Yes I am 100% Irish. I'm not moving there for work specifically, I met the woman of my dreams and she's currently in China so I said I'd go out there for a couple of years and through some contacts I managed to get an architecture role in a current vendor of my current companies which I'm going to do for a couple of years before we move back. There are metric tons of jobs here in Ireland.
You're very welcome, I really enjoyed the community it spawned. To be honest it was a big surprise and the community grew faster than we could manage it. Thanks goes out to all of the volunteers I had for administrating the website, the forums, the help files, without all of those people it wouldn't have worked. There were thousands of maps for zm, it's one of the proudest things I've done to date.

Who will compensate me for all the time I spent writing it? I didn't even have time to play it myself, but I did play a lot of BF2!

It was worse than the military being honest, not finding out you're working until a few hours before a shift. Being sent on your "day off" at very short notice because some other guy didn't turn up, being just a number etc.
The experience was worth it though, and I made some life long close friends. The money is more than enough to live on here if one were to take that path.
I will not be answering any more calls, the agents take 75% of the money that the talent should get and I returned to my previous career in software engineering. I have heard accounts of people who have acted in major roles in movies here being told in the UK it's not worth anything and they need to start at the ground floor again if they were to move home.

Roast it! Roast it with onion and carrots inside, garlic between the layer of skin and the meat and salt on the skin to taste. You'll never cook chicken any other way again.
