----------------------------------- Tony Wed Jan 12, 2005 9:56 am I'm employed ----------------------------------- I have already mentioned this in couple of threads, and to a number of people I'm in contact with over MSN, but I have the need to make a more public annoucement. Tony has been employed by . At that point my co-op workterm will be over and I'll head back to the University of Waterloo. Here's the breakdown of the good, bad and ugly as it concerns the rest of you: good:: I'll get experience as a real full-time (though contracted) Software Developer. That experience will come in handy to further develop bad:: Unfortunally this 9-to-5 activity will be taking up quite a bit of my time. Atleast untill I get into a routine. I might not be as active around the forums, but if you PM me a question - I will get back to you soon enough. I hear that Dan has University just 3 days a week now - bother him instead :lol: ugly:: I get enough code to write at work.. I'm sorry, but I will not debug yours. ----------------------------------- Martin Wed Jan 12, 2005 2:07 pm ----------------------------------- the awesome I wrote your resume. ----------------------------------- ZeroKelvin Wed Jan 12, 2005 2:37 pm ----------------------------------- Wow.. this is wonderful news (is this gonna help fund this site? :wink: ) Jks ... anyways ...
