    I am impressed by your ability to get people moving to other client sites to take you along!
    Indeed

    The interview was interesting - three fellow geeks, one of whom I already knew and another one who'd heard of me through the work I'd done previously for NewClientCorp. It was more of a "let's make sure we'll all get along" interview; there was little chance of me not getting in, given that the new boss wanted me there.

    Giving them a rundown of how I got to be where I am, I was stopped at 1990: "Could I just take you back and ask you to tell us more about your time as a games programmer - not because it's relevant to the work here, but because it sounds really cool!"

    I knew then that I'd definitely cracked it

      Right, let's see what my options are for getting Facebook apps running properly...

      I need PHP 5 or Java (presumably the Servlet API), but the people who host my site don't support PHP beyond 4 (despite my badgering them) and impose preposterous restrictions on Java servlets, so I might have to buy a new domain and set up with a different hosting provider

        Well done!

          It would with me too. I'd give you the job.

            Ooh, apparently there's an official PHP4 client bundled with the PHP 5 download - it's not mentioned except as an aside in the developer wiki...

            {scampers off to download code}

                Oh, I can eat it alright...

                It's just the constricted throat, the itching mouth, followed by the rolling around in agony and the projectile vomiting that I don't like.

                Same thing happened when I incautiously consumed some bombay mix...
                Huh? What's the problem? That's what curry did to all of us the first time. That's just what curry does.

                      Only another 473 TPD posts to read ... that's just under 24 hours worth.
