Axeman are you a student? The ideal employee is punctual, efficient and pleasant. what kind of job are you applying for?

I think he is applying for a job at iamcal.

Duties in the first year include:

ego massages for the iamcal regulars
feeding the trolls
fixing broken weblinks
polishing the gif of Sul's naked arse.
Posted by AxeMan, 26th October 2007:
 
Is this an opportunity for valuable work experience; I would work with cal at ludicorps or yahoo! Please give me access to the system to perform these tasks.
Posted by AxeMan, 26th October 2007:
 
I have a good CV and keen to learn about the web
Posted by syl, 26th October 2007:
 
You also have to have a fight with me and be stalked by me and be sent gifts by me.
Posted by Jade Goody, 26th October 2007:
 
You're all fakes and liars.

FAKES AND FUCKING LIARS. All of you.

And whoever's stealing the stock cubes is gonna get a bollocking.
Posted by Meatwood Flack, 26th October 2007:

Posted by Victor Menendez, 26th October 2007:
 
I love Rosie.

I also love Sul, But in a 1950's gay way, not in a steamy man-grappling new age Clapham Junction kind of way.

Can I make annoying threads now?
Posted by jeffry, 26th October 2007:

Harpenden is a town in the City and District of St Albans of Hertfordshire in the East of England. It lies on the A1081, between Luton and St Albans. It smelled of cockroaches, with rats all over and that there is no sewage system and the people do not have anything -- no arms, no legs, no eyes
Posted by syl, 30th October 2007:
 
Ah. I'm slow. Duh! *thumps forehead*

Hello Cal,

I found you while searching for "how to get started building a scalable, data driver web application" something very similar to Flickr.

I have experience in building desktop applications but none in web applications. Can you give me some pointers how to get started? A book, internet resource?

Appreciate your time.
Kapil
