I guess this is worth a punt: I'm in Sydney and currently out of work. I've got experience with a lot of languages and I learn pretty quickly, in fact I'm currently working on refactoring the Libreoffice codebase.

I'm looking for part time work, and frankly a lower salary doesn't worry me even slightly as I want to focus on looking after my kids and spend more time with my wife... You wouldn't have any part time work going? I'm a dedicated worker who values quality code and practices.

Hopefully this isn't too inappropriate asking on HN!

Chris, completely fine to ask here, What are you Python skills like? If Python isn't your main skillset is there another language you're proficient at?

My Python skills are limited, but that's never stopped me before :-) I've got decent skills in Perl (yeah, ancient but Perl is under appreciated!), Ruby has always been an interest of mine... I guess my main skill is I'm a rapid learner.

I'll have a look at the link - thanks! Will shoot over an email once I'm home.

Regardless of the outcome though, it's impressive what you guys are doing. I love that you are doing something to help the homeless :-)

Oh great, I think we'd love to speak to you. We do have one Perl app that's still quite heavily used actually...
