Part time contract work building and maintaining a java based web application. Includes some server maintenance (apache, tomcat, cron, etc) along with development using postgresql, struts 1 (+tiles), spring, and some ruby.
It is a contract job that can be performed from Portland, or anywhere else.
Basically lots of assundry tasks keeping up with various maintenance needs and enhancements, about 8 hours per week.
Maybe I'm over-imagining, and that part is just explaining the various plans as part of the new hire process and making sure the papers get signed.
Experience/knowledge in long term care is required. Let me know if you're interested. They have not posted this yet so you can have first dibs!!
