If you're up for a move, we have an open Sr. DBA position here at
LodgeNet Entertainment Corporation.
http://www.lodgenet.com/employ/descriptions/sr_dbase_admin.html. We
use BO, are migrating to 10g from 9i. Mostly HPUX, but migrating to
AIX, some Linux, some MySQL, some MS/SQL. Sioux Falls, South Dakota is
a great (small city/town) to raise a family in. Wonderful people,
great community, growing economy. Contact me off-list and I'll
make sure your info gets to all the right people
