Nope not a chance unfortunately - it's a local government shindig so budget for next year is already submitted and apportioned - only way the budget will go from here is down.

Have you built your MP3 artwork organiser thingummy-jig?

Not yet, as I thought I'd found a software utility to do what I want - essentially work through a bunch of directories applying an image file in that directory to each of the MP3 files within via an ID3 tag. Unfortunately it seems the software in question has trouble with certain MP3 files if they already contain artwork tags (the author suggests it is those that have been processed by iTunes, but I need to confirm this).

I might just end up writing my own utility I think, although my quiet spell at ClientCo may be coming to a close shortly.

Afternoon denizens

Just got back from my interview over in Brum. I think it went reasonably well.

They want to do a technical test too, pairing with one of the permy devs for a couple of hours. They then admitted that as well as checking technical ability, which they got skanked on by the guy they dumped just before Christmas, it's also a way of making sure one gets on with the team on a personal level, which seems reasonable. It's vaguely reassuring that they want it to be a team that gets along with one another, rather than just a bunch of wage slaves.

However, the dev lead's house flooded at the weekend, so he didn't have time to make the arrangements; they're hoping to do it on Friday now.

The actual project sounds very cool indeed - definitely something I'd enjoy working on, and the chance to make real use of some technologies I've never got my hands properly dirty with to date (RDF, for example).

Fingers crossed

Good stuff - best of luck on Friday. Is it in central Brum?
