    Well, good luck with it.

    Didn't say all, but there was a report by some department or something that said that loads were. Which isn't good. I'm sure some are in great shape too though.

    Police is one of those extra noble and extra important professions.

    Also, good luck Aaron!
  4. The day I find a situation that free hotdogs does not make better, I'm jumping off a bridge.

  5. That's a tricky one to answer. I'm not entirely sure what the company is called. All I know is that I have to be on a street just off St Andrew Square at 11 AM tomorrow. They're some sort of sales/customer service company that other businesses use when they want to outsource.

    Best of luck

    My brother was just made redundant because the company outsourced Android. He luckily found another job.
  7. Thanks, Kieran. They're apparently a very new company in this area with a lot of places to fill, so I can only hope. The location would be great too.

    What a strange thing to outsource. Especially when you have a dev like your brother. I've seen some of his coding and it is very nice. Still, I suppose it only shows that Android is getting bigger. That can't be a bad thing.
  8. Tell me the name of the company when you find out tomorrow.

    It is, but they decided when we were on holiday. Apparently the company is fairly low on money and the project wasn't being done quickly because my brother was really the only person doing it; so they decided to get 4 Android developers in Dundee to complete it quickly. Then they took the decision to make him redundant because there was nowhere else to place him.

    He now works for Skyscanner as of Monday.
  9. Will do.

    The only Android work I've seen from your brother is the bus tracker app. But I've seen some of his HTML code and I must say that it was very nice indeed. Mr. Poland still goes on about how nice his HTML code is.

    The flights app? I love that app!
  10. Polland loves my brother. I always got how good he is at Computing in general.

    Yep, the flights app.
  11. Just found myself looking back through General Chat 15 and found this little image, posted by our beloved fabian:
