I used to work for Autonomy. I have no sympathy for them.
My little article is here
After Autonomy's lawyers bullied me and anyone who supported me to take my article off line. I eventually lost my net access after Autonomy complained to BT, my ISP; they never issued an explanation or apology but still took money from my account. It took years and a letter to the BT chairman before I got a refund.
The article was originally subtitled "Stress Is More Fun" but seems to have got lost; if you read the article, you'll find out why it had this moniker. To find out what others think, look at Glassdoor

....that the person who is supposed to have originally pointed the finger at McAlpine is a notorious liar; see here. Didn't the BBC do any checks or were they simple after any scandal?

They must think we're imbeciles. The document has his name on it!

...by greed and commercialism. Lord Seb Coe, the head of Locog who oversee our Olympic effort, said in an interview that you wouldn't be allowed in to the Olympic park if you wore a T-shirt with the Pepsi logo on it. Of course, Coke is one of the official sponsors.

Soon after, Coe backpedalled so rapidly that if he was seated backwards on a bike he'd win a gold medal in cycling.

My own book ("The Titanic and the Indifferent Stranger: The Complete Story of the Titanic and the Californian") mentions Amazon (that is, the vendor, not the rain forest) in the main text at least once and its been on the apple iBookstore for many months now.

In case anyone asks, the "success" of my book venture was relative; it kept my mind active, people liked it, but it certainly hasn't paid for itself. I did it because the only other option was to get despondent and then find recourse in the unthinkable.

After leaving University in 1997 I was employed for 10 years before finally being forced to take a sabbatical due to workplace bullying damaging my mental health. I took the time out to write a book, and the success of that one has prompted me to write a second one, which is due out soon.
It wasn't my planned career goal. I have been trying for many years now to re-enter the workplace and I would be willing to do anything, from data input to development to straightforward admin; and most people won't even look at my CV - perhaps because I have reached that magic age (40) where long-term unemployment becomes an inevitability. I hardly ever receive an acknowledgement for my CV, but have noticed some small recognition after someone suggested that I write a more conversational resume to make it stand out. I try to maintain an active interest in the latest technology and often indulge in small projects to keep my programming edge, but beggers truly can't be choosers, and I'd settle for any employment.
Because I left my last job, I get no Job Seekers Allowance, and we get a token £5 reduction in our £100+ council tax. Also because my wife works we get little support from anyone - even though, despite working for a major multinational bank and is the recognised top performing employee for this region, she gets paid peanuts.
I have written to every benefits agency I can think of, and have even tried my MP (Andrew Lansley) but they won't/can't help. Its almost as if the Government is happy to take money off people but when it comes to dispensing support they all turn their backs.
I am overwhelmed with guilt as my parents, both pensioners, help us with our rent each month to the tune of £500 (our rent is £700, we can't afford to move or put our stuff into storage so we're in a no-win situation); all we get is £100 in benefits and we make up the balance meaning that we often go to bed hungry.
So good luck to anyone who thinks we live in a society that cares for its down-trodden citizens. Once you're on the road to penury there is little chance of escape.

On a peripheral matter, online dating does work. I met my wife on Love@Lycos in 2003, she moved in two years later, married in 2007 and we're still together.

The thing about that website is that it was free; others have left a very bad impression, the worst one being match.com . I don't know if it has changed since then, but about 1999 I put my details on their site and got an interested email a few hours later. Of course, I couldn't reply, as you had to pay for membership before you could contact anyone. So I paid £5 for a month's subscription and messaged back. I got no reply. I think it was just an automated match.com robot designed to suck in the desperate into paying up. A little while later, I created a sock puppet account with the most repulsive details I could imagine. I got a couple of messages from people who said they were interested and wanted to know more. In my mind, proof that match.com would do anything to make you part with your money. I didn't and it put me off dating sites until a few years later when I happened to read a newspaper article which rekindled my interest.

You could adopt the British Broadcasting Corporations approach to valuable archival holdings c.1972: thrown everything into a furnace.

An idea for a 404 page was to have a scene from "The Naked Gun", either the bit where Drebin is standing in front of the exploding fireworks factory, saying "Move along, nothing to see here", or the bit earlier on where him and the chief go to the scene of Norberg's shooting, and a cop with a megaphone is saying the same thing to two people at the quayside. Well, if I don't do it, it might give someone an idea to do so... ;)
