Intranet Detective

摘要

You have to feel sorry for my wife Cynthia. Ever since we first met in 1971 her response to inquiries about what her boyfriend/fiancee/husband does for a living has been, "He's an information scientist." That tends to stop any conversation dead in its tracks as the questioner conjures up an image of a white-coated scientist studying information. Much of my career has been in electronic publishing, but how do you expand on "He's in electronic publishing" over a dry martini? Now that I am an intranet consultant the problem gets even worse.
