	I dont think there is much of a chance to find people to work fulltime in Canada thru this forum. (and maybe Im all wrong ;) ) Also the job requirements looks a bit too high profile for this community. Im some years in the industry, running my own studio, and reading it Im in doubt if Im good enough for the job :)

	Jan, I think you'd be an excellent candidate for this position... London's a pretty nice city, too. If I was still living in Ontario I'd certainly apply, but unfortunately I'm about 4000km west of there. Ridiculously huge country... Oh, and I think DragonMax from the old Pixelation boards works there...

	Hey Ian, Im glad you still alive and true to the pixels ;) Thank you both for trusting me. I ment competence-incompetence question more like a joke ;) Its that I just love job descriptions which basicaly says you have to be a human machine, know 10 languages and all. It just, I dont know, doesnt fit with the hobby-retro spirit of the forum. Anyway I cant go work for any company anymore. I just employed more people myself and so I got to take care of my own company (PixeLive). ;)
