But I'll bagsie a smooth patch for you with a good view of Jobsearch City and pop a hot water bottle on it, if that'll help.
Do you need a few of these popped in the chiller box?

One of the other contractors here has just been looking through Jobserve.
There's a gig on there that I'm absolutely convinced must be the place oop North that I was at in February - April
I think I'll give that one a miss - nice enough company, but the location was so rural that I once had to drive ten miles to Bradford and back to get a copy of The Grauniad

You can get an export plugin for Flash that does it all for you so if you can Flash, you can iPhone.

though going by some of the people i know who have iphones, they'll buy anything that looks pretty and apps that do nowt. Whereas you're linux user will be harder to please
It'd be like trying to get the same code working for the Sinclair Spectrum, Amstrad CPC-464 and Oric Atmos: more trouble than it's really worth and none of them are just right, so you end up having to rewrite things all the time. I'll stick with my BBC Micro thank you

Anyway, I've never bothered getting my head around Cocoa programming before; I might as well have some fun on the iPhone, maybe even make a few bob, and simultaneously develop skills that can be applied to the OS X desktop market. Mac users tend to be quite happy to pay for reasonably-priced apps (around the $30 mark), whereas Linux users resent having to pay for anything.
