Agile and Scrum - new words for an obvious world

David Hamilton — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:52:13 GMT

I've noticed many jobs going for software development managers requiring Agile and / or Scrum skills. Those who are interested check out this Wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development 21 years ago in Digital Equipment we formed a Scrum team to make a Logistics Order Processing system in 3 months. Another project had been wasting time and money for 3 years so we felt we could make the grade. I got the team in a end part of the building and told the management to only do one thing, feed us money, technology and food because we would be working together all day and late at night to get this done and then leave us alone. We did the job by having one person "yours truly" managing by walking about. No big documents waiting for I dotters and T crossers, just white boards, flip charts, decisions, plans for the day and actions. Did we get it done in 3 months? Yes we had a prototype in one week, we added to it, got rid of bugs, wrapped transaction logging round it, developed some kernel code and bingo the system was ready. Of course the finance user group wasn't. Why? Because they worked in the old school way and that's the problem. Its great to get the code out and working but watch out for the users, if they aren't up to speed you are lost!

Rant about Salesmen and Cars

David Hamilton — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:55:34 GMT

Don't hire a salesman if he starts discussing the wheels he wants on his car. Fire a salesman if his car is parked in your company car park more than twice a week. The reason you provided a car to him was to allow him to visit prospects and clients. Perhaps he forgot that. When the car park is full and you wonder why check out your lead generation, maybe its not working. A company car is not something you want to ever get involved in a discussion about, you only get in discussions about sales, orders, delivery and customer satisfaction.

Testing Software in 3 continents

David Hamilton — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 23:17:03 GMT

Client Application Development I'm currently testing two pieces software that I have architected and had developed in India. My team of unsung hero's are testing in Belgium, UK and Buenos Aires - the collaboration is handled using a bug reporting system and the flame-a-grams are handled with email, Skype and Skype out! One piece of software handles online subscriptions, redemptions of shareholdings and will be very useful to my client once go live happens. Whilst the other handles payments processing with approval circulations and full auditing. A typical project in a virtual world, people in different time zones, different language, definitions understanding problems, domain experience missing at times, technology of VOIP is essential, also desktop presentation software to have conference calls and share your desktop to your colleagues. Bug tracking systems and discipline to do everything through the tracker is mandatory or you getting lost. Developers can be so one track you want to place a small axe in there brains , but then if they think about the business logic they get it completely wrong so that's where we come in. Agile/Scrum? Let's look at this way. Business Problem Solver "ME" sits with CEO and listens to his ideas about his business and processes he wants to automate or improve. I'll translate that idea into a prototype in 2 days and then sit down with him again bouncing of walls to make sure I am in sync with what he wants. There aren't many business problems I haven't had to deal with so I can always add value and if I can't I tell my client. I like working with fellow CEO's, I know the job too well, I know how lonely and challenging it can be and I know how important delivery is. My deal is I deliver, I continue to work in between high elements of play because I like doing the simple things of making stuff work, making a business buzz, turning a business around, igniting the people and leading them. I can change a culture of a business and make it sing. Oh I digress. Well I'll be back about a rant on Leo Laporte and Twit Network.

What has happened to TWIT

David Hamilton — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 23:20:53 GMT

Dear Leo, I used to look forward to listening to TWIT but not anymore for now TWIT should be renamed LeoMateNet because all we here is gratification after gratification about your mates the fellow twitters, we hardly here anything about technology and you have become a slave to your ratings. Meanwhile BuzzOutLoud Tom and Molly just keep delivering solid information and entertainment so I guess I'll dump my podcast of TWIT or this weeks piffle with mates.

Sub Prime compensation fall out

David Hamilton — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:52:35 GMT

Should we worry about the amount of money paid to bloated executives of failing banks? As shareholders we should but the question is what happens when we Joe public through our government bail the failing bank out with loans, guarantee's etc then surely we have some say in what the bozo executives get paid! Imagine you are a child and you have spent all your pocket money and at the same time incurred debts with your friends. So you go to you parents and beg for more money. Would you expect to get bailed out and a big pat on the back? No way! The governments have become the parents of the banks yet the kids never get disciplined.

