Thanks Pyro.

I'll drop them an email, see if they're looking for a designer. I'm not a coder by any stretch.

Yeah it's 'full service' (a term which always cracked me up, feel free to tell them, they're all up for a bit of character flair).

So there's basically a design team and a web team, a fair bit of interaction (we're all one family) but almost operate independently (art direction etc).

Also, just said we. Haven't worked there for 5 months :<
Being single, you'll fit in well. Not that you have to be single, just that opportunities to pick up hot irish women while out on the lash during/after friday night drinks with the team is high.

tl;dr, I couldn't recommend a better place to work, no matter the dicipline.

What about the series 8 plasma..... 

won't be wall mounting, HATE wall mounts!

Someone asked about plasmas a few months ago.

Plasmas have to have a glass front, and for whatever reason it can't be matte. So it's shiny.

In anything but absolute darkness you will see a reflection of yourself, and you might say on here now "oh yeah but I'm going to point it away from the windows" or "it can't be that bad"

It is.

Don't buy a plasma.

Growler would want to see a reflection of himself. He'll stand all day with his shirt off.

You've now sold this place so well that I will cry if I don't get "YES, WORK FOR US" in response.

I have friends in Dunsandel that have offered a temp. room, but they are newly weds and I'd rather not live (no matter how short a stay) with newly weds. If I found a place to crash or live with who were tight butthole bros then that'd be top shelf stiffie times.

My skills include:

Playing the banjo with my junk.
Ordering pizza with my junk.
Jacking cars with my junk.
Putting my junk in trunks.
And avoiding eye contact.

Anyway, I thought you were in Kapiti, Lias? Are you working in Chch and sending money home?

Staffing issues are bullshit, they're all champions.
Talk to a personable human who isn't just reading from a fucking screen when you call.

After quite a bit of negative press over at GeekZone, Snap have _publicly admitted_ they are having issues with staffing levels and support wait times.

Quote from: RalphFromSnap
...
Apologies for any issues - we've working as quickly as possible to get a number of CSRs on-board so that the call times get back to much more acceptable levels.

Cheers
Ralph

Overall yes I do think snap are pretty cool guys, and have done great things, but they are not bloody perfect!

We're out in the 'goon (Rangiora) which is ~25kms' north of Chch (Dunsandel is like ~45km south of Chch)

It's xsannz's call cos his house, but I've met you, and know that your my kind of raging sexy times super fun bro so I vote yes :-)

The main skill you will require will be playing with xsannz's junk, wearing a gimp suit, and of course avoiding eye contact, so I think we could be onto a winner here.

Need to steal crimping tools from someone to crimp an rj45 to an rj11 >__< and figure out what pair adsl uses here, think it's outer

i still have the tools and outer pairs, unless tech who wired it was muppet.  then it could be the middle two and thus why a splitter is needed if you got phone on.

So here's the thing... my standards since separation seem to have gone up. I seem to only be keen on chicks that have a standard of upkeep themselves, and although I don't mind the odd drink here and there, I'm steering clear of the chicks that will binge every weekend, all weekend.

Why must I be so fussy at this age, when the pool of options is steadily decreasing!!?

I'm the same as well.

The next girl I get into a relationship with (not into bed with) has to be pretty high calibre. I think it's future proofing any BS that could arise. You've experienced what you don't like in a relationship and what traits in a women cause those issues (due to them not working alongside your own traits). You're more precise about who you want to end up with.
