Hot Job -

I think you should apply at least for the fun of it

Damn, ya know what, I've seen that job listing, and I've seriously considered it. :)

It sounds like exactly what I do at my current job AND it's in the gaming industry.

I'm happy where I'm at, but what the hell, I might as well give it a shot. 8-)

Sounds like a really good opportunity, I remember you mentioning you fancied a change back in your birthday post I think (or at least it was a post where you mentioned your birthday ;) )

There's never harm in trying, you never know where it might lead...

I think I can program pretty well, it's my compiler that needs convincing!

And now a joke to lighten to mood :D

I wander what programming language anakin skywalker used to program C3-PO's AI back on tatooine? my guess is Jawa :P

That would be awesome, I remember you mentioning being nervous about making your move into the game world, I hope you get your shot. Would this involve a move for you or are you in the area?

Dear god, they actually ported ES to a piece of celery!
