[ale] Job change leads to job announcement

[Jim Kinney]

I am leaving IBM to join a medical research think tank group at Emory.

That means my position at IBM is about to be available. Maybe. Not sure yet
how they are going to do things. But at this moment, they are looking to
add someone to keep my chair warm.

The position needs a person who is OK working with Microsoft (65%) and
Linux (35%) (Mostly RedHat and CentOS and occasionally SuSE) and willing to
poke around at AIX and maybe even smack a Cisco router with an upgrade. I
was __W_A_Y__ overqualified. This would keep a "new person" hopping and a
mid-level person very occupied. Lots of assorted tech to tinker with. Lots
of virtual machine work (Vmware and oVirt/KVM) and OS updates and other
assorted IT support "stuff".  Plus the winning entry gets to inherit the
pile of bash scripts I wrote to automate as much of the Windows stuff as
possible so I wouldn't have to touch it :-) .

Warning: email uses Lotus Notes which should be outlawed by the 1972 Geneva
Convention on cruel and unusual workplace punishments.

Using Linux on your main desktop/laptop is very OK and actually encouraged.
Win7 otherwise. There is an IBM supported version of RHEL that is very
solid and usable (except for that Notes crap).

If you want to work at the former ISS location, hit me up off-line and I'll
forward the info upstream. The external job notice is NOT out yet so my
description may be crap. I've had a lot of fun getting to solve problems
and create new solutions and poke with a wide mix of technologies. It's a
good but of people to work with.
