LornaJane Moo Cards
Friday, February 8. 2008
Whenever I attend a conference or other geeky gathering (GeekUp for example) I'm often asked for my card ... but I don't have one. I don't have work business cards, because only sales people need those, and I don't have personal ones because I don't freelance (or not usually).

So if you see me around, and you'd like my card, try asking me again if I have one :)

I’ve never really had the experienc e of a shared office, but I do use Skype a lot, sometimes ta lking with work mates for hours at a time. The trick i [...]
