A couple of months ago when I had just finalised a move to a permanent position, I was completely jack of talking to recruiters. They would call me at all hours of the working day and I wanted a way to easily ignore them.</p> <p>In a brainwave I found a simple, fairly elegant solution. I created a contact in my phone named <em>Recruiter</em>. I was thinking of much less savoury things to call them, but I didn’t really want those words splashed across my iPhone screen. Then, every time I’ve had a call from a recruiter since, I add their number to my <em>Recruiter</em> contact.</p> <p>The result? Every time a recruiter calls and they haven’t blocked their number (I often don’t answer blocked numbers anyway) I can quickly see that from the word <em>Recruiter</em> on the iPhone display and reject the call. Boom.</p> <p>The next trick is to stop them from leaving voicemails…</p>http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/16055181950http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/16055181950Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:18:54 +1100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxj6eqQ1ET1qzrsejo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Oh, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moot_pointer/6666398417/in/photostream/">Ando</a>!</p>http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/15598641961http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/15598641961Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:26:06 +1100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxj6drTlvW1qzrsejo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moot_pointer/6666401135/in/photostream/">Chris</a>, recently back from Nepal was looking suave as ever.</p>http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/15592332294http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/15592332294Tue, 10 Jan 2012 11:37:06 +1100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxj6btM9Gl1qzrsejo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moot_pointer/6666404451/in/photostream/">The Groom</a> showed off his brand new piece of jewellery for me.</p>http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/15586018371http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/15586018371Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:48:06 +1100<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxj6abcHtT1qzrsejo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Is it any wonder that <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moot_pointer/6666409523/in/photostream">Jimmy</a> is quite the wanted man?</p>http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/15563744921http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/15563744921Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:20:35 +1100<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gqG4oSfQYIY?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Anyone who gets kids excited about playing music should be knighted.</p>http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/15536862255http://tumblog.mootpointer.com/post/15536862255Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:57:38 +1100<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx84jqybk91qzrsejo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2>i.
