Networking: Confessions of a Twitter Convert. I'm eating a hearty meal of crow (roasted, with garlic and rosemary) today, since I'm here to tell you how interesting and downright useful I've found Twitter to be since being turned onto it properly at the C4 conference in August. My initial reaction to Twitter was that it was utterly inane, but I was basing my opinion on the public timeline that shows posts from all Twitter users and on the Twittervision service that plots messages from Twitter users on a map of the world (see "Visions of the Sublime and the Inane," 2007-06-18).

Frankly, I put much of the blame on Twitter itself, asking as it does, "What are you doing? " as a way of prompting people to post 140-character messages. For the most part, as I acerbically noted before, no one cares what you're doing. However, that's not entirely true, and what I missed in my quick and disdainful overview is that a certain number of people do care what you're doing, as long as it's interesting, funny, or relevant in some other way.

Jason Reinsvold's BowMaster. MoMB - Most Anticipated. Scrumdevelopment : Message: [scrumdevelopment] SCRUM with Fixed. Is it possible to run SCRUM with fixed price contracts especially custom projects? For instance, lets say you need to make a program to communicate between two satellites. And client is big company - say NASA. They would only entertain fixed price estimates but are happy to run the project with SCRUM. Now in order to give a good estimate, I need all requirements defined to sufficient level of detail - along with complexity/ third party components price/ resource chart etc. If I leave things to chance at a later stage then I might keep discovering the devil in detail far too late, far too often [every sprint] and my estimate is going to shot way over. How can this be handled? Thanks Vicki. Categoria:Roma - WikiGuida. La guida ai ristoranti di Roma e Lazio. Tra colazione, pranzo o.
