Well, I'm going to Croydon, but not for at least a week (probably longer; accomodation-wise) and I'll get Internet from there, so I'll still be here. :P

It's average for starting in the CF industry, and I will get payrises relatively quickly, according to the agency guy.

If I went for a PHP job, I'd be starting on ~14-15k, if I was lucky.

What fire said. It's another server-side language, but not as nice syntax as Coldfusion. It is free though, so that makes everyone love it.

Post by: evilknight on July 25, 2004, 10:05:33 PM
well, since this is the job topic, i might as well say i might have a job by tomorrow.
it's gonna be a slow one, just bagging groceries and stuff.
i put in the application today, and the manager was there. he took it, flipped through it real quick, and then said to come back tomorrow at around 12:30.
w00t.

Uh, shouldn't you wait until after they've gone to the toilet - things might get messy otherwise.

Post by: evilknight on July 25, 2004, 11:36:00 PM
LOL, no, we dont do that stuff.
bagging groceries is easy shit to do, and im not gonna complain about it.
sure, the cashier is probably getting payed twice what im getting payed, but it's also 10 times the work.

the sad thing is ss, you're basically right.
you can either say you were crazy, then if you can manipulate the test well enough, and it really shows you were crazy, it can take you from life in prison to maybe 20 years house arrest.

For attacking a person?  Isn't that a bit of a harsh penalty?  :miffed:

Don't knock it as soon as I'm not here - I'm now casually learning CF and I have to say I much prefer PHP.  That it's free, totally versatile, and has updates and security patches provided almost instantly are nice bonuses.

Good for you with regards to the job though!

Sorry, I'll wait till you're here before I knock it next time. ^_^

The main benefits of PHP are because it's open source, whilst CF is owned by Macromedia - if it was the other way round, everyone would be using CF. *continues plotting to take over Macromedia*

I thank you.


And now for the two random questions:

What's happened about that list you were making for FoN?

...and...

Did you make this Invision skin yourself, or did you find it from somewhere?


Title: Job
Post by: SS on August 08, 2004, 12:31:07 AM
The skin: I think it's the default one? :miffed:

The list: Is coming along, slowly. :|
(I've only had two 'sessions' on it so far... I'll do another tomorrow, then it'll take one or two more to get it finished, maybe)
