Damn, I didn't apply to Ableton this year because I thought with the recession they wouldn't be hiring. Now I'm doing a PhD instead. I guess I have to hope they still want people in 3 years time

Do you guys need someone to sweep the floors? I'm willing to relocate.

We've already been down that route, ended with a few guys obsessing about a certain abe staff member, and one of the few deleted threads on this forum.

I'd love to start an Australian programming office for you! Subversion+SSH should do the trick? I'll even buy my own big exercise ball so it's almost like being there.

I hope you guys are paying Henke a performance royalty each time that clip is aired. I'd put money on that FM'd ping pong background dingle jingle being his.

Why didn't I had the patience to learn to program.

Then I would program for Ableton and at home I would make really good expensive Iphone apps.

Nice one,
thank you Abes.
