I was on the bench for a month and have just been offered a perl and C# contract for £300 per day near London, just when I was beginning to think perl was going the way of ancient Etruscan (which it may still be I guess). Spent the last week mugging up on C# and .NET and scraped through the interview questions. Apart from the rate, which isn't bad for perl, this should be a good chance to get into .NET or at least be in the running.
The guy asked quite an interesting "bonus" question about linked lists, which I'm ashamed to say I flunked. If traversing a single-threaded linked list, how can you detect any closed loop? Answer (or "an" answer): Traverse it with single hops and at the same time with double hops, and the two traverses meet eventually at the same element if and only if list enters a closed loop.
(Another method is to reverse every pointer as you go, i.e. from the next element back to the previous element, and in this case the list has a closed loop if and only if you end up back at the first element of the list. But I think the first method is better, as the list elements needn't be changed.)Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Probably port sunlight on the wirralThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

It's a mixture of Accenture and IBM, mainly IBM I think. Accenture are doing the SAP implementation and application development across EU, the general stuff is IBM and is done out of Port Sunlight and other global locationsComment
