Folks,
Just a quick update: not something I ever thought I'd be posting...
What with IR35, and a million other reasons, after 18 years I've hung up my contracting boots and gone permy.
I've taken a job as a senior technical consultant with a company called Internet Designers Ltd., one of BT's BrightStar incubations. The job is fantastic, and gives me the chance to carry on with my Linux work, alongside the experience built up after 27 years in the IT world. I start at Adastral Park, Martlesham on Monday 18 December. Gawd help me! Stonking salary, share options, paid holidays (YES!), no managers, working in a technocracy, and so on, I simply couldn't refuse it...
Dancing Hippo still ticks along, for those who remember all that fun... Anyone need a cheap hosting deal?
Cheers, Laurie.
