Custom Programming – There are some information processing tasks that the human brain can do better than a computer, but there are many tasks that some clever programming can do for us. An examples of the type of programming I have done was to gather data from separate long lists, each in different formats, and extract the information that appeared in all three lists where there was a common element. My client told me this saved him days of tedious work.
