Life is pretty slow right now to be honest. Unfortunately I didn’t get the position with Toucan, and I’ve not heard anything back from Organic Development, so I don’t think I got that either. Not that I’m hugely bothered, because they seemed like a bunch of complete idiots, and indeed the idea of using Joomla for ever was a bit daunting. It’s not even a nice CMS.

I’m still on the job hunt, which isn’t too much fun. I’ve been sticking at the web development though. Making a fair few websites in WordPress for people, and I have been working on my own CMS focused at band websites, as there isn’t really anything that meets that specification around on the Internet.

I suppose things didn’t work out at the new(ish) place then? Where are you headed next?

How funny, I had an interview with Organic Development just over a month ago - well I say an interview actually it was a full on here is something wrong with our Joomla setup, we are not quite sure waht it i, can you fix it? (Yes I did) In the end though it boiled down to money and they worked on a basic + commission basis and they didn't contribute towards pensions, and at the end I thought it a bad idea to go for a job based on commission as the economy is entering a slowdown... (and I'm not sure I could bear the idea of only doing Joomla) it's a bit annnoying though as it was my ideal place to work. Period. Well except down on the quay. There was also some talk of a position with Toucan (with a recruitment consultant) - who I would also have loved to work for, but there was nothing at my level, alas. But anyway I got a call out of the blue from somebody else and I start my new job on Thursday. Pretty exciting. I'd better do some more reading and see where you have ended up. I'm glad you are doing some web development again, stick with it. J Hi Dan
