Hmm. No feedback from Umbro yet (which is worrying the agency man, he seems suspicious that maybe they've gone with somebody else and not told him), but we have heard something from JoJaffa.
It is mixed news - apparently they can't employ me for the role as is, as they're looking for somebody who is not only technical but also commercial (ie, can take a hand in the direction of the business). I think maybe they're looking for a Technical Director or something. However, they're starting to think they may need somebody who's purely responsible for development - separate out the Technical from the Director. They are meeting with business advisors or something this afternoon. They have also said that even if they don't find permanent employment for me they'd be interested in hiring me on a contract or ad-hoc basis, since Jez was impressed with my technical skills and liked me as a person.
So, you know, it's not something for which breath should be held, but there may be life in the old dog yet. If it's ... breathing. Or something.
In other news: I saw this and thought of me.
