You come ready for a fight. A switchblade in a boot. A length of chain casually deposited in a briefcase. A pry bar hidden under a raincoat. After all, few settings are more deadly, more provocative, more ready to explode into a riot than a committee called for the purpose of redesigning a website.
One of the reasons that I really enjoy reading Computer is the regular column from David Alan Grier of the George Washington University. The above came from Volume 42 Number 6 (May 2009) and continues to describe the in-fighting that ensues when "finance" finds that "human resources" has more pages and/or a direct link to the home page.
David is the author of two books., When Computers Were Human and Too Soon to Tell, neither of which I've read but am intending to find the time to do so.
Find? Time? No way. And you can’t make it either you just have to use the 86,400 seconds you are given each day to the best of your ability.
The best of my ability at the moment says "go and find a cup of coffee" before tackling any more reading.
