Well, I have been quiet for some weeks, due to being made redundant, and therefore unable to misuse the computers at work.
I have (obviously) acquired one of my own, and got it on line (all by myself; I tied my own shoelaces, too), to do job searches and e-mail job applications. If you apply for a computer industry job nowadays with a typewritten CV via surface (snail) mail, you are supporting the paper recycling industry but not otherwise achieving much.
However, the computer industry in the UK at any rate, seems to be very much in the doldrums, so I may have to ride out a long storm. Wish me luck.
