Web developer crack?

[matgb]

One of the best things about having Wordpress installed on a domain is actually the Planet Wordpress feed. There's always something there that's interesting. Today? Via PhotoMatt (that's the guy who made Wordpress) I followed a link to Firebug, a new Firefox extension from ParaKey.

So, you ask? Well, ParaKey is the company set up by the guy who started the Firefox project. Firebug is a bit like the Web Developer Toolbar combined with DreamWeaver. Which is sort of like saying a Porche is a bit like a Skoda with a decent paint job. I've been playing with it for the last half hour or so. I think I'm in love. With a Firefox extension.

I think I need to get out more. Oh, wait, that's what I'm moving to London for, right?

Firebug's been around for a while, I've used it at work and it's a useful tool.

Well, it's new to me, and they say still in beta. It's definately time eating. I was supposed to be installing stuff on a domain tonight, instead I'm just playing. Oops.

Have you sorted out a job in London yet? If we have any freelance web dev stuff crop up in the new year would you be interested?

[matgb]

Nothing sorted yet, decided to start seriously when I get there as once it got so close to Xmas/leaving date it became moot, and 5 hour journeys for job interviews would annoy.

I'm not really much of a developer, I play as a hobby, and can read/amend some code, but for the most part I'm an amateur.

But usability stuff and/or search optimisation I can play around with if anything is there. Still not sure what I'm looking for really, something challenging is the only real criteria, preferably something that lets me write stuff.

Cool, I'll bear all that in mind if anything crops up.

Don't worry, I moved to London and still have absolutely zero social life. You can remain an anti-social geek!

I may have misinterpreted the point of your comment. Sorry, no refunds.
