The diary of a female I.T consultant

I’ve not been in this consultancy business for long, but I have been a technical architect for some time. The difference with consultancy is that it seems even more cut throat in a highly competitive environment. Why? Because there are even more egos floating around that is desperate for attention. Before I begin, being a [...]

Book Review: Automatic Lover

Not so long ago I got sent Automatic Lover by it’s author Ariadne Tampion. She called it a steamy love story for geeks. Now one thing I will say before I go any further, this is not a book for young children. Personally I’d give it an over 16 age limit. The story line is [...]
