[ale] OT - Job Opportunity in Alpharetta

[Michael Smith]

Sometimes the only time you have to learn something new is when you get
laid off.  I've been laid off twice and been lucky enough to find work
pretty quickly(month or less) but during these times I was off I really
got caught up on new coding languages and trying to update my fedora core
bleeding edge machine.  ;)  They were stressful but productive times.
