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

[TheFaQQer]

Current project.

Can't tell you about it without breaching certain legislation that I'm not allowed to discuss. However, you can probably pick up the details on a train into London any day soon.....

worked at a well known high street bank and was on a Daily rate - Invoiced for 6 weeks of work for every 4 week period, for around 11 months! Was awesome.

Was asked to do this as was working all the hours the great one could send!

Somewhere near Vauxhall. If I told you more, I'd have to kill you.

Of the ones I can talk about, Channel Tunnel was pretty cool, developing an office application, that linked together various disparate parts of the operation, to make sure, for example, that the food truck went to the same platform that the HGV shuttles were going from. It was rather nice when all Chunnel staff knew the name of the application you were single-handedly working on. It was also pretty cool have a badge that gave me access to pretty much everwhere on the site.

have you strapped to a table while a laser inches slowly towards your groin to cut you in half, before you escape.

I wonder who it could be???

Strange you should say that. I also work near Vauxhall.

i worked for an insurance company for 18 months. Took daily 2 hr lunchs, strolled in btwn 9 to 11 every day, left not later than 6 pm, worked a total of 20hrs a week, worked 2hrs on sat n 2hrs on a sunday n invoiced for a whole day at double the rate in the weekends....ME n my bestest figured out how to automate and analyse 200 + files with min ease. God bless self funded training. The best bit is the test manager wants us back. That has been saved for a rainy day

Did an Internet Check In System / boarding card scanning system for BAA. Did the whole lot myself - took a year to do. Lots of pressure but very rewarding. It doesn't feature as strongly in my cv as I would like it to though, reason being it went live the day terminal 5 opened! (guilt by assocaition and all that)

I developed a contact management system for my dad when I was 12. I'd only done games before that. As a contact management system it wasn't very good but I like to think the dancing sprites and catchy theme music more than made up for it.

I worked on something analyzing video streams. That was interesting and learned loads doing it, and got a whole project to do by myself and see through to completion, which is always good.

I do get excited by my plan B, though that tends to get in the way of getting on with it.

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.
