    Someone called Aaron Quigley is advertising their "summer school" on the DCU and UCD boards:

    This person was banned, presumably for advertising, and has now registered a new account to continue their spamming.

    imho I don't think it's advertising spam. He is just making people aware that there are positions available to current college IT students. It's not for a summer school per se. The people taken on are actually paid and get some valuable project work experience.

    Obviously the best place to make potential applicants aware of this is in the college forums such as DCU, UCD etc.

    Admittly he prob went over board on the amount of posts that got him his first banning and has re registered a second account.

    But I wouldn't put his posts in the same category as Phone Expo spam.

    my 2 cents.

    Good question - I have a good bit more spare time at the moment so I've started coming up with ideas for challenges. If I can peces together about 10 practical challenges then it'll be all go. I'll work on it over the weekend and I'll have a better idea how long it'll take, already have a couple of interesting ideas lined up!
