  Software development magazine: UML, Agile, programming, testing, project management, jobs

   » ‎ Joanna's Ramblings
  Agility is closely related to the Wolf Credo. I shit you not… this is in an article on Agile (below).  They are proposing Agile methods here.  Which is often code for running around with your hands in the air screaming “AIIEEEEE!!!”.  Which may be because of the wolves? via Software development magazine: UML, Agile, programming, testing, project [...]

  Lest auld acquaintances be forgot

  I’ve just attended an end of year staff function at the place where I worked for nine years in the 1990’s. It was good to catch up with former colleagues in a social setting. The icing on the cake was that the end of year function also incorporated a farewell to a [...]

  lavender from the garden Originally uploaded by jojof This is my last day in this desk. We’re moving 11 floors up. Oh joy. I brought in some lavender as it’s looking fantastic at the moment. It’s nodding in the breeze that blows across my desk. Perhaps my new desk won’t have a breeze. New [...]

  Four Holidays

  Four Christmases Poster by Cine Fanatico
  

  Last night Nicky and I went out to the movies. We were looking for something simple, cheerful and uncomplicated and Four Holidays seemed just right.

  It turned out to be pretty broad and I am a little baffled by any film where you are meant to dislike every single character. But, having said that, it was light and amusing in spots so it was just fine for what we wanted.

  Lesson for the day - sometimes it’s just nice to get out and about together.

  due process

   » ‎ Suburban Hen Goes Beta
  The job interview was today. While I have no idea if I 'did well', or if I think I will be hired, I am happy that I made it to interview. Not stupid and all that. The interview was done in the modern panel style (two people, 1 male, 1 female), and they asked those kinds of progressive questions like 'Tell us about a time when you had to deal with a customer who might have been angry. How did you deal with this situation?' and 'What do you think you would like about working as an AA for *insert name of government body here*?'.
  While I understand why large organisations interview candidates in this style, I don't enjoy it. Clearly, interviews are not necessarily something that you are actually supposed to enjoy, but I find dwelling on how I dealt with negative situations quite challenging. For starters, I genuinely don't remember actual incidents all that well. Who said what. How the incident began. Why on earth I was involved in the first place. And not having a memory for these things isn't conducive to being able to answer these questions well, or even particularly logically.
  I made persistant reference throught the interview to team work, listening, communication and blah, blah, blah. So perhaps that will be enough.

  nesting Originally uploaded by jojof i thought the yahoos who kicked the fence were indulging in some weird vandalism by putting twigs up on the meter box. However it turns out that the early stages of a blackbird nest are basically “dump stuff on the site”. Spose this is what you get when you chop down all [...]

  Pretty soon I should have plenty to write about. It will be my turn to be a ‘real’ auntie. Today I bought my first real present for the little fella who is due just under two weeks away. And last Sunday I got to hold a real pregnant belly and feel that life must be [...]

  I love it… keep up those reports Finn. It’s pretty safe to say it is hot up here in Sydney every day. Have a great holiday and good luck at big school! I can’t wait to hear all about it.

   » ‎ Comments for Mark O'Meara: the blog

  good luck with the weight… glad to see it’s coming off. i remember when we all did the csiro thing a few summers back.

  while i didn’t stick with it, even for the whole 12 weeks, i’m locked into the wholegrain thing and try to stick to 3 serves a day. habits are good to form.

  and i listen right to the end… very funny.

  The written word

   » ‎ Sarah G
  They say you should just write. Write, write, write. I’ve been enjoying Facebook for the catch ups, but there’s just no writing involved. I saw on Nicki’s blog that she felt the same about Twitter. I’m not really sure what twitter is or what it does yet… I guess it populates a bunch of different [...]
