When is a programmer not a programmer? When he's not programming.

For the last few years I've been working in retail stores. Well that's OK because I love working with people, and it's flexible.
This year I've been in the mountains, climbing and hiking. Well that's more that OK, it's fantastically great!

But now (yikes!) I must get a real job on a real project doing real software. It's very much like the housewife who wants to re-enter the work-place. Wish me luck!

So I'm spending lots of time looking for jobs in my town, as well as updating my BNF open-source project, which is "almost" ready for a major upload. I'm re-discovering Java/Swing with UML and it's really great to work with. Also the drive to keep the application simple and sane for the poor user who must handle my files is a fun challenge.
