So I'm on vacation but the blog posts will keep on trundling along. This leaves the somewhat strange possibility that I died in a horrible auto wreck with a moose on the Trans-Canada Highway (not to be confused with the Trans-Canadian Water Slide). But to all intents I'm still alive ...

This has nothing, and I mean nothing, to do with software...
The Susan and I have been watching a lot of Battlestar Galactica (BsG) season three recently. She bought it for my birthday and we've been working our way through it. In BsG the pilots call each other by their callsigns; ...

I've been playing with Twitter for the last couple of weeks. All in all it's been pretty interesting. I've synced up with a few people I've not seen in a long time and learnt a few things along the way. I've also had to trawl through a lot of... crap.

I feel of all the *DD movements this one has the best chance of succeeding. Largely because unlike Test or Behavior Driven Development this requires people to only remember one letter, 'D'. It's also what a lot of people are doing already.

Oddly enough I didn't make the eWeek's list of the 25 most influential people at Microsoft or their influencers on the rise list. Its interesting reading and makes me give serious consideration to the picture on my homepage. Maybe I should wear a suit and tie? Maybe I should change ...

So a quick visit to the Microsoft Company Store the other evening to buy something quite dull resulted in me coming home with Gears of War and a Microsoft SideWinder Gaming Mouse. The mouse is working out just fine thanks. Nice and heavy custom weighting and extra buttons that you ...