TWIT and Bill Gates Exit and me

David Hamilton — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:14:32 GMT

Nice TWIT for a change on Bill's exit. A couple of points, Bill first rejected the idea of CD-ROM or "information at your fingertips", Digital Equipment Co used CD-ROMS on their VAX computer system s on May 15th, 1985. Bill Gates derided the CD-ROM for years and only started evangelizing it in the mid 1990's. I met Bill on several occasions some arranged due to my business successes and some just by being in the same place as him. One time I am sat in a lounge at Seattle airport and Bill is sat next to me so we start chatting. Most recently we bumped into each other in the Millbrook resort near Arrow Town New Zealand. I once asked him would he agree with me that the Internet would deliver Office and other products making the use of CD-ROMs redundant. He totally disagreed. Well? You have to respect Bill Gates, I respect him for his determination in his early years to form Microsoft, and he was a consummate programmer who believed in his code and what he was doing. He drove the new Microsoft through his coding in Basic a language that purists never went near as he believed in the microprocessors power and this was visionary. He is famous for answering the phone on Friday evenings at Microsoft because he was the only one at work and he believed in his company. Of course he is the dominator, the monopoly but in our business if he wasn't someone else would be. Remember what IBM did in the name of business in Latin America in the 70's and 80's. Google is the new Microsoft; it is the monopoly of search.

The Age Of Innocence or the World Turned Upside Down

David Hamilton — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 10:34:08 GMT

A pub in Reading UK not far from the Digital Equipment Co offices way back in 1985 was called the "World Turned Upside Down", I always wondered about that Pub's name but I knew after a few pints of the local brewers extra you could imagine the world had turned upside down. Of course in those days banks lent businesses money and we were clients. Our efforts built the economy through innovation and excellence, new technology business powered the economic growth, just as Iron, Steel, Steam, Railways, Canal's, Townsend's three year rotation to name but a few powered the economies of the past. All of these milestones of growth (of course many other strategic points exist - thanks to Andy Grove) But we now live in times where growth was fuelled on vapour, spurned on by banks who transformed themselves from being a service to be business leaders and innovators! Accountants run the world and they have created Special Purpose Vehicles to spoof investors and regulators alike. How sad a testimony to modern commerce. Hopefully the World has turned upside down and we will go back to the age of Innocence where hard work, innovation, intellect and dedication along with compassion and empathy with the environment will drive the future. Banks will have to go back to charging customers for service and Customers will be able to demand better service because they are paying for it. Nothing is free! To my fellow stock market followers, hold fire and hope the democrats get in, and then watch the market bounce back with foreign investments. Facts: In March 2001 the USA Stock Market crashed and lost investors billions. That was only 3 months after Bush was kind of elected. So much for confidence in the president.

Bandwidth Monitoring

David Hamilton — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:11:00 GMT

I listen to Buzz Out Loud and This Week In Technology and in both it never fails to amaze me how unconnected the discussions are on broadband charge/use models. I have an edpnet 24MaxAdsl connection and a Telenet connection. The former gives me 24mb download (although i ""only"" achive 7mb and 750k upload with unlimited data. The later gives me 20mb downlioad whcih i realise and 1mb upload with 60gig limit. When the edpnet had limitations it behaved as did Telenet, if you overspent you bandwidth you get put on 'Narrow Band', its like having a 64k dial up modem. If you want you can buy chunks of bandwidth to get your speed back with on average 1gig extra costs 1$ I think this is fair, after all someone who is downloading more than 60gig on a cable network with zillions of movies is doing what? Each ISP provides a portal to view your data consumption so all in all what's the big deal?

Credit crunch

David Hamilton — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 08:53:46 GMT

Somehow the consumer appears to be determined to ignore the credit crunch. Like always it seams every flight I take is busy, every store I visit is swamped. So what gives? Today the pound has moved up a little, Spain is in a terrible state, when will the reality of the euozone collapse hit the euro? It has to! Let's see what happens in March because by then the hidden numbers will emerge.

Opec! A�$%^&*()s You guess the letters!

David Hamilton — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 09:14:14 GMT

According to a source quoted on Reuters, OPEC, which already agreed oil production cuts of 4.2m barrels per day (bpd), is considering whether to discuss reducing output by a further 1m bpd at its next meeting on 15 March. OPEC president Jose Botelho de Vasconcelos reiterated OPEC aims to bring the oil price back to $75 per barrel. Bring on the days when we no longer need this monopoly! Putting up the price of all will just make the world economy recess even more. Greed, Chavas, Russia bottom feeders.

Two Bikes Collide

David Hamilton — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:14:55 GMT

Amazing, on the way to the office in Hyderabad two motorbike riders collided! One is left at the side of the road a small crowd standing around him but no attention being given. Apparently many of these accidents happen! No wonder, its like wacky races yet the funny thing is with all this traffic in a European city the end to end journey time would be IMHO double or triple the time it takes in this disorganised chaos.

