    uber cool rails developer?

    February 3rd, 2009

    let me start by saying that i never normally use my blog to advertise “corporate stuff” but as you will know i recently started work for whitelabeldating.com and so far it’s been totally awesome!

    not only does the role suit me down to the ground, but it’s a damn cool place to work (i’m not being paid to say this honestly!). the team are young and full of energy, i was greeted by a macbook air and there just so happens to be a games room containing rock band, xbox 360 and wii. need i say more?

    anyway, as times are becoming harder with the economy, the dating industry seems to be going strength to strength as people want someone to share their can of beans with.  as such, the team is growing at a rapid rate and we’re now looking for some topnotch rails developers to come work with us in Windsor.

    wreckon you’re up to the job? be sure to get in touch with me at mkirk@whitelabeldating.com … what are you waiting for?

    the day has finally come, it’s time to say goodbye to team aardman. they’ve become great friends and there’s no question that we’ll still hang out. i’m grateful to aardman for introducing me to such an awesome group of cool people!

    after the most amazing night of rockband stand-off, i decided i’d repay them by giving them the power of the thursday video… little did i know what they had in store for me!

    i swear, i’m an angel… my halo glows from afar, they’re just winding you up! thanks so much to everyone for your love and support for my time at aardman, i just hope to have half as much fun in the next project!

    keep smiling,

    when faced with the prospect that i could be a serial head bobber, i had to take matters into my own hands…

    if anyone wants to give me tuition in being cool, it’s clearly needed and i’d be very grateful :)

    again, a huge thanks to the guys at WikiWorldBook. for those of you who haven’t checked out their service, be sure to do so. it allows you to be found on the web via the huge power that is google - you can then be contacted without having to reveal your contact details or the other person having to register. pretty cool hey?

    much love and hugs,
