Myopia: the inability to see distant objects as clearly as near objects. PreferredConsumer.com What makes a good statement? In my experience, a good statement is one that people will disagree with frequently. One of the internal quality auditors at my company has an excellent plaque in her office: “If you and I agreed all the time, one of us would be superfluous”. So, in the spirit of disharmony: Agile development is all about being myopic,..

We just got back from vacation this week! No computers, no telephones, no IM, no text messages, no stress (just the occasional deer, moose or bear). Several years ago, I didn’t take any vacation at all during the year and promptly vowed never to do that again. In just one week of vacation, you can reduce all of the stress that you worked so hard to build up all year long. Remember that Canadian companies are famous worldwide for overworki..

When I see people after they have read about SOA or attended a conference with SOA, there are a few ideas that seem to pop up repeatedly. I have even been guilty of using these ideas myself. These ideas were proven to be bad before SOA came around, and (some) SOA evangelists seem to think that SOA solved these problems. It did not. It just refused to learn from history. Some of these ideas work under some circumstances, but recent SOA-itis ..

Barcelona I just returned from The ServerSide JavaSymposium Europe. Great conference, with interesting tracks and good opportunities to get to know people. The conference was in Barcelona, which was interesting, because hardly anyone (taxi drivers and waiters included) understand English here. It’s the first time where I’ve been a place where I am totally unable to communicate verbally with people around me. So it as a bit of an adventure. ..

Ésto me lo acabo de encontrar navegando por internet. La verdad es que es muy impresionante: Se trata de un sistema semejante a un escritorio físico, de los de verdad. Tendremos una especie de mesa con los documentos, los archivos sobre ella. Con el ratón podremos moverlos de un lado a otro de nuestra mesa virtual, y gracias a diversos gestos, podremos agruparlos, apilarlos, ordenarlos, moverlos, y multitud de opciones de la Vida Real,..

Roger Sessions has just published “A Better Path to Enterprise Architectures”. His main point is that large, centralized, big-bang enterprise architecture efforts fail. I could not agree more. Sessions gives some good arguments for why you would want to deliver incrementally. He calls this approach SOA. This is a fairly common way of defining SOA - basically SOA is another name for incremental deliveries. If this is SOA, I don’t hate SOA at..

In my previous post, I talked about how I feel SOA encourages rigid design. Of course, in some situations, you may not really have a choice. When creating Business-to-Business (B2B) integration, interfaces will naturally be much more rigid. There is no way around it, SOA or SOA-not. Ian Robinson recently published an article on Martin Fowler’s webpage titled Consumer-Driven Contracts: A Service Evolution Pattern. The article gives some very..

On JavaZone 2005, I talked about “Why I hate SOA”. I found it hard then, and I’ve still found it hard for a while to express this sentiment concisely. I think I’ve finally got it! One of the most common inefficiencies I discover in organizations is poorly designed boundaries. I find that people suffer when a boundary is too ridig, not when it is too loosely defined. Contractual interfaces create a “mine versus yours” mentality, where every ..

Suomenlinna island fortress Kerttu had her entry exams to the Biological faculty of University of Helsinki yesterday, and therefore she is now free to enjoy the summer. To mark that, we decided to go flying a bit around Espoo and Porvoo. The runway 27 was in use so we took the plane out through Nokka and returned later through Deger. The wind was a bit bumpy, but otherwise it was nice to fly again after the long winter bre..

Since March 2000 the Freenet project has been the very embodiment of the "release early, release often" mantra, gaining invaluable experience of the unpredictable challenges encountered when deploying a P2P architecture on a large scale. This talk will discuss recent developments in the project including our "next generation" routing algorithm, and a sophisticated but elegant new load balancing mechanism called "adaptive rate limiting". ....

What started out as a localized conflict spread to battles around the globe as forces sympathetic to either the Israelis or the Palestinians joined the fray. With the Middle East cyber war as a backdrop, this presentation will cover the ways in which people can try to affect the course of world history through coord....
