try. I think they're all in txts on my iPhone.

wow

what brought this on, if not a job?

is there some kind of nerdy gravitational pull in that town?

also, beware... I believe Tiki resides in or around that locale

Yes, nerdy gravitational pull is exactly what brought this on.

Congrats, Flint. I suspect you and the rest of the Flintstones will love it there.

Visited there when we lived in Seattle. Nice place. Nice people.

Yep, "nice" sums it up...nicely. They already love it there, and I do too--when I get the chance.
I'm going up next weekend for a week of working remote (thank you, cool boss of development team).

Pooka is suggesting we go to visit the Goonies museum, if :::ahem::: anyone wants to do a thing with us up in WA.
