Woohoo! Simon is now officially a Yahoo. This has been in the works for a while and I found out it was a done deal when I ran into him on campus yesterday.
That reminds me of a picture I snapped on the day of his interview...
He's gonna be playing with the Flickr team for a while. How could he turn down a job like that? :-)
Since he's going to be working mostly in London, I guess I'll have to head across the pond again to visit. That wouldn't take much arm twisting. I had a good time when I was there for OpenTech.

So Yahoo! has development staff working in Europe? I didn't know that. Good to know!
That's excellent news for Simon as Yahoo! is a winning company
Yahoo has had an engineering office in London since at least early 1997. Paris, too. There were a half dozen other engineering offices scattered around Western Europe over the years, but some may have been consolidated in the big bubble burst...
Looks like he needs to get to work ASAP.

Flickr is having a massage.
Flickr is closed for emergency maintenance - sorry about that.

Congrats, Simon! Remember where you came from (Sitepoint)! ;)
