we have no contract. This was something i did at night on my own time.
I took one of my personal firewall scips and modified for work,
on my own time at my house. I have never been paid for this scrip
and do not want this company using any of my work that i did for free.

If there are any shisty companys out ther reading this post....you
will do best not to hire me. ALSO...my life is not about a job..
i thank you for your concern though. Using Linux is about using
Linux for fun.I refuse to let corprate assholes be a killjoy.
.....
I guess im being childish. I just hate it when my good nature
has me be taken advantge of....thats all.
