No, I wasn't kidding, though the whole offer sounded strange 🙂 But I trust your words. I am able to move, and I can start working any moment. I really want to work in a team as skilled as yours (and I would consider myself skilled, too, but where I live there are no good IT jobs, that's why I'm unemployed atm.). I'll send you some kind of resume and a few samples of contrat and/or hobby work I've done (Don't judge me by the quality of the SourceSafe tool, I've written it in only 2 days, but it works well :). So, in any case, when could I expect this to happen ? I might have to do to the army else, if I don't move out of the country, and having to go to the army sucks 🙂 Well, I probably can't shake hands in office with you tomorrow, but I'l like to get this done ASAP is possible, because of the army issue 🙂 Also, you got some serious butt-kicking to do, so your admin upgrades ftp.valvesoftware.com like I told you last time, casue there are 2 public exploits against Serv-U 4.1, and there are also 2 unreleased private exploits which work up to 5.0.0.4 (I have a few connections, and write some exploits myself, too). Also, may I officially pen-test your network the next few days if I'm bored ? I'll tell you all the info I found 🙂 I did this for RWS once (with permission) and I gotta say they are pretty damn secure, but they don't host any big servers like you do for Steam. Well, I really hope you hire me, I'm no bad guy, just a little misguided 🙂 >Gabe Â
