A lot of goalies are not in a so good shape nowadays... Luongo, Khabibulin, even Price seems to be a bit shaky...but it 's good for their backup to show themselves, look at Cristobal Huet, the best french player in the NHL ;D.

Been out for a couple of weeks now. Curtis Sanford is his main backup, and we've also been playing Corey Schneider, a kid who's been doing well in juniors, for a few games. He makes some flashy saves but he's bad on breakaways and shootouts, and he plays pucks behind the goal WAAY too often. I like Sanford but no-one else does. Need Luongo back anyhow :\ I kinda see consulting as something you get into on the side while you still have a steady income in case it doesn't work out! Right now I have no job, nothing. I'd rather get something that pays steadily than chance my arm on trying to get consulting gigs. People don't often hire 26-year old consultants, for whatever reason. Luongo’s injured, worse luck :\.

Since I know such good members of the family like you are sacked, something is broken between Mandriva and me. By the way, thanks for your dedication to Mandriva all over theses years.

Your profile is probably what big companies need when they switch from Win to Linux. Linux consulting is a growing maket I guess and your know-how has a pretty good value there IMO.

I'm looking at an Ubuntu posting: http://webapps.ubuntu.com/employment/canonical_UGDE/ "Work with the rest of the Ubuntu Desktop team to incorporate improvements they make (in the form of patches to the individual components) into the packages, and ensure the patches are maintained for each new upstream version." EPIC FIAL Here’s one point against. I’m looking at an Ubuntu posting:

That one's a no-brainer. I like Red Hat, they're a good company, and I quite like Fedora, and it's by far the most similar distro to Mandriva, so less of a transition shock. I'm very much hoping they will. Oh, that I’d jump on. That one’s a no-brainer.
