  well I think I mentioned it earlier. that I got a job. Its with a consulting company that does its primary business with ibm software. The software industry is moving to be able for large systems to communicate with other large systems. This is were ibm and its technologies I will be learning fit in. its a 2year gig which is a formiddable contract duration.
The longest I've worked continuously is about 2 years so this will be a stretch. hopefully it will be broken up into short work contracts of 6 months. I am configuring a java j2ee container, tomcat, so that it uses a datasource, or jndi, to lookup database connections without success so far. can't seem to find enough documentation on the topic. on a personal note I've been hitting the personal ads, pleading my case to the various ads that I see. I don't think its a real alternative. A lot of work with a lot of people not really particularly interested.
I will give myself a month. and I will try another site. and then try it out at the next place. my sleep schedule is all messed up, I am going to bed to late and waking up to late as well. I need to bite the bullet here this week and get up early and stay up. until I get it sorted out. need to get regular before work. all for now
