A lot of criticism has been aimed at venture capitalists the last few days. The VCs are telling their portfolio companies to get ahead of the curve and conserve cash right now, and companies are starting to take their advice.
The criticism is coming from people who don’t understand that the world has changed in the last week and that companies need to change with it. And so they’re asking why VCs waited until now to tell everyone to conserve cash. Others are saying the boom is the V
I have now written a six part series on software community blogs. This has included some of our larger partners such as Oracle, TIBCO, and Software AG who maintain multiple blogs with a community. I also covered the Agile Commons blog by our partner, Rally. We have some other partners who have excellent individual blogs, or in the case of Infosys, a great collection of blogs. A list can be found in the right side of this blog. Here are three more of them.

Stephen Fry recently published an article on cloud computing. Like many others he got it completely wrong and was describing nothing more than what the Internet is. Cloud computing is not the second coming.

I knew, going into 2008, it was going to be a liminal year for me. And, boy howdy, has it proven true! This year, I:
had a book I co-wrote published
got married (twice!)
hired a CEO to steer the company I started
oversaw the largest event Adaptive Path ever delivered
had a child
and, as of yesterday
bought a house (in North Oakland)
Still to come this year is, I hope, the sale of my current house, market willing. (Know anyone who’d like a pleasant, cozy, 2BR home in South Berkeley? Let me
I was recently invited to keynote a prestigious conference in a European city. I agreed to speak but only on the condition that they cover my expenses. I didn't ask to be paid for my time, but after they said no, I realize I should have.
Here's why. I didn't have a product to pitch or have a company that could benefit from the PR. If I were in their shoes (and I have been) I would insist on covering expenses, otherwise the talks would just be advertisements. It seems analogous to asking a vendor
“A couple of years ago, I went into a big-box shoe store and bought a pair of sneakers. At the checkout counter, the cashier grabbed a can of that bogus silicone spray stores always try to up-sell you. It's supposed to make sneakers shiny and waterproof, but it doesn't seem to do anything.”

I've said a lot of times that I don't like scripting languages, and in fact all of my work is currently done in Java. I see it as perfectly fitting my needs, from JME to JEE, through the Desktop. But...
I have switched over to using TextMate for some of my experimentations with ActionScript. I like how lightweight it is, its extensibility, command completion functionality, and ease of setting up new projects. I find it is perfect for quickly testing new code and ideas.
I have put together a couple of bash scripts, which coupled with the ActionScript 3 and Flex TextMate bundles have made working in TextMate a little easier for me.
The first script is called autocompile, which takes a class file
The JavaScript language currently does not provide a good way to distinguish between objects and arrays. The typeof operator is broken: It identifies arrays as objects. Comparing a value's constructor property doesn't work because arrays created in a different frame will have a different constructor. There are do-it-yourself tests for arrayness, but they are complicated and unreliable. Mark Miller of The Google, by closely reading the ECMAScript standard, has discovered
From the press some of the initial iPhone apps have been getting, it seems that there are going to be quite a few Apple iPhone App Store millionaires this year ! So why not write your own and join the crowd ? Don't know Objective C or XCode - then get learning ! A nice resource is theiphonedevplace , which has many tutorial links now that Apple rescinded their NDA . So what you waiting for ? Get going - beat the credit crunch !
I am delighted to report that we have relaunched our Altova Online Training program today. We've used this hiatus of a few months to completely redesign our training program and incorporate all the feedback that we had received in the past. One of the key requests heard over and over again was that you wanted to be able to consume the training on your schedule and time, rather than having to sign up for a particular class and deal with available seats, time-zone issues, and fitting a 2-3h class

I've been to many interesting places, but nothing compares to my twenty-four hour visit to the USS John C. Stennis, an aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy. I hope that you enjoy these pictures and videos. I would be overjoyed if you spotted someone you know in one of them.
Incidentally, this is probably the longest posting in the history of blogging. It contains over 130 photos (I lost count) and five videos. You might question the wisdom of posting this many pictures. After all, I could create
One of the more obvious up-and-coming IT “best practices” is the area of “decision management” – as evangelised by James Taylor at Smart Enough Systems – which postulates that separating and managing decisions is as important as managing business processes. In a “conventional event processing” or synchronous SOA world, this means separate “decision services” invoked to make important decisions during automated processes, or prior to BPMN
Fred Brooks’s law of ‘adding manpower to a late software project makes it later‘ is one most of us have tried to prove wrong…….and failed!
I was at Agile 2008 and saw an interesting session, “Breaking Brooks’s Law” from Menlo Innovations, a Michigan based Java development company. They claimed to disprove this law and demonstrated their working environment and techniques that allowed them to do so.
Although the presentation was only 45 minutes, we
I laughed when I heard Sarah Palin say in last week's debate: “...and I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I'm going to talk straight to the American people and let them know my track record also” (this is straight from the CNN transcript). I laughed because it’s such overt “spin” to say you’re not going to answer what the moderator wants to hear. And, incidentally, it's exactly what the moderator wants to hear.But that’s beside the po

A couple of years ago my friend Kaushal Vyas blogged about his first marathon experience. His blog entry started with some quotes from Lance Armstrong on his first marathon:
“the hardest physical thing I have ever done. Even the worst days in the tours, nothing was as hard as that and nothing left me feeling the way I feel now in terms of sheer fatigue and soreness. I think I bit off more than I could chew, I thought the marathon would be easier…”.
It didn’t resonate with me at t
