    After Yesterdays fun and games.

    Hi All,
    Long time lurker, first time poster. Love the site BTW!

    Anyway I've had this brilliant idea for a website and I'd appreciate you input.
    The idea is to connect companies who need work doing with people who want to work, simple eh?

    I've had a bit of a google and can't find much info on this as it's clearly a niche market, so I was wondering if you could point me towards a list of companies that hire people, or to a list of people looking for work. Preferably to do with computers.

    So I've set-up my website on the free 50mb I get from NTL and have worked really really hard on this so far. Please review my future business site at www.ntl.com/users/websites/itmonsterjobsearch

    To everyone who reviewed my site. I don't think you appreciate how hard I worked on this! I know some of you build these things for a living and I know I'm getting your advice for free but it just seems like you're picking holes for no reason.

    Been doing a bit more research and have got a bit stuck. This My SQL thingy. It's some kind of datadisc, right?
    Can anyone tell me where I can get one, what it does and how to install it. Ta very much

    Yay, my first contractor has registered (take that cynics). It's someone called Cailin and they're offering Personal Services and Company or some PSC thingy. Sounds dodgy to me but hey, it's all business right.
    12:00
    2nd contractor, now business is really taking off. It's someone called Beans and their selling a Y-Reg Grey Diesel Passat. I'm gonna be minted in no time.
    13:00
    Flippin eck. Just spent my entire lunch time deleting posts from some Nigerian guy selling Playstations. To be honest I didn't think it would be so much hard work when I started this morning.
    13:30
    Horray!! My first client! It's some Agent (sounds a bit dodgy) but he's offering near market rates and will provide visas. Not sure how much to charge him as I'd like to retire next month.
    14:00
    Just been going through Yellow Pages trying to drum up some more business. Mum's gonna freak when she gets the phone bill.
    15:00
    Just been checking my email. How much viagra does one kid need FFS!
    16:00
    Now were shifting. Another contractor, some bird called Danny. Wants to be able to pick the colour of the phone on her help-desk though. Not sure she's going to be a team player TBH.
    16:20
    Wahoo, another client. Some one called Winston is looking for "a bird to put the kettle on" and his advert is insisting on pictures of bakery goods being included. I'm a little confused again.
    17:00
    Dammit, Just had a call off NTL. Apparently your not supposed to run a commercial site off the free webspace and a contractor named GreenFortune has been posting pictures of naked ladies on the site which has taken me over my 'fair usage policy'
    17:30
    Ok final nail in the business coffin. The DPA are suing me because some code monkey has downloaded my entire database onto a CD and is selling it on Ebay. Bollox. Damn this is hard work. I wonder where that Branson bloke finds the time to drive the trains, sell the CDs and plug in the phones. That's like 3 jobs. No wonder he's minted inint. Probably doesn't have time to drink that lovely wine he makes.
    18:30
    So the business has finally folded. Have decided on a different approach for tomorrow. I'm gonna build a search engine. I had a look on Google and it didn't find anything so it's time to get in early and fill ya boots. This time next year rodders. Anyways, it doesn't matter if that doesn't work as the Nigerian chappy has been back in touch as his brother works for their lottery company and he's gonna hook me up. Ker-ching.

    I'm off to watch hollyoaks now cos it's been a busy day.

    I just get a 404 error for your site - I think the look and feel needs work.

    Feel free to strop off in a huff for this advice.
