DCOMsoft have very kindly offered a free copy of the SWF Protector 2 software that I reviewed earlier today, to be given to the winner of some kind of competition. I’ve never held a competition on my blog before, so bear with me on this one. Ok, so…

The word “obfuscate”, as defined by Chambers Free English Dictionary, is:

1 to darken or obscure something.
2 to obscure something or make it difficult to understand.
3 to bewilder or confuse someone.

So, keeping with the theme, what’s the most bewildering or confusing thing that’s ever happened to you, or that you have ever inflicted on someone else? It can be on any subject – doesn’t need to be related to writing code or anything like that – and be no more than 500 words. It’s not an easy task, but then this prize is worth £40 so I don’t think I’m asking too much of you!

The best (most interesting or amusing) account by 12pm GMT on Monday the 12th of April gets a free copy of SWF Protector 2.

My girlfriend will be the judge, so you can be assured that the results will be totally fair and impartial. The judge’s decision is final and there are no cash alternatives to the prize. The winner will be announced right here.

My girlfriend, Nicola has recently decided to go it alone and has set up her own accounting services company in Burscough, Lancashire.

Harrison and Company offer accounting services at very competitive rates with a friendly and approachable manner, and they’re very flexible and happy to work in whatever way suits your business.

Nicola is very experienced. She joined her previous employer in August 2002 as a Trainee Accountant and successfully qualified in February 2006 with first time passes in all papers. She was made an Associate of the firm in April 2008 following her valued contribution and effort within the Practice and continued as Practice Manager until leaving the Practice last week.

She’s currently running an introductory discount that makes her pricing even more attractive than usual, but you’d best be quick if you want to take advantage of it as places are limited!
