    • I'll add this one when I get a chance. In the meantime, I just wanted everyone that sees this to know that I am no longer at Epiphany, and I am not interested in contract jobs related to Epiphany software. Check out ActiveGrid if your enterprise wants something less bloated and expensive than J2EE.
