Good things come in small packages
This week we concentrate on reviewing four-word stories, the 20/20 cricket of the short story format.
Phillip Gee at Advanced Processing takes us back to the fundamentals of his life in IT support in a story that is unafraid to ask the core question at the heart of any request for support. We refer of course to his work: “Is it plugged in?”
Meanwhile, we have been criticised in the past for not giving sufficient weight to the intellectuals among you. We’d like it on record that this is certainly not the case.
Indeed, one of the best four-word IT stories we read this week – right to the end, in one sitting and without mouthing the words – came from noted wordsmith Don Spurr at United Biscuits, with his seminal work of helpdesk advice philosophy: “It’s intuitively obvious”.
