Might you be the Tim I met @ BarCamp Texas in BCS? I spent most of the sessions in the first section of the workspace and sat (with my sister) near the front and on the left side. I ask because I am considering a contract @ V in Irving and I was just telling Barbara (sister) about it and she remembered meeting someone at the barcamp who worked @ V. Is that you? Well if I guessed right -and you have some time- I'd love to get your take on the environment there. (I'm sending a message to your gmail too) Hey there!
