Process.1
I absolutely love the idea of dogfooding; of having developers use the product their developing on a day-to-day basis. In fact, I can’t see how any developer who’s been through a tough roll-out to users can think otherwise - there are bugs you’ll never find until you start to actually use the product.
That said, […]

News
Just another example of the current administration’s hypocrisy regarding state’s rights. The states can decide things for themselves as long as they follow the policies of the administration (either spoken or unspoken).
To be fair, past administrations pursued this form of drug war as well. They just weren’t as hypocritical of the states rights […]

IT Conversations Wiki - Main.BusinessModel
Doug Kaye is requesting comments on models to make IT Conversations self-sustaining. If you have valuable input, please go there and give him some advice.

activeRenderer News: ““
activeRenderer is a very cool plug-in for Radio UserLand that uses OPML to generate expanding lists in dynamic html. Very neat application of OPML technology. If I ever get serious about building the OPML browser editor I’m thinking about building then I received Marc’s permission to model my html after what […]

Starbucks Does Not Use Two-Phase Commit - Enterprise Integration Patterns
Interesting application of database and error correction procedures to a real-world scenario. This kind of thing would be a great starting point for a project analogy, or to explain to non-programmers the kinds of things that need to be considered in a specific processing model.
Also […]

Feedster :: RSS Search EngineNo posts today - something frelled my feedster account and I was getting apparently random posts to the screen. I tried to separate the wheat from the chaff, but had to give up after a while. I’m convinced I had subscribed recently to a bogus feed of some sort, […]
