Burg, I've got a mate who is currently doing his MCSE

He's not the sharpest chisel in the box but he is a grafter, that's for sure.

Somehow I don't think he'll be applying for your teaboy position.

Roughly 28-36K

Or, less than a tube driver and I'd guess you don't get 40 days holiday either.

I appreciate helpdesk isn't the most difficult job in the world but it's a bit more fking complicated than Scalextric.

yes I think I'd rather be a tube driver than work on a helpdesk! Thought it was a bit steep for relatively entry level stuff, no offence intended to anyone etc. etc., but then we get paid in coal round here.

mmmm!! I think you might have better chance if YOU email the OP, and maybe show a little bit of initiative.

Well I'd like to know what it is I'm applying for, and I can't send my CV using the PH Mail system anyway (tried before making that post) wink

Are you speshul? Send the guy a mail, he responds BY MAIL, you then send your CV. It's not bloody rocket science.

That old system has kind of died a death now, though the Ubiquiti kit is st red hot. Played about with loads of it, implemented and recomemded a load more, very stable and does what it says on the tin.

Right about now I'm playing with guidance systems, lots of GPS and serial port horrors on embedded linux systems. Still, I'm not up at rocket altitudes or velocities so I'm not paying licence fees for my home grown differential GPS designs. Once I'm down to sub 10cm accuracy I'll be very happy.

The biggest problem I've got at the moment is that I've lost all my soldering skills so mocking up circuit boards is frankly embarassing after a bit of bread-boarding that is, plus I can't afford the development kits to make a concrete decision on what harware platform to choose.

A bit of me is leaning towards PICs but only because I have a programmer and some bits and bobs knocking around in the spares box, but I know that developing this way is never going to get me anywhere, so I just keep pushing all the cleverness into software, which leaves me bypassing all the cunning stuff available in newest hardware.


Still, at least there might be a help desk with an empty seat available somewhere if I get really stuck!

Or even grammar. A 'boss' who can't learn or take constructive instructive criticism is no boss I'd want to work for.
