I am, as they say, 'at liberty'

[jackwilliambell]

Today, I was laid off. My position was eliminated during a fairly significant management reshuffling and I preferred the layoff over demotion to senior developer. (Yeah, I may end up a senior dev somewhere else, but that would be somewhere else. It is a fine distinction, I will admit

Ow.

[jackwilliambell]

Don't worry about me. I'm way better off than the people I know who have been out of work or under-employed for the last three or four years.

[randy_byers]

Wow. Didn't see that coming!

[jackwilliambell]

NNNNo one expects the Spanish In-qui-SITION!

[samildanach]

Ugh. Sympathies.

[jackwilliambell]

It wasn't much fun, no. But as stated elsewhere, I'm OK.

Well, I'd like to have a chat, we're not in a position to offer much at the moment but we do need some embedded work doing to get more of our clients into the wild and we're picking up prospects at an alarming rate.

Drop me a line on david (at) viafo (dot) com

[jackwilliambell]

Will do

[daveon]

Great - because if we can work something out I have a LOT of projects I'd love to get somebody onboard for. We're needing an iPhone client super urgent now, and we're also seriously in the market for a port of our back-end architecture from GAE to Azure/Appfabric.

Drop me a line and we'll find a time early next week to meet up and chat, I'll bring Nick my "CTO" too.

I'm OK. Heck, if nothing else maybe I can finish my novel finally.
