[Nigel Fortlage’s Weblog : Weblog](http://jroller.com/page/nfortlage?entry=how_time_flies "Nigel Fortlage's Weblog : Weblog")

The reason I am posting this job is that Nigel Fortlage is a very cool guy.

He gives great presentation – but the reason you might want to work with him is the fact he uses so much open source componentry.

Notable is his bleeding edge use of Linux on the iSeries. If memory serves me right he was running it before IBM supported it.

So lots of cool new open source technology to use and support. The user experience is all managed from the server, and did i remember to say, Nigel is a great guy?
