The Dream Team Nightmare– Books Week 5

2014-03-31T08:31:00.001+02:00

The Dream Team Nightmare: Boost Team Productivity Using Agile Techniques by Portia Tung.

Interesting way of spreading the knowledge of agile techniques. Follow the tale of the hired consultant in a semi-interactive way. What’s the next action? It’s up to you to choose the next action (chapter).

Lots of familiar situations and good descriptions of possible improvements.

Smiled a lot reading it, another hero to the rescue ;)

The Talent Code: Greatness isn't born. It's grown – Books Week 6

2014-03-31T08:29:00.001+02:00

Awesome book about how talent and skills are grown, literally. How come the South Korean ladies are dominating pro golf all of a sudden?

Follow the author to some of the “talent hotbeds” of the world. What’s their secret sauce? Does the “it takes 10 000 hours to become pro” still apply?

A must read!

2014-03-31T08:28:00.001+02:00

Interesting stuff about why/how people succeed.
It’s not all about talent is it?

Yet another site using Google App Engine was uploaded today.

This site will be a minimalistic Q and A site with the vision to be everything that http://www.experts-exchange.com is not.

No hiding of answers before signing up for an account
No banner to text ration over 10 ;)

But

Answers always next to the questions
Minimal amount of banners, text only from Google Adsense
Later on the the questions/answers page will show the authors own Adsense banners. Hopefully this will motivate people to write good questions and answers

Spotify Premium - One Month Later - A Short Review

2008-11-28T10:23:00.000+01:00

One month ago I signed up for a premium Spotify account. At work I use it more or less all the time. The possibility to change to whatever music you like at the moment is GREAT!

The UI need some improvements, but it's quick and the most important things is that the music streaming really works. I can't remember ANY downtime, and not that many records/artists I have searched for have not been found. Please Spotify, add Rammstein records will ya ;) not only their songs in compilations.

Like it, like it alot!

And finally, Spotify!! Please make me a iPhone beta tester ;)
