That'll be why I've never heard of it then.......

Maybe you knew it as this?



as found in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Dobb's_Journal

More likeley I knew it as "The Beano"

There was a time, long long ago, when I could understand some of the things they wrote about in that...

Looks like you got one step further than I did then.

I always preferred Computer Weekly. Mainly cos they had DPM's Diary on the back page.

Real geeks read "Dr Dobbs Journal".

I even have a free subscription to the paper copy

But linking to that is a little more tricky.

I was subscribed to the paper copy of Computing for years, but got bored of it. So last subscription time I ignored the request to do an Internet survey for annual renewal. Some while later they phoned me up and asked me the same sort of questions as in the web questionaire, but instead of telling porkies about sharing it with 4 other people, I buy stuff etc, I stayed honest. It stopped coming for a few months but has now started arriving again.

Didn't say tricky, said "a little more tricky"

I have my geek points now and I'm keeping them!

“Top-quality contractors will always find work, but there will now be increased pressure for them to demonstrate how good they are through recognised, independent qualifications. Contractors tend to be cut before permanent staff and those not keeping up with the latest demands for skills could find themselves out in the cold.
