The world during 2026….

Increasing division, bad news, AI job replacement, economic gloom... How to cheer yourself up without turning to drink, drugs or rock’n’roll (if you haven’t already that is). We all know that too much blue screen light is bad for your sleep, too much doom scrolling, negative news, divisive social media content are all bad for your mental well-being and excessive screen time ruins your physical health.

A Trade Show?

We felt that the time was right. For too long we have sat behind our desks, screens and keyboards. We decided it was time to go out and meet people, real people, in the flesh and talk about what we do and how we might be able to help their businesses grow and prosper. Next week on the 18th September we will have a small stand at the…

Low Code/No Code? Part 1

Huh?What is "Low Code" or "No Code"? Is it useful? What does it do for me?
