Since everyone is spamming jobs now, I could do with a Django developer - or someone who could pick that up quickly: http://www.mauveinternet.co.uk/jobs I've been looking at offices in and north of Portsmouth, so the fact that I say "we're based near Chichester" is a bit flexible. Love and kisses, Dan PS. FWIW, 1-2 adverts per person per month sounds like a good way to slash the signal-to-noise ratio of the list. Members of our community who relay job postings, while perhaps not actually endorsing anything, stake their reputation that it's worth our attention. Anyone trying to do that without a reputation or trust to stake is just a spammer. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

There is a hyperlink which one can click or not. And it is a relevant local job. Full blown, detailed and more frequent job advertisements are far more intrusive and annoying. They were certainly irritating me - and you, equally certainly, are not. And nor did Hugo. I realise that I may not be typical.

[Hampshire] Backup media
Hi, There is already lots of data regarding backup media like CDs, DVDs, Tapes etc. The best being off-site network backup to a remote backup facility. I cannot find anything on usb flash disks. Does anyone know how long data will last on a usb flash disk if I store a picture on it, and leave it in a draw. How long before my data fades?

No reason not to apply for it... unless it's a principled decision to not 'support' that recruiter? (My apologies to those of a sensitive disposition for the grossly mangled grammar above. I realise that the previous line contains three negatives, a split infinitive, a dubious verb phrase, that it's not a proper sentence, and ends with an inappropriate question mark.

How long before my data >fades? I don't think there is any as the media hasn't been around long enough for meaningful tests. I seem to remember magneto-optical media was the best but i don't think there is anything aimed at the consumer. Last encounter i had with MO was my syquest drive. Syquest are dead now though. Maybe someone will know if Jaz drives from iomega that are sold to companies are MO or something else.

I have been in my current job for over 15 years and during that time have looked multiple times with long periods in which I was not looking. For this reason I only ever give out a CV for a specific vacancy and get very angry when my CV is put forward for jobs I did not apply for. After a while you get a feel for who is going to try and spam your CV and the postings and emails "fit the pattern" - this was enought to put me off.
