...my company is looking for some quasi-experienced C++ coders if anyone is looking to move.

I've, uh, read a book on C++, a bit, about four years ago.

Does that qualify?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Sadly unlikely; we're looking for people with experience or graduate types.

My ex (galliana) is looking at the moment. She's done some pretty nontrivial stuff in the past in C++ (like a multithreaded Netbios client and server subsystem, despite an almost completely undocumented Netbios interface).

Well if she wants to get me a CV I can pass it on.

I will insert a boot in the requisite orifice on your behalf. :)

PS: Should my NASA thing not come off for this summer, I might be interested in a bit of on-the-side contract work myself during June/July/August...

We're on the look out for coders as we rush carefully finish our latest product; so you might get a nod.
Jobs just outside Cambridge incidentally.

No probs -- I have a car. There's an oldish CV at findatlantis.com, but I can send you a more up to date (but more academic-orieted) one if you like.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Probably better to send that closer to the time; at the moment we want people who can start nowish, or guessing at the products schedule, lastmonth-ish ;)

OK, no problem. I can't really do much before the end of the easter term really. I've given galliana a prod though -- she has less of a problem with time.

I could in theory do it but I ain't working nowhere with Elephants! ;-)
