Stop me before I consult again

Well, it's been roughly a year since I first posted here to the securityjobs list, and I still haven't found any permanent position I'm interested in. I am getting to -really- dislike consulting---spend too much time looking for contracts and end up dealing with too many bozos, solving the same problems over
and over.

So, I'll ask the list again: anyone out there looking for, or know of someone looking for a serious information security goon? I'm a UNIX bigot (I use OpenBSD by preference and edit everything with vi, if that helps you peg me), and spend a lot of my spare time writing statistical intrusion detection code. In short, I'm really not looking for entry-level stuff.

The ideal employer I'm lookin' for:

-Considers security a top priority
-Isn't already married to vendors for their security widgets
-Is organised such that a single motivated individual can make
         things happen on a day-to-day basis

Ideally, I like working for smaller shops---startups, previously. The main reason for this is I prefer to build things from the ground up rather than try to fix 'em after the fact. I have experience working in just about every kind of environment from brand-new startups to multinationals, from research institutions to financial services companies.

I won't bother posting a resume, but if anyone is interested I can supply 'em with one. I currently live and consult in the Silicon Valley/San Jose area. I'd be willing to entertain the idea of relocating for the right position.

Thanks for your time.
