I used to work with a chap whose first act every day, upon sitting at his desk and turning on his PC, was to check the obituaries column in the Times online. A morbid hobby, but apparently a very intesresting one. These days I suspect that he would be better served by the ever fantastic Wikipedia which has, I discovered today, a recent deaths section.
Anything you could possibly want is on that site, with the possible exception of how to calculate and store sub-contractor retentions on supplier invoices. But that’s my problem and not yours, so take a look and don’t drown in the seas of knowledge you find there.
