Well, I looked for aberMUD. I found the manual but not the mud. I did
however find a nice-looking game where you peddle drugs and shoot policemen.
Sounds so antisocial it might even be fun.

I presume "here" is in Cardiff? I look in Swansea and can't find anything at
all. The best I've seen for weeks was one working with Shelter Cymru as a PC
Technician. I don't mind that as long as I don't have to fix PCs when there
are stinky tramps around. Could you let me know what you mean by low-paying
and where programming jibs might be? It's very spartan here.
