Welcome to Montana Freelance Technology. The scope of this site has changed. I am no longer readily available for hire and plan to begin blogging, posting news that interests me including technology news, PHP snippets, and various tutorials with Linux or whatever I am up to at the time. As always we will continue to manage our publicly available IRC chat network as well as support our remaining clients.
