Hi David,

– The first thing we ask all candidates is to send us some of their code.

1. Netty “adaptor” for WebObjects (vers 1.0):

Boo! SVG is better

– Excel

Whatever.

– AJAX, “web 2.0”

The way to go.

I’m open to and would love the experience.

I’d love experience with it.

Eh?

Nice.

Cupertino is a great place to work! Stockley Park, not so much.

IKM Test Results – Recruiter #1 David Harbour

Here are the test results of the IKM coding exercise, a 2hr online test that i did last night (whilst watching Spiderman! Shh!! Don’t tell him! 🙂

David Harbour is from @Aston_Carter recruitment agency and he’d shortlisted several interesting jobs, including another position at BSkyB! None of the specs specifically are Scala roles. Instead they’re Senior Java dev. roles. I’ve yet to read through them properly and get back to David, though all he appeared to be interested in was me doing the IKM test!?!?!

Recruiter #2 John Nash representing BSkyB

The second recruiter to call me last Wed morning was John Nash from Argyll Scott Technology.

FYI: Coincidently, John Nash is also the name of the renowned schizophrenic mathematician (of A Beautiful Mind fame) who was later awarded the field medal in mathematics, the highest accolade possible o/w known as the Nobel prize of maths.

BSkyB set a coding exercise. (It looks like they get their job applicants to do all their work for them!)

Unattended+Test+-+Rewards.pdf

Sadly i was too busy with the preparations for and then the interview in London of recruiter #3’s Scala job at Zeebox the next day. So i didn’t have time to do John Nash’s coding exercise. Nor did i much care for the idea of working in Osterly (part of Hounslow, an Indian ghetto!). I’m sure that’ll have made me VERY unhappy (and paranoid!).

Hate Mail @gayromeo

Some apparently white guy responds in defence of my aversion to indians (due to my paranoid schizophrenic delusion of Indians having funded the LTTE).

A fake profile? Could it be an Indian even? RAW? Or is “feline1” #eelamnet?!! LTTE?

there seems to be some mistake on your profile – 
it says looking for “Nothing” but then the racist bit about Indians says you’re looking for a slap? /confused/

Interview at Amazon UK by 2 Indians – Jul ’11

Here’s the email from the amazon UK recruiter. It was way back in July when i was still employed at UOW. I wasn’t too interested to be honest, but i still had two telephone interviews with two Indian soft. engineers…with whom i didn’t want to work with in Slough anyway!

By coincidence it was around the same time as i’d raised my discrimination complaint re: lapse of IT security at UOW with the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board.

Who were these Indian pricks?

This one buyer for my car made a decent offer (thereby making me neglect other lesser offers) and subsequently has stood me up twice! Yesterday and today! He was supposed to come and see the car.

Where’s Siva Krishnamoorthi now? #eelamnet #RAW

I just got msged on linked in by an old co-worker from AIANZ when we were working for Siva Krishamoothri the manager whom i first worked for in Switzerland (and after which i started to develop symptoms of paranoia/schizophrenia)

So what happened to Siva? He became CIO of AIA Australia!! (AIA being a division of AIG the insurance company that went bust at the start of the sub-prime recession)

LinkedIn Richard Lewis-Shell has sent you a message. Date: 1/07/2012 Subject: RE: Join my network on LinkedIn Hi again, No, I mean Siva! He was somehow the CIO of AIA NZ before that. The AIA NZ CEO was promoted to the AIA Australia CEO, and he brought Siva across to be his CIO. Siva brought Gordon in and he ended up running the infrastructure space until Siva ‘left’ (much like in he ‘left’ the NZELS project).

I ended up working for Siva and his brother Murali at Techcon in Auckland doing another version of NZELS for AIA NZ, and then coming across to Australia to work for Siva (and Gordon) when he became CIO for AIA Australia. Siva ‘left’ AIA in 2005 I think, and I kept up for a while but haven’t heard from him for a 3 or 4 years or so. Did you keep in contact with any of the other guys from that project at all – Gordon, Wiro, Derek?

I do not have her email. but please call after 25th Oct, when her mum will be there.
Our Brandy’s son was given to Aunty Suvi. and they live in Ward Place.  She also comes to the Salon often and we sometimes go for shows together.
My friend GABY STOCKER also is with Nestle Co in Australia, and lives at 8 Murray Road, BEECROFT, NSW Aust. Perhaps I may visit you and them next year.

God Bless,
