Very long time, no chat. Probably several years. Last I talked to you, either you or Rob was engaged, and you'd just gone on a trip through Europe. I can't remember where I was... probably juggling through community college or something. I wound up moving out to the east coast, 
and things are going very well. We'll have to touch base sometime, maybe talk about old days (FreeStuffCentral, Greg Meyers, what'shisname 
who ran TheFreeSite, etc... the internet was so different in 1999). It 'd be good to hear from you again.

Strange events usually prompt awakenings like this. For me, it was a friend of mine I know through an annual convention. To the point, he lives  
somewhere north of Minneapolis, and he's a tech guy who needs work. I'm pretty sure you don't have anything available (checked your site just in case),
but if you know someone who needs his skillset (heavy linux/unix skills, administration, etc) he'd appreciate it. Since I'm living in Baltimore now, I don't know
what the market is/isn't like up there, but the minute he mentioned Minneapolis I remembered some old friends in St. Cloud.
