    Large scale software development

    software, scale, agile

    This is not necessarily fully baked but I decided to pst it anyway before it becomes another perennial draft that hangs around and by the time it get posted it looses all relevance. So here goes, please comment if you have feelings on this one way or another.

    jekyll

    So I’ve been working a little bit on a small, simple theme for Jekyll and I must say I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit. The features are great and putting together a theme has been fun. I’ve been using a couple of tools I’ve been itching to try out and I’m pleased with the result so far.

    vw, gti, mk6, automotive, review

    I’m camping it out today at Fifth Avenue Auto Haus waiting for my tires to be rotate and the car to be washed; maybe I should have skipped that checkbox – it is -29.5 C today. When they replaced the clutch I asked them to rotate the tires and of course they forgot.
