Sorry to hear that, David. Same story over here.. I'm on notice at the moment.
I'm looking for another job working with Perl during the Summer (mid-June to
mid-September, during Uni break) in Manchester, London, Brighton or anywhere
thereabouts.
For anyone interested, my CV's at http://printf.net/cv/cv.pdf .
(or cv.{html,txt} if you'd rather)
Thanks,
~~C.
