Default A few things

Right, been a busy boy recently:

1) I've given the digital-director.co.uk site a bit of a face lift. Still not quite how I want it, but it's slowly getting there. I'll use the same template for videoforums.co.uk when we make the move to phpbb 3.0 and upgrade the forums. This will probably be soon... the predicted release date isn't far away. Because it will involve a complete change of the database, I'll also be using a test site first. If all goes well, I'll apply the changes to the live database.

2) I've ordered a Glidecam 2000 to use with my XM2. Expect a full review soon!

3) I've had two job interviews in the last two days - wish me luck!

If you do manage to get that 'Used Condom Salesman' job, make sure it's not commission based. I'm not fully convinced there's really a market out there....

Excellent news indeed. What is the job? i.e. Role and location.

Do you think you are likely to take it?

Pensions implementation - something I'm very much interested in (I'm a sad git)

BUT it's in leatherhead, which means about an hour of driving each day... should I take it?

Well done Marc, take the job!

I had a job interview a couple of weeks ago. 10 minute presentation to Executive Director and Head of IT. It was nervwracking, but I think a put them at their ease after a few minutes. Stone me they offered me the post. Now promoted! Hurrah!
