Constant late payment
An interesting development, having been in touch with my client's accountants, my client has been paying said "agency"'s invoices for my services for the periods that I've not been paid, so that indicates they know what to invoice them for, and hence what to pay me. Knowing that information and...- cottonfoo

Constant late payment
They are indeed an agency. Payment terms are 30 days after invoice, as I state on the invoice. I have indeed read the link above, but not until last week :( I put the 8% statutory interest disclaimer on the overdue invoices notice, should it not be paid within 7 days of today. Can I backdate...- cottonfoo

Constant late payment
Hello, I've found myself in the annoying situation of constant non/late payment. I've since finished the contract but they still owe me in the region of 15 grand (yes). They do pay up _eventually_ but I constantly have to badger them, something I shouldn't have to do. Whenever I query a...- cottonfoo

That bloody Bob Shawadiwadi
I hadn't read that part, but since I've seen this persona mentioned a few times recently and haven't been on here that long, anything was possible. I have seen some that are worse, but real :) And no, I do not need any help thanks :) -

Linux and the public sector
Sun have been making thin clients for a while now, and X-window terminals (while not exactly the same) aren't too far off the mark. What with Google making inroads into MS's territory (and others like Adobe getting in on the act), and most people having some broadband capability, I suspect... -

I regret writing that now, but it was a very silly thing to say by someone that obviously knows his (MS) stuff better than most! -

I can't believe I just read this. Call yourself an industry professional? I'd call you an inexperienced, ignorant retard. -

Learn perl
PHP could not be more different from Perl, and if I found someone had written some "shell" scripts in PHP I'd let them go :) Perl has CPAN too (which I might argue is getting TOO big), PHP's library sites can't compare. I wouldn't say Perl was dying (there are a lot of quite good projects... -

Moving into banking
Unfortunately I'm rather competent at what I do do, so will show them up that way instead ;) I guess I will just apply for all the 650-a-day jobs I see that I think I can do :) -

Moving into banking
I see a fair amount of perl/sybase roles going at not bad rates, I'm confident I can do the work to spec as usual, but can't get my foot in the door. I'm looking for something along the lines of developer (in perl) or unix SA, or a mixture of the two, that isn't full of banking buzzwords. I'm...
