someone should be the owner of every piece

agile -- time and materials contracts ---

waterfall -- the more traditional linear approach....

agile good for user: centric social networks, web apps

waterfall - corporate sites and other informational sites

agile requires talented developers, clients willing to invest continuous resources and actively think about direction, constant access to design resources

Adding the date and time to quoted messages in Thunderbird reply e-mails

To add a date and time to the quote of messages you are replying to:

  1. Go to Preferences (on a Mac, at least, and this will be under the main Thunderbird menu)
  2. Click on the Advanced icon
  3. Stay on the General tab and click the Config Editor... button.
  4. Search for reply_header_type
  5. Double-click the value field of mailnews.reply_header_type, and
  6. Change this from 1 (in my case) to 2.

You're done!

Upgrade Subversion on Mac OS X using MacPorts

Disclaimer: I have no idea if this is the best or cleanest way to replace the svn used by Mac OS X, but it's what worked.

(I did not use this way, "Upgrade subversion client on mac osx," gridshore.nl/2008/12/21/upgrade-subversion-client-on-mac-osx/ )

Instead, I used MacPorts:

http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=subversion

How Google users search

books.google.com
Will let you "Find this book in my local library"
Using their deal with http://WorldCat.org

My friend, built a lot of Google's search, searches for "Patience, Grasshopper" and find nothing that explains the reference (from Kung Fu).

92% say they are good at search
66% search less than one a day

How are they confident in a complex skill

People get answers and are happy. We can make them two or three times as happy.

We count on many searches being simple.

Where to save configuration settings for MacVim

UPDATE: I'm off the Mac for development and onto Ubuntu so now see at the link for the latest version of my .vimrc file for PHP.

MacVim configuration should be put in a file called "gvimrc" in your user directory:

~/.gvimrc

Here are some configurations used for Drupal:

set expandtab
set tabstop=2
set shiftwidth=2
set autoindent
set smartindent

Eclipse not connecting

Eclipse php browser failed to connect.

It had a good reason.

Forgot to turn on Apache.
