  1. new blog post: Mangile process for managing lots of small projects, e.g. doing maintenance work in lean agile way. http://bit.ly/4xKm6W
  2. @jamierumbelow its response.redirect(www.firefox.com) he he! Or, ie8.js, cheers, Alan
  3. RT @laribee: Being productive using the e text editor as an alternative to Visual Studio on an MVC project.
  4. @ronniebarker SharpSvn sounds like a hackday type topic for altnetbeers? / (BDD) beerdriven development as @BookSwapSteve likes 2 call it!
  5. "Agile is just a lots of tiny waterfall projects" ...overheard in my office today. Very cool! I totally agree.
  6. I think fogbugz is going to be perfect! Can simply say "working on" with no time to fill in (all auto)
  7. Busy investigating #fogbugz (with Kanban plugin) to see if it can be used effectively without timesheets.
  8. @ronniebarker Board just shows testers (1 for now) is backlogged and action is needed. Limits r not relevant to the point I was making.
  9. @dylanbeattie How was avatar? Compared to ...say... district 9?
  10. @ronniebarker It's always an order of magnitude easier to resource a temporary tester than a temporary developer. Resist using dev 2 test!
  11. @ronniebarker Agreed. The point is that the scrumwall quickly shows that resourcing needs to be looked at, how u solve is different issue.
  12. Here's a photograph of my team's scrumwall. I can see #atAGlance that I need to resource another tester. http://bit.ly/5tfhb6
  13. @ryansroberts I fought 2 get my client to use SVN +team city instead of VS Team system because SVN & TC is what the devs will use at home.
  14. @ryansroberts It's tempting to start learning Ruby on Rails just so that I can have a fully integrated mature "stack" handed 2 me on plate!
  15. Just posted a blog with sample code "Simple way to parse Entity Framework edmx files" http://bit.ly/7gHbtB #T4 #EntityFramework
  16. Working with T4 templates is maddening, sometimes I totally get why they're brilliant, most of the time I think they're just bloody stupid.
  17. The type or namespace 'Data' does not exist in the namespace System". System.Data definately referenced... WTF! #FUMING
  18. @ryansroberts yup! Large enterprise projects have sufficient time in the projects 2 get a really good return via constant refactoring.
  19. How can you master enterprise design patterns, if 95% of your effort is in configuration of the tools and frameworks and 5% coding? #Fail
  20. Microsoft dev using a gazillion changing open source projects is becoming as fucked up as Java. RoR looking very appealing to me at the mo!
