The email address on your CV?

Googling your real name also turns up multiple references to your forum name. It would only take someone to then google your forum name to land here.

e.g.

freelancer.co.uk
sourceforge.net

I don't think you'd have to go to too much trouble to find my real name from my forum posts, but you'd be hard pushed to go the other way.

Very tricky as a contractor. It's possible to 'interview' though, as a permie.

well... your 'about' page is a torrent of gibberish, though i did appreciate what you were at there. Something valuely factual about what you're trying to sell might help. You can shift the other stuff to a 'tulip we like' page maybe? Although, for me, differentiation between one's professional and personal life is a necessity so it would just go.

At the end it was just us. Seeing someone you care about, and fought for, lose their battle is tough. Other blood relations couldn't be arsed.

I'm back in Bonn. Got a weeks work here, and potentially more. Very hand to mouth and very fragile, but at least currently I can invoice. For this I am grateful.

SY06 built a tiny Olaf snowman and adorned it with one of her pink sparkly hats, and pink scarf. It stood around 9 inches tall I reckon. Then got SY02 to film it and send the vid to me here in Bonn, with her explaining what was happening. This little lamb did more for my "getup and fight" spirit than anyone has, probly ever.

So, snafu, and all good. X
