schestowitzThe company I work for is mentioned there toFeb 25 07:51
schestowitz*tooFeb 25 07:51
schestowitzThe job I do in the weekends is one that I got partly thanks to nepotism. It's a person whom I've known for a few years after he tried to employ me. It's an open source consultancy that's one of the leading in the UK and it offers services to companies that make use of open source software (a field where I'm pretty well known). The client I get assigned to has about 270 servers down in a London-based datacentre. It requires Feb 25 07:53
schestowitzmonitoring. If an alert comes up I need to respond by accessing the servers and addressing the issue, sometimes escalating to the right person.Feb 25 07:53
schestowitzIt's essentially similar to the job I was doing at Manchester Computing for years. This one pays better and even with just 2 days of work per week I can cover all my expenses and work exclusively from home, which is a major plus. It does not interfere with my other online activities, which in part contribute to my daytime job too because as a hobby I promote open source software.Feb 25 07:53
schestowitzIf there's anything I ever get out of my dedication to FOSS, it's stuff like that. I don't actually get paid and never was paid for advocacy... but it's so much funFeb 25 07:54
