    Eh, pls #boost my request to #getfedihired, if you could spare two clicks? 🥺 I've been humming and hawing about posting this, it feels strange, something about generational guilt & working class shame & ... but it's either this or start putting my CV through LLMs to include every buzzword on the listing I'm applying to. I haven't been able to stomach that, even though I presume that's a lot of my competition.I simply can't get to an interview. Historically, I've done three interviews and got the job each time, because I'm a real human being who is friendly and chatty and presents himself sincerely (or, that's my guess, anyway).#Christmas miracles appreciated!In #Ireland with my partner, but we've lived in different places and would move happily. I've a year experience doing an IT support role the last year, but have transitioned to this stuff later than usual. Before I've done: bartender; bicycle courier for Deliveroo in #Berlin for two years (best job ever); private tutor for five years in #Lyon (mostly piano but also maths, Irish, English, flute, tin whistle); bookies clerk for a short period; a few other odd bits - one highlight was writing reviews for a theatre company.Oh, very comfortably fluent in #French, pretty fluent in #Irish (my first love), and intermediate #German (which I would love to have a chance to go back speaking and learning).Tech-wise, it's been mostly on the #Linux / #Emacs / #Lisp side of things. I would happily work on anything that is one or more of challenging, interesting, useful, or moral.Money doesn't rule me. I want to live with a humane level of comfort, that's all.CVs and references available, DMs open. Thanks so much for any and all help!

    “You know you want to do more with Artificial Intelligence. Two problems have held you back: the expense of the hardware and the scarcity of #LISP programmers.” 512K of memory recommended. (Ad from Byte magazine, Jan 1985)

    @symbolics I've see records of a purchase of a Xerox Interlisp D-machine by an Italian research institution in the late 1980s. The price tag, which included WAN connectivity and support, was eye watering.

    I modifed the M-x Calendar so that it displays 2 decimals instead of 1 and displays red and blue colors for week ends like the japanese calendar. I never had real work coding experience with other peoples code and it feels quite rewarding #lisp #gnu #guile #elisp #emacs #lambda #linux #bsd #debian #tech #os
