We've just lost Heather Trueman to a full-time job elsewhere.  We need
a replacement.  We are open to suggestions and/or applications.

I have no idea what the official job title is, but "Software Technician"
is what we've been calling it.  It is part-time work, officially half-
time at the moment.  It will not become a full-time position, nor is it
officially guaranteed to last forever.  Pay is a bit over $600/month.
The hours are fairly open except for backups, which are on a rigid
schedule requiring punctuality.  Supervision is light.

THIS IS NOT A PROGRAMMING JOB.  It is very much a "technician" sort of
job, doing non-trivial but fairly unchallenging work.  It includes doing
backups, helping customers, helping staff, and generally being a "gofer",
doing most any chores that don't require programming expertise.  Some
of the work is tedious.  There is ample opportunity for learning about
Unix and how it works -- Heather is leaving to become, essentially,
a Unix system administrator -- but this is not a large part of the job.

Intelligence, interest, and enthusiasm are much more important than
previous experience or background.
