So here I am again. I have reapplied for the PHP Developer position at Last.fm.
Ever since May 2007 when I first visited Last.fm I knew it was the place for me. I applied and interviewed, but ultimately did not get the job because I had very little experience and no visa to work in the [...]

I finally heard back from Last.fm about the job in London on Monday.
Unfortunately, it would be to costly and time consuming to obtain a work permit for me to work in the UK so I will not be moving to London.

Don’t you love how its nearly impossible to read some peoples Myspace pages because the background picture is visible through the transparent boxes?
Isn’t it cool how random hot girls who you don’t know constantly send you spam friend requests?
It’s a testament to Myspace’s awesomeness that even the owners of 23″ wide screen monitors still [...]
