Hi,

I tried contacting you via email (your @sociomantic adress) last weekend and I've been trying to talk to you on IRC a couple of time over the last week (on your Nicks M4renz and Marenz), but never got a reply to my questions, which is why I will ask here now:

Do you also provide internships for BSc students of computer science ("Informatik") in Berlin? We are required to complete one ("Berufspraktikum") and I'd like to know if it would be possible to do so at Sociomantic Labs.

Regards,
  Moritz

Does that imply only people living near to Berlin should apply? If not, what does Sociomantic offer for people living abroad, e.g. perhaps some kind of rent financing?

properly not, as long as our a citizen of the European Union working in Berlin/Germany is easy, just move there. any other country, I'm not sure.

How can one still program in D1? ;)

Hehe, that's what I did. For
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KR580VM80A, an i8080 replica. Actually, I managed to write my first working assembly program by POKEing machine codes form BASIC. The machine didn't have a display, so I was entering the commands by touch. Unforgettable experience.

I'll forward this question to HR ;) (I was relocating from another EU country and it was just matter of buying a plane ticket)

Not very convenient but still better than C++ ;)

Oh no, you linked the French Wikipedia, now Walter will never find out that it is a grining face with closed eyes.

I looked at Gorillaz QBasic code when my father bought our first computer (286 PC without FPU, FPUs were out). So I started there, and look, I could still learn other imperative languages like D, Delphi or C++. Just not LISP or Haskell.

Definitely not! Most of our programmers were not living in Berlin when they applied.

Our team is *very* international, with about thirty nationalities represented.
We have a lot of experience with relocation. It's completely normal for us.
