What was the most interesting project you worked on as a contractor

[lightng]

The best place for me was an official secrets gig as well. Really the whole project was tulipe and it got canned but the things I got to see made it all worth while.

Please spill. What did you see? Alien bodies ? Evidence incriminating members of the royal family?

It has to be...

A couple of years ago, I worked for a high st. bank (don't ask, don't tell). I was living rent-free with a mate about 3 minutes walk from the office building so I could take mid-morning/afternoon breaks back in my room watching the telly, checking the net etc. Even better, I kept bumping into my mate's cleaner and ended up starting sleeping with her at lunchtimes whenever she came around.

I've never worked on an interesting contract so can I tell you about the most interesting job advert I ever saw?

It was to maintain the PriceWaterhouseCoopers email/internet profanisaurus, and would have involved staying up to date with the latest swears, cusswords and terms of virulent abuse. PWC must receive a lot of those.

Another one was quite short, but did say it needed experience of Access, VB and missile targeting systems

Pools prediction

Most interesting project I worked on was a football pools prediction program when I was 14 on my ZX Spectrum.

Obviously it didn't work.

Actually the really most interesting project, or contract rather was with the Foreign Office - developed Visa immigration solution that allowed all those foreign I.T. workers into the country lol, but seriously did some great work, mentored developers and travelled the world with them for over 3 years.

Happy days.
