New job!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

New job!

Post by Metal Vendetta » Tue Apr 19, 2005 10:16 am

From Monday I'm going to be starting in a new position with pda content company AvantGo. I'll be working mostly from home designing adverts and content for them, all for more money, more holiday and more benefits than I'm on right now. Couple of trips to the States thrown in.

w00tness.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Online - just words and pictures, basically. They have to be kept quite simple to display on a pda. The clients are mostly car & gadget companies (Sony, Audi, that sort of thing)
