Quite a lot of work, I can assure you. I remember writing a book about iterative development which took me an entire, very hot summer in the attic of my house. It seemed to last forever and even now, when I occasionally thumb through the book, I get visions of sticky, sun-drenched days that I witnessed passing by while writing, thinking, writing, Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02060951130046633299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956213898545192923.post-40105560994943906212009-01-17T13:49:00.002+01:002009-01-17T14:18:32.966+01:00You've Got Mail. Almost.I have been arguing already a few times before why I think now is exactly the right time for a more careful, considerate approach to information technology. There are many arguments, many pros and cons, lots of items to write on this blog. But every now and then, you bump into a devastating demonstration that renders all discussion obsolete. Fed up with e-mail overflow?

Interesting company this is (thank God they did not call themselves 42signals, think we all got that message by now). They strive to create ‘the best web-based software products possible with the least number of features necessary’ and also they are Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02060951130046633299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956213898545192923.post-69958511865004392722008-12-01T09:32:00.000+01:002008-12-01T09:36:55.977+01:00Slow IT and the Seven Dwarfs<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 21 false false false NL X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]--> Probably like many of you, I was touched when I first learned of Carl’s now famous Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02060951130046633299noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956213898545192923.post-49350960676407175642008-11-24T12:39:00.001+01:002008-12-01T15:01:54.075+01:00Deliberately DisconnectedBeing Deliberately Disconnected is something we will actively search for in 2009. And if not, others will force us. UK commuter train operator C2C already did it: they are using high tech film to block GSM mobile reception in their coaches. Imagine that ocean of calm, everybody having these introspective, meditative moments before embarking on yet another hectic working day.
