Parallel Peer Programming

While looking at Planet+ I found Scott James Remnant's excellent piece on Parallel Peer Programming.

It's not very surprising to see that the fantastic efforts of Canonical are due, at least in part, to using some XP-techniques.

Bulky Pocket Syndrome

I now have a Motorola V3 as my cellmobile phone. The thinness of the device was its biggest selling factor - my wife is happier since I now suffer less from bulky pocket syndrome. There's only my keys and palm pilot problem to solve now :-)

On the cool tech side, the V3 doesn't have some proprietry gumpf phone connector - it uses mini-USB for both battery charging and connectivity. Under Linux it appears as a USB modem - something to explore to see if its useful in the coming weeks. There's also bluetooth, but shadowfax (my laptop) doesn't, so that'll have to wait.