Cattle have to be managed by Policemen, its the law in Hyderabad

David Hamilton — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 08:05:28 GMT

Local news article states "Cattle have to be controlled by Police", two pictures of two cow's happily grazing on the main route to High Tech City... Our cattle graze as fat cats in the useless banks, perhaps we can send the police into see them.

‘Traffic cops must man cattle too’

February 18th, 2009
From DECCAN News

On a busy Monday morning recently, traffic came to a standstill on the Begumpet flyover, as a ruminating bovine stretched out on the middle of the road. Continuous honking ended up in vain and a traffic cop had to be summoned to get the cow that strayed onto the flyover out of the way.
Amusing as it may seem, there have been numerous instances where traffic has come to a halt due to the cattle that block the road and simply refuse to budge.
“This is a common sight at Abids, RTC X roads, Ameerpet etc, Buffaloes especially couldn’t care less even if you keep honking,” says Sirisha Rao, a student.
The authorities meanwhile are busy passing the buck, and trying to palm off the responsibility of keeping city roads cattle free to each other. expressing the helplessness a traffic cop faces in such cases, T. Venkat, a cop stationed at the RTC X Roads says, “We agree cattle often block the road, but how are we responsible? Everyone seems to be in a hurry to pull us up, but we are hired to man traffic, not cattle. It’s the GHMC and SCB who should do something to keep stray cattle away. What’s more, we can’t do for the fear of inviting the wrath of animal activists.”
GHMC authorities sing a different tune. “Cops are hired to keep the traffic flow smooth, so they should keep the cattle too at bay if it’s blocking traffic,” says Venkateshwar Reddy, chief vet, GHMC.
Dayanand Reddy, assistant secretary of Secunderabad Cantonment Board, says, “The traffic cops should pitch in and cooperate with us to ensure smooth flow of traffic. inform us if the cattle refuses to move.”

George Soros won't tell us what is going to happen to the dollar!

David Hamilton — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 06:29:14 GMT

Thanks a million George, of course you wont tell us because you and a handful of insiders are controlling our lives on the currency markets. It only takes a few people handling vast amounts of money to rock the system and this is what is happening. So go on George, tell us? Buy or Sell!

The Euro has become the Pound

David Hamilton — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 06:37:02 GMT

EU news! The UK has decided that the � will be used in all euroland countries. Simple as the pound is now worthless and the bankrupt economies of mainland europe are being propped up by Germany, we might as well replace the euro with the pound! Oh S#$%^ I was dreaming, in fact why don't we just take the euro now and get on with it. UK could save loads of money, we would all be free of fx! I suppose that dream will never happen, instead the UK government is happy to let the pound devalue in the interest of imperialism.

Damian Green is morally bankrupt

David Hamilton — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 22:11:38 GMT

No charges are being pressed. However here we have an employee of a government department openly passing information from that department to an opposition MP. Let's just try this again, I'll get a job at Cisco, I'm working in a department for tracking customer preferences and i decide to pass this information to Juniper. I would loose my job and the people at Juniper would have to defend themselves in court. So a tory MP solicits information from a government official and no charges are pressed! Sorry but they may have escaped the law but that employ and Damian Green in my opinion are morally bankrupt!

Mumbai Face masks

David Hamilton — Wed, 06 May 2009 10:11:54 GMT

Arriving at Mumbai ariport on the 1st of May I was surprised to have to complete a health form which seamed to me to be totally useless. Have you been in any of the above countries that have had swine flu declared? No, because my country wasn't on the list! Immigration officials wearing face masks! According to most experts this makes no difference, better they were goggles and gloves. Leaving , the masks had gone (5th of May)! I ask you.

Windows 7 on MacPro

David Hamilton — Tue, 26 May 2009 12:05:03 GMT

Running Windows 7 on my MacPro is just amazing. First the product is stable, fast, obvious. I am really impressed with Windows 7, Apple will have to look out because frankly the number of problems i have with OSX with no solutions grows every day. Spinning Wheel is like the old windows hour glass that spun for ever. Windows 7 looks good, is very fast and you get a feeling that it is what Vista was supposed to be.

Do Apple Mac Book's have built in Self Destruct

David Hamilton — Tue, 26 May 2009 12:08:53 GMT

I now have three black Mac Books. none of them will boot, two of them give the folder sign and do not see there hard disk. The other seams to have no screen anymore or is stone dead. All are around 18 to 24 month and users have been my kids and ex wife. All non power users. My old Powerbook Titanium broke after 13 months. My new Power Book broke after 14 months, Superdrive drive dead. I can't contemplate another mac purchase.

