    So far its very succeessful, so much that in a few months I might just close it to new participants or have a queue of them.

    As for what I will tell the interviewer then I am not bothered Spod -- I am not planning on being interviewed for a job ever again, and so far I stuck to my plans -- meanwhile better go brush up your CV with mad skillz you have Spod.

    AtW, everyone knows that I'm Spod so what's the difference?

    You're de-skilling yourself by remaining outside the market-place. What's going to happen if your project fails? You're going to turn up at an interview and be asked "So, you've spent 12 months developing a search engine... Who for? Oh, yourself... Oh, right then, so you've really spent 12 months wan-king your savings away.... very industrious..."

    AtW, everyone knows that I'm Spod so what's the difference? The real reason that you posted a reply is because sad as it may seem, other than Mr Patel at the Off-License, this is the only social interaction you have.

    It's exactly because I get this reaction from you that I post my pityful little digs...

    Spod - In "Another pityful little dig" mode!

    It's a damn shame we have this immediate ticking off in the mind about how people sound. On the other hand, how many people really want to be operated upon by a surgeon who talks broad cockney?

    The only thing you can't do is work as part of a team you sad social reject.
    Good for AtW (that's three) I'd say. Us sad social rejects should stick together.

    Teamwork! Pah!!! If the biggest projects I have ever worked on are anything to go by,

    useful outcome = k * 1/ (number of people involved ** 396,473,782)

    I have no idea what atw is up to, whether it works, whether it will ever make money, whether or not it total bollux, whether he is a totally deranged reincarnation of Rasputin, but have not the slightest doubt it is worth 10 million crappy things that can possibly result from teamwork. Spit!!!!

    PS Spod??? But there are no posts by spod! Aaaah! DJC is spod? Is this what you found out from your gif bomb? Are you sure? From the little he does say, I would have put DJC a few IQ points above and many feet (by now) above spod.

    PPS Why not ask the question on the Ebay developer's forum or is that too obvious?

    Ebay

    Anyone actually done any programming on this. I had a look at the SDK and was wondering what type of software you could knock up.

    I also got a password finder for the Access databases for Turbo Lister. How does Ebay interact with this - or is this a purely read only situation.

    Ie. Lets mess with the Ebay Fees structure maybe?

    ATW you've blown it. I would have given you a twenty quid for the solution if you'd knocked it up for me. Think of it ....£20 - you're first money as a contractor!!!!

    and got home in time for tea.

    3 months later.
    Threaded could've done it in 5 minutes - and that's without the need for his time machine!

    Right, off home via the pub.
