You're really not the brightest are you?

You are so bright mate, that if you were to be launched into space the whining from you would make the sun disappear....

Did I say whining? I meant shining!

[sasguru]

Yeah, it's London prices here

Did someone say Perl/Catalyst?

PM me, bear in mind it's in Birmingham, but we can do flexi time +/- 1 hour from 9am.

@Owlhoot: some top tips

- take a lower daily rate and get paid partly in shares
- take some nuts if you have an interview, it's a winner for sure
- agree with everything AtW says, again a winner
- suggest as an offhand comment that those people who short on shares should be imprisoned
- tell him what you had for lunch and ask what he had
- say "wow, that is some Super Killer Application" you have got going there
- try not to picture a Meerkat sat across the table from you in the interview

FTFY!

Yeah, it's London prices here - I realised that last week whilst on the train from London looked at paper ads, and it's like - wtf, seems bigger houses for less now in London!

Your talking tulipe there.

You are testing Mich...

It’s what I do.

C# permanent ones, and a possible short contract PHP site to Perl/Catalyst conversion.

Did someone say Perl/Catalyst?

That's one of my specialities, normally with DBIx::Class (a perl module usually used with Catalyst). And I've had PHP contracts too.

Seriously, AtW, PM me a sketch of what you're after and maybe we can start something.

But don't delay - I'm already negotiating a two-month piecework contract for, you've guessed it, a Perl/Catalyst CMS, like one I did for another client.

edit: and I've also had a C# .Net contract. So I'm pretty familiar with that, although slightly rusty.

You are testing the limits of my patience now Mich...

Can you imagine the pish that comes out AtW's mouth each lunchtime in the office.

"Niet!!! Zee onion goes BELOW tomato, NEZZER un top!!"

FTFY

[AtW]

"NO!!! The onion goes BELOW the tomato, NEVER on top!!"

As long as tomato is not called a fruit, it's ok!

To answer your question - I expect people to work for me as if it's the their last job and they need to do their best work ever. And then some on top.

Are you going to pay them their best rate ever so that it is their last job and they can retire to the Bahamas after a couple of years?
