Bondage and Submission

fluffymarkAnd the big news today is....
My thesis has gone to the binders!
Yaaaaaaay! Which means sometime later this week, it'll be submitted to Senate House, and the long slow plod towards the viva starts. It's a relief, but feels all so anti climatic. Guess it'll sink in soon, when I start jobhunting properly. Don't suppose anyone has any hints of places to look for programming jobs? (preferably C++ or java, but I can probably learn any other programming language in less than a week. Oh and I'm highly skilled in mathematical techniques and games programming, if that helps any...). Or even better, anyone know of any actual jobs going? Worth a try asking here...? *smallsmile*
Today was fairy day again, always something to look forward to. You see, I have a fairy calendar, so on the first of every month, I get a new pretty fairy to drool at (they're cute, but not as sexy as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arkady's faery drawings, unfortunately. Otherwise I would be in trouble!). This months fairies seem to be dancing around a tree. Awwwww. *smallsmile*
And I hate to disappoint anyone hoping to see a *huge* scar on my leg in the near future, but my leg appears to be healing up very nicely. The lovelyarkady kindly stopped me from freaking out at the scary hospital on Sunday, where I had the stitches removed, and my leg is feeling much happier now. There will be a scar, but it may be small, hard to tell. But I still can't poi until it heals up, because the wound is on exactly the bit of the left leg that always gets hit when my left hand goes all uncoordinated (which happens all too often). Want to poi. Want to poi! *poiual frustration* Grr grrr grrrrrrrr

Date: 2003-09-01 05:01 pm (UTC)For games programming jobs, I used http://www.datascope.co.uk/ who seemed quite good (and got me a job offer at Codemasters:) Though be warned, games programming jobs on average pay notably less than comparable programming jobs in other fields:/
As for actual jobs going, ISTR that we are recruiting atm (er, I think this (http://uk.jobs.eds.be/en/kijkkast/ShowJp.asp?JpId=4476&category=&country=be) must be the one), though that's not in London of course.
Good luck..

Date: 2003-09-01 05:20 pm (UTC)Don't mind if job is games programmer or not, i'd expect them to pay less, but i'd be more likely to enjoy the job so its ups and downs whatever. My main problem i suspect will be convincing employers i've got 20 years experience of programming with no qualifications whatsoever!
And the luck is most appreciated. *putsinluckbox* Need all i can get.
