Visual Basic 6 Programmer For Hire
A couple of times recently, I’ve met people, who have said that my skills in Visual Basic 6 may still be needed, because in the City of London, there are still a lot of important systems written in the language. Hence this post, which is almost an advert to say that I’m looking for work.
At my age and with my hopefully sensible finances, I don’t need a permanent job, but old programmers never give up coding, even if they just do it in their mind. Living alone, I have plenty of time on my hands to spend with my therapist, but sometimes I feel I need to do something constructive. Even if it’s just to prove I still can!
So if anybody is in trouble and needs a good Visual Basic 6 programmer who still has most of his marbles, I’m here just north of the City of London, a short bus ride away.
On the legal side, I have complete sets of discs and manuals, so I would not be working outside of any licences.

Old programmers never die, they just lose their bits!
You could try an agency. With a decent broadband and a VPN connection, working remotely is a real option. Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone still working in VB6, but as you say there must be many. There are still those who have legacy Cobol software they use, and Cobol programmers are at a premium.

I’d rather get something through a friend, as that way I know who I’m dealing with. But first I’m sorting the house and my body out. I’ve now got allsorts of pain in my left humerus and you know why that is. If you ever see the bastard who broke my arm, give him an earfull.
I also still haven’t got my network sorted and that ewould help, as I want to write some software for the Iconia.