Once an Apple Fan now no more, how to burn customers

David Hamilton — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:39:42 GMT

Apple thrives on its customer loyalty, those early adopters who buy the new product that hardly works always with the next release. Well I purchased (in the modern era) an Apple Cube, Apple Cinema Display, 4 original Apple Imac's , apple dual g4, apple dual g5, Mac Pro, at least 10 portables, numerous ipods and ipod touches and 3 iphones. But the straw that broke the camels back is the the IPhone 3G purchased in Belgium. Well it dropped out of my trouser pocket whilst getting up from a chair. Try dropping a Nokia N95 8gig, result=no change.. Apple cracked the glass at top right hand corner. I have continued to use the phone, then suddenly can't make outgoign calls but can receive incoming. Tried everything and ended up taking to Cami Brussels,. They have some nice poeple working on the desk and they have some absolute non customer care arseholes working there! Normally they will be the francophones who don't worry about there bad attitude and how it effects future sales (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!). Well they sent the phone off to some repair center, result? I have to 350 euro's for a fix! Sorry its over, i'm never going to buy another apple item again. What's the point of premium prices, guarentee's etc when the kit is handled by morons. Want a bet? The consumer will bite back at Apple, I am not alone.

Victims of Freddy Braidy

David Hamilton — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 21:17:18 GMT

There's a young chap who operates in the movie business out of LA. IMDB reports him as follows

"Freddy Braidy » Mini Biography"

""Freddy Braidy has a long and varied presence in the film industry. He has worked with Franchise Pictures as well as with Samaha Productions as a Development and Production Executive and has assisted in structuring film financing with these Los Angeles based production companies for the past ten years.

While with Franchise Pictures and Samaha Productions, Braidy worked internally on such titles as The Whole Nine Yards, Driven, Art of War, Heist, Alex & Emma. He also has hands on experience with the physical aspect of production working on such titles as A Murder of Crows (written and directed by Rowdy Herrington and starring Cuba Gooding Jr.).

Recently, he Produced and Executive Produced the comedy film Bottoms Up, the science fiction adventure Retrograde, and the high concept psychological thriller Victims."""

Well other good people with whom I have made contact know this charming person as a con man of extraordinary skills.

Personally this individual owes me more than $500k and this is small fry compared to others.

It says in his biography that he produced Victims, that’s not exactly true because he suckered many Victims in his wonderful trail of lies and deceit in operating a "Ponsy scheme".

Yes he first borrowed a small amount with a guarantee of a payback and of course like all Ponsy schemes he paid the small amount back. But then he invented a bigger scheme, more value and even better rewards.

Well you got it the results were no pay back. Neither did I get paid back for my investment in the making of Victims. But I am not alone.

So sue me Freddy Braidy of Cameo FJ and may be your coke-snorting sidekick Francesca will cough up some of the funds. BUT I am not alone am I, and in the next months more of these good upstanding individuals who you ripped off are going to post something on my blog, and maybe just maybe people who you are ripping off now will take notice and take up references on you.

Note: The Freddy Braidy I refer to is clearly identified on the IMDB.COM web site as quoted, i know of no other Freddy Braidy and this text does not infer any association with any other Freddy Braidy living or dead.

"After all there couldn't be more than one of these scoundrels."

Off Limits! What a band. Denia Blues Bar

David Hamilton — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 13:18:11 GMT

Going out at 11:30pm? It has to be Spain! Arrived at the Blues bar in Denia 00:15am and got a seat near the air con as this is much needed with night time temperatures at 29c! Chris Pearl a mate was playing in a new band "Off Limits" he has joined. Chris is a fantastic talented self taught keyboard player. Since joining Off Limits he has blossomed, what a difference when a group of great musicians Well the band he is in comprises of Brazilian lead singer and guitar player Rafa Raposa who is frankly the most amazing talented individual I have ever seen in such a low key venue. He should be on the superstar circuit! Even then I'd put this guy next to Carlos Santana or Eric Clapton, John Lee Hooker, even Ry Cooder! I do not know a style of music and songs that this guy couldn't take on and make his own. Off Limits is a brilliant international band to watch, true consummate talent abounds from drummer Walter Mohr from Germany was tight and integrated, Belgian, Luc van Breda kept a cool beat on Bass with our man Chris Pearl (English) showing a level of keyboard wizardry, like one minute he is a one handed Rick Wakmen geek, the next Billy Preston his range and his chatting with Rafa's guitar was so together and together made me think of great bands, however this band is great. Starting of with George Benson's "On Broadway" he takes control of the audience's attention with his shear singing guitar brilliance. Moving onto Santana numbers, Prince "Kiss", AC/DC Highway to Hell, this guy can play anything, J.J Cale's (Clapton fame) Cocaine stunning! I can't overstate how stunned the audience was with this band and the lead guitarist, you watched with your jaw in you chest! He played with the guitar like a magician, not like an old time axe man but fluid, fast, interactive and Rafa's humor, humility made you just feel great! Sometimes you see human's do things that make you feel glad to be alive! Last night In Denia Blue's bar was a spectacle of brilliance from this band who probably deserved to be paid 1000's for me they are worth it. Acoustic set up excellent, drinks great, and eye candy OMG! Got to bed at 5:30am, not bad for an old timer!

