I thought it was spelt the other way too! Looks like my planned career in
high-quality catering needs a rethink... :)

'AFAIK' is an acronym. 'ne1' is another big word that means "shortening down a
word".

Well, I apologise for my own comments, but 'ne1' is bordering on "hacker speak",
which I find pathetic and annoying. Probably because I find the people who use
it pathetic and annoying. Probably because one of these little morons hacked my
machine and I'd like to have a word with him/her about it. And I'm not much of a
talker, see...

True I guess, but there ain't a jobs at linux.ie list, is there? Is there? I dunno,
I can't check - Indigo, and therefore linux.ie, is offline. If there isn't
though, maybe there should be. Or a biz/jobs list?
