nick sounds like you have a proper job, I'm tired of working for clients who a) dont really give two sh*ts if it takes 100ms or 10 secs, b) will never have enough users to give a sh*t

It was fun being at Y!, but about three weeks before Christmas word came down from California that the existing permy hiring freeze, imposed pending ongoing re-organisation of the business, was to be extended to include a worldwide ban on contract extensions

Still, within a few minutes of my being told that my extension wasn't going to happen, the soon-to-be-ex-Y! manager who'd originally hunted me down at a conference came along and asked me if I'd like a contract working with the team he was about to form at his new job, so that all worked out OK

I'd say you were one lucky sod, but it appears you're more talented than that. I may be turning green with envy, but at least it's not food poisoning.

Pop round for a brew next time you're in my area. You can give me some tips. I'll be in the cardboard box below the overpass. No need to knock, but don't forget to wipe your shoes on the way out.

I wouldn't want to sully another's cardboard box... and I may need to rent it from you next time around

It is at the posh end of the market. Got it from round the back of marks and sparks. I think it must have contained knickers, passers by keep saying "there's a c*** inside".
