@chrislunch @hondanhon I’ve no idea what that is. A gap in my CV, obviously.
I would very much like endorsements for “Internet Typing” uk.linkedin.com/in/philgyford/
A better reflection of my skills than “User Experience”.
@jaygooby Actually I have a notebook with my Spectrum game high scores in somewhere…
@joe_malia I don’t have a banana certificate. I don’t want to lie.
Also added “Certificate of Attendance - Sewing Skills 1” and McSweeney’s “Lifetime Subscriber Achievement”. Expecting job offers to roll in.
@hondanhon I don’t want to disappoint them.
Wish I could remember what year I got my Lego Builders Club Senior Members Certificate.
Added my 1997 certification for “NetScape Enterprise Server for NT Course” to my LinkedIn profile.
@jennschiffer I was just boggling at the same 509 errors. I wonder which of their Dropbox accounts it is.
@tomtaylor “Reader”?! Is that all I am to you? I thought you cared! ON VALENTINE’S DAY TOO! IT’S OVER, TAYLOR!
Maybe it would all have been different if, instead of “Web two point oh”, it was “Web two point nought”.
