| @EggManJohn: True, but you can get entry level .NET people. Guess that's the thing.. 'entry level' Rails jobs wouldn't make much sense. |
|
| @base10: Sadly, I don't know. Seems high though. Probably because most jobs require a high-end dev.. not really any 'entry level' stuff. |
|
| @Stubbs: No, though I've seen a £40/hr 3 month Rails contract in Sheffield: http://is.gd/13UB |
|
| Uh-oh, I think I might have to get some purple shoes.. the look is awesome! http://is.gd/13Us |
|
| I feel sorry for companies in the UK trying to use Rails. Seeing quite a few job ads in the £50k-£60k range. Ouch! |
|
| @johnleach: I made the opposite mistake when I was 17. Thing is, I actually attended. Oops. |
|
| @NeilCauldwell: If the thought of @caius @thehodge @andymitchell and me being there doesn't put you off.. yeah! :) |
|
| Anyone else going to "An Evening With Fred Wilson" in Leeds next month? I've registered. |

| Advertising for regular writers / bloggers for Ruby Inside - http://rubyflow.com/items/682 |
|
| Hmm, Amazon suggests reviews be up to 300 words long. I have 1495.. |
|
| 41,506 of Ruby Inside's visitors came via 16,536 unique Google search queries in the last 30 days. |
|
| @Thehodge: Perhaps I've missed the memo, but what are you looking to do next? |
|
| The one good thing is the card is still at 6.8%. If they'd put it up to the current 15%+ they issue, it'd have been "buh-bye!" |
|
| 2 weeks later, I get a new Barclaycard. They still won't tell me what was fraudulent though. Can't be bothered quoting Data Protection Act. |
|
| @adamtaylor: After some consideration, I've come to the conclusion that question isn't answerable in 140 characters :) |
|
| The petrol station was packed at 6am. Who /are/ all these freaks who get up early every day? |
|
| Just read Aaron Greenspan's (the guy who claims to have invented Facebook) book "Authoritas" in one go. What a well written train wreck. |
|
| I know this makes me sound like a prize moron, but for some reason I prefer my glossy 24" iMac screen to my 30" Cinema Display. |
