I was offered a 5 month fulltime contract on Friday with Natural Resources Canada. This is the same group of people I have been working with in the past. The main part of the contract will be to build an english version of the Geosemantica application (link). This application will support groundwater projects we are working on in the Okanagan and another set of projects in the Gulf Islands. I'll also continue contributing to the research and development of the next generation of this application and do ancillary web page creation, project management etc. Looking forward to it. Makes the whole mortgage thing seem a lot more manageable. I'll be back working downtown at Robson and Seymour. Good news.
