Re: Wrote my own static blog thingy

Good feature request. If it's possible to fork a public repo to a private repo, that is probably a decent workaround until they fix it? Or not pushing your private branches.

Hmm, that sounds like a great idea. I think I heard of people doing that before, it seems to be a successful model.

Seriously - I am planning on doing it, but I will probably keep two repos going, one public for published stuff and one private where I will keep the drafts. Github feature request: private branches.

I would like to read this code. I might wish to contribute to it. If only it were available somewhere publicly.

Challenge accepted.

I already routinely recommend "Kitchen Stories", too.

I'd love to see that in a project proposal: "... then on Tuesday, we kick off the day by watching Metropolis.". "We what?". "We watch Metropolis. Standard stuff." "Oh, ok"

That makes me think of this question: "What else could we do to show you that we're really trying?"

I discussed this on Twitter yesterday. "It's unfair to us that they estimate for us, but we can't deliver quickly enough." Whether we over-promise out of a sense of duty or "they" (whoever) over-promise for us, I see the same problem: the people asking for software and the people building it just don't talk. I feel like making them sit through the film Metropolis.

I'm right there with you. But I have a feeling that people think an aggressive estimate means "they're really trying".

I'm one of the rare people who wants to be told bad news because it's accurate, rather than good news because it will shut me up. Perhaps, if more people reacted that way, we wouldn't see this effect.

Re: Marcus Ahnve - How To Fix Vagrant Up Hanging

Often this is due to mismatch between VB and the installed VB guest additions. There are also other things you can do when this happens - see http://theholyjava.wordpres...

I have actually switched to TaskWarrior - it's the only task system I've managed to stay with. As for on the run, I I write notes copying the output of `task ls +errand`. But they are planning to support Remember The Milk as a backend.

I know it's a really old post but Im trying to get into the habit of thanking for useful information when I find it where the option is available.

So. Thanks for this gem (no pun intended). Being a pretty new mac user I didn't know that the button that looks like a powerbutton was in fact the escape key :)

Agree with Thomas. This is driving me crazy, 1,5 years after your post. How did you solve it?

Re: Words don’t come easy: MoSCoW and BDD

Måns Sandström — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 10:53:30 -0000

The reason for the mix of should and test, in this case, was due to the fact that not all code was written when pairing and some people simply felt more comfortable using test in the beginning of the project (probably due to previous JUnit 3 experience). Old habits die hard. However I think that some of the tests/designs could have been written after the fact.

Re: Words don’t come easy: MoSCoW and BDD

Mark Needham — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:51:12 -0000

Interesting idea - I guess there would be value in the Must, Should and Won't, not sure about the Could though, that would be very vague.

I suppose Won't is the opposite of Must but then it seems to close the discussion on whether or not the assertion made after the Must/Won't is actually valid. In the nuclear example you gave clearly that makes sense but the systems I've worked on at least aren't as clearcut and things that seem 'definite' can change, hence the value of the 'Should' idea.
