The application of technology in my professional life is informed by the use of architectural practices – such perspectives help to ensure that, particularly on large transformational initiatives, you can trace the business needs and decisions through to specific technical decisions. This isn’t documentation for the sake of it, but enough to communicate well-thought-out strategies to enable effective communication and continuity of understanding within an organization. But to be a technical architect means you need to be able to get your hands dirty and be able to create proof of concepts and understand the practicalities of implementing a technical strategy.

good evolution of the characters, but as a crime story a bit too obvious

Good character story, particularly if you've read the previous books and are invested in the characters., But as a who did it, a bit obvious.

Will be interesting to see how the c

“What came first – the music or the misery? Did I listen to the music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to the music? Do all those records turn you into a melancholy person?”
Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

“It's brilliant, being depressed; you can behave as badly as you like.”

“…I've had a bad week."
What's happened?"
Nothing's happened. I've had a bad week in my head, is all.”
Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

“I lost the plot for a while then. And I lost the subplot, the script, the soundtrack, the intermission, my popcorn, the credits, and the exit sign.”
Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

Nick Hornby
“Have you got any soul?" a woman asks the next afternoon. That depends, I feel like saying; some days yes, some days no. A few days ago I was right out; now I've got loads, too much, more than I can handle.

I can see she wouldn't be interested in my internal stock control problems though, so I simply point to where I keep the soul I have, right by the exit, just next to the blues.”
Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

E.W. Butcher Hi Phil, hope all is good?
Looks like you're getting through quite a fews books ...
Have you had a chance to take look at my novel or short story yet ...?
Missing in Action
Countdown to Zero
If you have, just wondering what you thought of them ...

... and if you ever grab a hardcopy of "Missing in Action", I'm more than happy to sign it for you ...

Cheers
Eric
