No Sleep 'til Eastern In Gordano Services

It's 84 miles to Lyme Regis, it's dark and I've lost my sunglasses.  No we are not there yet, no you can't have another ice cream and no I'm not listening to the Sesame Street tape again.  Mrs Spuggy! arm the anti-caravan missiles and load the travel sweets into the child compartment.   Full speed ahead Valerie! No sleep till Eastern-in-Gordarno Services, hit it......


Have fun on your holidays Monkey Programmer Boy, please bring me back a special holiday gift.

eXtreme Programming defined

Kent Beck defines eXtreme Programming as

"DEFINITION: Extreme programming (XP) is a software development approach built around rapid iterations, an emphasis on code writing and working closely with end users to achieve business results. The 12 basic practices of XP include continual testing and the idea that programmers should work in pairs."

Extreme Programming for me is debugging a workflow system with my son George (aka the Evil Doctor Pud) on my knee. It is sort of pair programming but at nowhere in his 12 principles does Beck mention the other programmer sitting on your knee; pressing the space bar a lot or head butting you in the jaw.
