A Bustle, A Corset, & The London Necropolis Express

hwms.coverartWe know the story.

Three women.

A London Office.

A missing colleague.

And a pandemic.

Three women wake one morning to discover that a colleague has vanished in the night. Gone. Poof. Not a bit of a trace.

The clue to the story lies in a play that has just opened in a London Theatre. The missing colleague has vanished into the world of that play and has become engaged in a grand debate about the roles of women in modern society.

But the three women in the office are not part of the debate. They are earning a living. They are caring for family. They trying to decide what they need to do today in order to be ready for tomorrow, while worrying about their friend.

A play about the world of George Bernard Shaw and Karl Pearson that takes no guff fro either.

Programs and Cooking

hwms.coverart Is programming a skill unique to itself or can we learn some fundamental lessons from other fields. Cooking perhaps. In this episode, the podcast goes to one of its favorite restaurants – Washington DC’s Green Rice and Natto – to create an episode that looks at the different kinds of skills you need as a programmer. We also learn about the Pepperoni Bento Box, which seems to be a unique blend of cuisines. [17225] Cast:

The Knowledge Engineered Boyfriend

hwms.coverart So what’s so bad about Knowledge Engineering? You’re just systematizing what your company knows. Just trying to bring some order to the chaos of the corporate world. However, it always requires a compromise. Squeezing a 7 and a half foot into a 6 and a half Louboutin, as Anna would say. In no situation are the problems of the knowledge engineered boyfriend. To ask the question of the ages, it is better to be a 70% with a 20% probability or a 20% boyfriend with a 70% probability. [17230] Cast:
