ein lied für holland

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

typisches viral-marketing, aber es ist schon sehr witzig gemacht: holland-stoppen.de

ich verbreite diesen link aber eigentlich nicht wegen des videos, sondern wegen dem coolen web 2.0 feature “ein lied für holland”.

man kann auf der oben genannten seite zu drei zugegebener maßen recht grauenhaften melodien ein paar gemeine worte gegen oranje loswerden. mein favourite: “oma macht holland klar” :-)

Medium: MP3

waterfall is back!

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

thanks to gernot i recognized a nice (but fictive) it conference called waterfall 2006. some guys of the agile community are making fun of this kind of development-process-anti-pattern.
you will roar with laughter if you start reading some of the abstracts for “tutorials”.

here is the pickup:

“After years of being disparaged by some in the software development community, the waterfall process is back with a vengeance. You’ve always known a good waterfall-based process is the right way to develop software projects. Come to the Waterfall 2006 conference and see how a sequential development process can benefit your next project. Learn how slow, deliberate handoffs (with signatures!) between groups can slow the rate of change on any project so that development teams have more time to spend on anticipating user needs through big, upfront design.”
