Once upon a time there was a boy called Jack. We all know the story of how he swapped a cow for three magic beans, how his mother threw the beans out of the window and a beanstalk grew. And everyone knows how Jack climbed up the beanstalk “to bravely rid the world of a
Next week, along with a host of other great speakers and enthusiastic attendees, I will be attending UKLUG in Manchester. This promises to be a remarkable event, if for no other reason but that forecasts say it won’t be raining all the time. (If you haven’t heard the song, take a look at the lyrics
