Had an interview for an IT role in Sweden last week, emailed me today for an 2nd Skype interview next week. Lets hope I can make it through the 2nd interview this time!
Didnt make it through to the next round for the role in Ireland, which I dont mind as thats a location I dont want to move to. The Swedish IT role is more senior anyway.....still annoyed about the Switzerland job though!
@Maccy just got back from Sweden!
Job interview on Tuesday, large Government organisation and on promotion, same field but substantially more responsibility and a salary package to match.
Need to revise legislation for potential questions, it's the only part of the role where I need to brush up on as it's a specific remit and without exposure to the organisation from the inside it's very difficult to figure out how they do, what they do.
Fingers crossed, last 2 times I've posted in here it was a success, 3rd times a charm!
Good luck dude! Keep us updated!
Not heard if my contract is being renewed or not yet for my contract position at Novartis. Hope it is, I can't be arsed to go through all that crap finding another day job! Hopefully find out soon anyway...
Had a bit of a stressful one, to the point my wisdom teeth were flaring up. For some reason I get terrible teeth problems when I'm stressed... had 2 wisdom teeth out already as they were going sideways and every time I was stressed the slight inflammation caused me epic pain. Anyyyyway, had another wisdom tooth yanked, so lets see if that does the trick.
SaveNode has been moving forward, but trying to get the people to actually do what they were supposed to is a bitch. We employed a company to do this work for dev, but they just didn't get it. Even after all my documentation. So after weeks of saying they would demo the work in 4 days etc. I sacked them. Meant I had to go backwards and the SNO token has taken a huge hit, but hey. We're in the long game. We will be releasing our multi currency crypto wallet soon, so we're taking on the dev work ourselves, and seeing who we can hire
My current work load is on documentation of the backend systems and hiring some people if I can. We've been added to Delta Direct, so you can get SaveNode updates direct to your phone via Delta now. Works really well.
VolAir app work is going really well, it's looking super slick. Like, from idea, to UI mockups to what's been delivered is 98% spot on the same. A lot is actually better!
Here's last month's update, we've done a lot more on the detail and home page to make sure all the typography is correct and you can favourite locations, planes, airports and now we're finishing off the search element, (huge amounts of data to sort well) and then hooking it up to allow our partners to input promotions and stuff. Really cracking on now...
Raised like $0 though, which is always fun, but we're lining up a few institutional investors to speak to once we've released the app so see how that goes. We can launch and run it without funds, and each flight that is booked using our app we make money on, so that's all good. Would be nice to have a marketing / payroll budget though.
emotuit was going pretty well, with one uni finally supposed to release last month and another one wanting to roll us out, but then it's gone all quiet. This is edtech. Welcome to the fun of delays and empty wallets. Hope I can pull these 2 deals in, it'd boost us a huge amount, if not just in the PR front.
Path need to email the attorney about this and will do it today, still haven't signed a partner agreement with Badgr. Think it comes back to bloody EdTech/ Education, but hey. I've been busy anyway and one of the founders just got promoted at work, so he's been super busy.
Goat Cash the one thing that started as test contracts for VolAir has probably got the most done since we started!
I did an update of what we've achieved in the last 3 months and while sometimes it feels like not much, it's a huge amount.

Our game is 90% there, so that's the second release and with over 50k images uploaded to our current dApp, that's pretty cool!
In our telegram, we have people who keep asking "When Binance?" and if you know crypto, you'll know that it's the largest exchange there is, with $1b daily volume. Now, we had a few beers one lunch and one of my mates/ cofounders bet me a bottle of vintage
Petrus that I couldn't get Goat Cash on Binance. Now, I see that as a huge carrot (it could have been for a 10er, I'd still do it) and so made it my mission to do so. Fast forward a couple of days of me trying to connect with the CEO of Binance and I ended up chatting to him one Thursday night. Explained what we do, where we're going, and that we'd love to chat about listing and he wants to stay in touch
I told my mate I'm getting that ******* bottle!!
Anyway, that's my update/ brain dump. Back to working from home waiting for the plumbers to arrive and fix my burst pipe.
On you go!
