I am behind on reading my magazines but just started on my .net ones. One of the small news items that I saw was really interesting, so I thought I would share it here. The idea is that children go missing all the time and making use of the digital age the guys at notfound…
My last post was on Oct 9th and was full of plans and hope. that hasn’t come to pass as I am sure you are shocked to learn. Instead a combination of lack of planning (despite starting at a time that gave me plenty of time) not feeling 100% and other commitments I haven’t managed…
