It finally happened. Randy Pausch died today :( http://tinyurl.com/63qqmn

@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.
Female geek in the North of the UK? I heartily recommend http://www.manchestergirlge... (it's tonight!)
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.
