In the short term someone with Zend Framework and/or Magento Experience (not sure that the or is actually possible there), We are happy for this to be a freelancer, or someone interested in a full time position with us - either way we would need you to work from our office. In the longer term (i.e full time, or a freelancer who wants a longer relationship) a broader knowledge of PHP and experience in producing full web applications using frameworks and a good understanding of OO programming and web security are essential (and an ability to express that ability in some way). We are a fun bunch to work with and we live in the city centre (so its pretty convenient for travel, pubs and lunch choices). find out more about us here: http://www.nameless.co.uk/ We have had a lot of CVs sent to us, and sorry if we have received one from you in the past but not personally responded (we do get a lot) - if we did and didn't get back to you then you probably didn't really express your PHP skills very well, so if we overlooked that erroneously then let us know! Recruiters: We don't want you to call us to put us on your lists - in fact I don't want to take calls from you as a first method of contact, however, if you have someone who fits the bill above (I mean really actually does, not a Java programmer who might be interested, or someone with the keyword PHP somewhere on their CV under intermediate skills or hobbies) then feel free to email us (a personal email not a sign up to your mailing list) and let us call you if we are interested. -Stu ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:21:45 +0100 From: "Keir Moffatt" <hello at iamkeir.com> Subject: [_] OT: Renting a house To: Underscore <underscore at under-score.org.uk> Message-ID: <770032030806240721p56b92c0fjbd82c90e66c01e2b at mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi all, Just wondered if: 1) Anyone has/knows of any properties/rooms to let, ideally in the Clifton or Redland area (ideally 2/3 bedroom)? 2) Can recommend any agencies that I haven't got on my list (currently got lists from Kingsley Thomas, Terry Olpin, Anthony James and intend on getting some lists from Rents Direct, Abode, Flatline, Jacksons, Digs) 3) Any local newspapers and magazines (I will be checking Evening Post and Metro although I forget which day is for Lets) 4) Any decent websites dealing with property in Bristol (I've tried Gumtree so far and have been googling for others) 5) Any sources I haven't yet tapped into? Any feedback would be really useful to compliment my own searches.

It's horse related, and is a product. Even with a patent, I know stuff like that is only really as protected as the money you are willing to spend enforcing it, but I need to find out potential costs etc. Has anyone ever patented a product before and willing to share experiences? Thanks in advance for any help - on or offlist, I don't mind.

Obviously it's the more semantically correct of the two but input with a type of button is in greater use on the web at large.
