| 08:52.46 | Armand | Sometimes I do, if I have nothing else to do. |
| 08:56.19 | Armand | Of course, the client does need to purchase a renewal.. |

| 13:21.41 | dick_turpin | It's |

| 13:22.53 | gregj | :p |
| 13:25.31 | Armand | That reminds me.. I must read up on the spousal visa applications. |
| 13:26.40 | dick_turpin | No wonder we have a housing crisis |
| 13:26.44 | dick_turpin | :-P |
| 13:27.07 | Armand | I rent, so... |
| 13:29.07 | dick_turpin | Gasp! So it's you holding up house sales with your selfish renting practices. |
| 13:29.42 | Armand | Fuckin' ehh! :D |
| 13:30.05 | Armand | I currently pay £450/pm and £0 for travel. :) |
| 13:30.23 | Armand | Can't argue with a 10 minute walk to the office. |
| 13:33.52 | dick_turpin | £450 a month? What are you living in, a burnt out Cortina half submerged in a puddle? |
| 13:33.59 | AndyMillar | that's pretty cheap |
| 13:36.21 | Armand | A single room, in a shared house.. Not ideal, but it's cheap enough. |
| 13:36.31 | Armand | I'll have to move when Kay comes over. |
| 13:38.42 | dick_turpin | You must be 50 mile outside of London as that price would get you every other day in a wastepaper basket in inner London so my sources tell me. |
| 13:39.04 | AndyMillar | ah, that'd explain it |
| 13:39.42 | Armand | Slough |
| 13:48.41 | dick_turpin | Blimey you should get a discount for Slough |
| 13:58.42 | cbz | Lots of demand in slough tbh |
| 14:00.19 | Armand | Yuh huh.. Quite a few IT companies here, especially hosting/server providers. |
| 14:00.58 | Armand | We're right in there, on the trading estate |
| 14:14.08 | Leeds | Armand: for what it's worth, I've heard bad things about the hassle - and price - of spousal visas nowadays... |
| 14:14.35 | Armand | Quite aware of the hassle.. We're lucky that I'm a hoarder. :P |
| 14:15.03 | Armand | The cost isn't phenomenal, but our biggest concern was my pay level. |
| 14:15.38 | Leeds | I'd put that under hassle, but yeah |
| 14:16.01 | Armand | Thankfully, I got promoted. :D |
| 14:16.03 | Leeds | welcome to Farage's Britain |
| 14:16.40 | Armand | If he puts ANYTHING in place that blocks her moving here, he's asking for trouble. |
| 14:17.37 | Armand | She's a US-citizen, so I don't see that there would be any major complications. |
| 14:18.23 | Leeds | I suspect that'll be a lot easier than the specific case I've heard about, which was a Filipina |
| 14:19.27 | Armand | Yuh huh.. I hope we won't have any problems. |
| 14:19.41 | Leeds | good luck :) |
| 14:19.48 | Armand | Thank you. :) |
| 14:20.25 | Armand | Question.. What should an entry level, Junior SysAdmin expect to earn? |
| 14:20.42 | AndyMillar | where? |
| 14:20.53 | AndyMillar | what location, what business sector? |
| 14:21.02 | Armand | Slough, Web-hosting. |
| 14:21.04 | Armand | lol |
| 14:21.15 | AndyMillar | 28-25k |
| 14:21.19 | AndyMillar | if I had to guess |
| 14:21.25 | AndyMillar | erm |
| 14:21.29 | AndyMillar | 18-25k |
| 14:21.50 | Armand | Ok.. Still learning the ropes.. I have little practical experience, but I'm a great learner. |
| 14:22.37 | AndyMillar | if you went into something more in the financial sector, I'd knock the upper end up to 35k |
| 14:24.35 | AndyMillar | Armand: define still learning the ropes |
| 14:25.21 | Armand | I've been working as a Support tech for 14 months, so I'm reasonably familiar with CPanel servers but not so much on the SysAdmin side. |
| 14:26.17 | Armand | Those 14 months focused on moving & fixing sites, password resets, database corrections, finding exploited mailboxes, etc, etc.. |
| 14:26.40 | AndyMillar | comfortable ssh'ing into servers? could you install apache/php/mysql and get a website up and running? |
| 14:26.52 | Armand | SSH = easy.. installing services, not so much. |
| 14:27.09 | Armand | Thankfully, that's normally all in place with our servers. |
| 14:27.23 | AndyMillar | yeah - cpanel does all the magic for you |
| 14:27.30 | Armand | Yep. :) |
| 14:28.03 | Armand | Everything is pre-installed, essentially.. We just tailor the individual servers/VDSs |
| 14:28.33 | AndyMillar | if you want to get into the sysadmin side of things, I'd at least read one of the basic RHCE course books and have a play |
| 14:29.00 | Armand | I intend to, but we're handling most things on-the-job at the moment. |
| 14:30.15 | AndyMillar | you don't actually need to do an exam (though that'll make you more qualified than anyone on my team at the moment if you do ;)) but it'll mean you've got a clue about what you're talking about ;) |
| 14:31.10 | Armand | I do want to get my certs, but there's no requirement for me to do so. |
| 14:33.15 | Armand | Currently I only hold a CompTIA A+, dated July 2010. :P |
| 14:37.33 | dick_turpin | AndyMillar: Can I just turn up at your place with my books? http://www.cannon-linux.co.uk/tag/books/ :-) |
