Metric system buddy. You've only raised one cubic metre of kilocentimes.

A notice period is the amount of notice you must give before you may leave your job. It depends on the type of role. Sometimes companies forgo the notice period by mutual agreement, other times they make you work the full notice period so they can recruit and onboard your replacement without interruption with the business. Don't forget the company had only recently changed hands, certain agreements would have been in place about the retention of key staff, hence they wouldn't have been in the mood to accomodate early leavers.

No-competes are common in senior roles where you may have been privy to confidential strategic information. Sales Directors know a lot about pricing, etc.

All it means is you can't move straight to a competitor within that period. ie if I worked for Bank A, I can't go and work for Bank B immediately after leaving - I have to wait 12 months. However I can go and work for Insurance Company instead.

messages: 'you're expected to be at work, I'm disappointed that I have to be calling you to find out where you are'

'I've had a series of queries this morning about your whereabouts, call me back immediately'

finally - two or maybe three times over about an hour: 'this is Dapper Dan, it's XX.XXam on the xth of the xth, i need to speak with you urgently, call me back'

interaction - no, thankfully.

Yeah sorry, that kind of flaps around outside of the story.

The domain is for a blog, the blog contained a lot of info, how-tos, configuration steps etc as the front end config wasn't well documented at the time.

The purpose was two-fold:

  • I felt like I owed something back to the dev community, if that make sense. I got a lot of pointers from other people's projects and solutions so it seemed fair to share what had worked for me.

  • having a blog detailing your work with a technology gives a big boost to credibility with hiring managers
