    lol. Well maybe he has invented a new design paradigm that the rest of us have yet to hear of. Maybe the school maths jotter grid is to assist the visually impaired.

    I think when reading up on grid systems he took it a tad too literally. :pac:

    I can't help feeling sorry for him though. With his skillset he probably did major work over the years, but once y2k and euro finished so was he.

    From being at the centre of super-important projects to the scrapheap, you can imagine the frustration and anger etc. but he's gone down a bad road now, even if it snags a few bob it won't bring back the glory days. That sort of thing is beneath him.

    That's what happens when you don't keep up to date with the industry. I know some great developers who just never caught on and end up with very limited options in terms of employment.

    Dude's probably an alcoholic also.

    although i do agree, gotta keep up to speed with technology. But with a software engineering degree, i can safely say that learning curve is not steep, ive picked up several different technologies for different projects over the years !

    Actually it was audited accounts she was asked about.

    I read an interview with her afterwards where she talked about her spot on Dragons Den. She said she had actually responded to the question explaining that as she was a partnership and not a ltd company she didn't have audited accounts, but apparently they kindly edited that bit out for drama.
