Don't make mistakes.

Great to see you're still going Nigel! Is this library the latest iteration of your original VectorGL project?

Hi Steve. Yes, it is! 10+ years in the making.

Probably related that Foodpanda announced they were shutting down in Thailand.

It currently costs <1 USD to perform a Bitcoin transaction:

I've had the same experience with a constant stream of freshly minted recruiters want to add me on LinkedIn each and every week.

I've done contract Rails dev in London for the past 2 years now, before that I had clients in the South of England, Dublin and Belfast. Apart from holidays I've not spent any considerable time out of work.

The demand for contract Rails devs here in London is showing no signs of lessening

What are the salaries like? Rails dev in the North West here.

Here's a relatively recent post from the LRUG mailing list with a bunch of jobs in it:

Another from the same guy from a while back outlining the market in general:

Average rate has been around £400/day the last year or so though if you can tell your ass from your elbow it's not difficult to charge more.

The last few years I've been building up a portfolio of dividend paying shares. In the previous 12 months dividend payouts have totalled GBP 2488.31. There has also been some capital growth.

The portfolio is inside a SIPP (self-invested pension) and the funds funnelled into it have been the profits from my contracting business which would have been liable to higher-rate income tax here in the UK.

Keeping money from the taxman which then makes me more money is great, shame I can't access any of it until 2040 ;)
