Highlander - The iPhone App
One of the lads that used to work for me, Andrew Deacon, started out as an IT Junior. He very soon declared he was too smart to spend his time sorting printer jams and installing software and declared he wanted to do programming.
He was right. He has since become an excellent enterprise programmer and has just released his first iPhone application:
He’s come a long way from the long haired ‘Connor McCloud’ lookalike (from the movie
Highlander) that descended on my office for an interview not once but twice - after being told not to re-apply.
He did re-apply and got the job thanks mainly to another employee of mine at the time, Mike Haycox, who saw through the long hair, leather jacket and cocky attitude to the intelligent, reliable and loyal employee beneath.
Well done Connor ![]()
