I'm out of the loop, but the last local tech job I had was with instant domains inc. That was great. These days I'm doing marine/geo science work with an NGO and I don't hear much about the local scene. A lot of the old players are still around, but there must be something new and interesting happening.

A coworker mentioned there's an autonomous marine sensing startup right in the downtown area. I want to look into that.

Any specific areas you want to buy in?

oh, i think a friend might work there if theyre partnering with uvic at all.

generally okalands/fernwood, though ive been eyeing some spots on the gorge
