Are you by any chance using COBOL tools from MicroFocus? Just wondering. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

Well, it wouldn't be him, it'd be the other dev he talked with. She is the COBOL dev.

Me, no. I'll ask her though.

Are you trying to push some Methodology?
Are you writing a book or something?
Is this some lead up to you saying, "And now, introducing my book on Agile Scrum..."?

I read that too fast and didn't see the "R" in "Scrum".

Is that new? I could've sworn I've never seen that "R" in there before (as in, ever)...

I gave up on that a while back, and just started doing. The effect was:
1) profit
2) schedules met
3) fewer bugs, and easier to fix bugs
4) being told "wow, I can never go back to doing programming the way everyone else does it."
4 being a good thing.

For my first job as a lieutenant in the Air Force, I was put in charge of a software team using COBOL to develop aerial port software (think FedEx for the Air Force). Of course I had never used COBOL in school and had never even seen it. The enlisted NCOs that worked for me took me under their wing and showed me how to develop using COBOL. I look back on those days fondly - it was a lot of fun and we did some great things with COBOL on an 80 character/25 line DOS-based GUI display. Not that I would give up .NET development and go back, but it sure was a fun time.

Well, they have to pay the Chinese factory 3 cents (including delivery) for each one, and they're allowed to make a little profit, aren't they?

Not if you're travelling on a Southern train!
Who am I kidding? Southern don't do "trains" any more; they only do "excuses".

And "strikes".
Don't forget "strikes".

No, the RMT do the strikes. Southern just do the excuses as to why they haven't resolved the dispute yet, and why there aren't any trains between the strikes.

How can I get good at multi-threading if I keep losing the thread?

You have to plot it out on paper -- but don't lose the plot.

Concentrate and keep your mind focused - but don't lose your mind.

but it's multi threading, means you need to:
1. plot it out on multiple sheets of paper,
2. cut those sheets into smaller pieces,
3. place the pieces into a container, shake it.
Now comes the mission critical stage:
4. distribute pieces of papers' to underlings
5. warn underlings not to disturb you before 10am nor after 3PM (12 on Friday's)
6. sit down and relax with a large coffee
7. locate the most lost looking underling and assign that person to prepare test plan, docs and scripts
8. go home (or if too early go for a 'meeting outside,' and after a few beers then go home).