I'm going Windows 7!

David Hamilton — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:01:01 GMT

Sick of apple mail spinning for ever, sick of safari not working or supported on so many web sites. Fed up with Itunes crashing all the time. Honestly i switched to apple in 1999, i thought it made sense but now i am sick to death of the spinning wheel, the software spends all its time communicating with some site you have no connection with, Have you tried Windows 7? I have it boots fast, it just freaking works, after all what do we want of an o/s? Do we want it to be in your face like Vista? Or marketing attractive like snow leopard? I want it to work, stay in the background and not become the reason for my existence! So , Windows 7 is kind of humble, it works, it doesn't shout at you and it boots IMHO faster than vista or snow leopard. And guess what - 99% of the worlds apps will run on it. .. Frankly apple should dump its OS and use Windows 7! (jeez i cant believe i am saying this!)

People of Iraq and Iran

David Hamilton — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:00:37 GMT

I am sad, I feel bad, I want to do something! I can't believe what is happening in Iran! My friends in Iran and Iraq belong to one of the most civilised countries in the world with the worst administration in the Galaxy. Neda Sultan was murdered by the state machine. After she died the family could not even have a decent burial. Is this the behaviour of an acceptable government? No, these extreme mullah driven idiots are screwing there own people. These people are jewels of civilisation who are tortured for having opinions. I feel hopeless, i want to make a change! Iraq, a wasteful war! When are we going to understand our fellow human beings in the middle east. We must show them we care, we must support there struggle against there governments, not because we want to overthrow the government, no! We just want our friends to have a peaceful loving happy and complete existence. We here debate the rights of the BNP to speak on News night!! They can not even speak let alone speak there minds in public. I implore you all to think about Iran, think about positive continuous internet pressure. Support these wonderful and gracious people.

Well here goes

David Hamilton — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 10:07:53 GMT

Got up this morning and thought i'd write about my ideas on the IPad, well i had a doctors appointment this morning, it was the followup from Wednesday's appointment. I went to the doctors because my skin was cracking and i was feeling exhausted, tummy aches and loosing drive. So i started with salt water baths because he said i am full of yeast but he was concerned about why.. Well I am now Diabetic! He asked me why i stopped eating my oily fish and all the god things, stress, too much work, too many other peoples agenda, too much drink.. well the sword of reality is on my shoulders. I feel sad but in one way glad i found out now. My glucose level was 386, my doctor said its a wonder i haven't been found in a hospital in a coma. So whats next, a tablet 3 times a day to reduce the sugar in my blood, back to oily fish 4 times a week , thomas and rebecca will remember that one! My vitamin D levels are very low so boosting of Vitamin D , then i'll be taking eskimo Omega 3 and 6. The alcohol is over, i was really getting into the beers. Well great time to change , time to stop messing around. Doctor says i will have to take the tablets for the rest of my life, we'll see about that, i will be pursuing alternative therapy to get this fixed. Now , what was that about the IPAD?,, another day

IPad Rules OK

David Hamilton — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:51:19 GMT

Many people I meet ask me what's the point of the IPad? What's the point? People just don't get it. I can't wait. Now I can have a machine that is big enough to do the things the IPhone does and with a screen I can control with my finger! I'll be able to have a machine which I won't have to install something, I wont see a degradation in performance and I will be able to watch my TV in bed on my sling player (something I have to do on my laptop at the moment).

Just think switch on the IPad, do what you want, switch it off and your done. Just like a utility should be, no security prompts, no install this or that, no diversion from what you want to do and millions of apps.

I'm watching TV, I check my stocks push home type in stock app name open it up and your there - frankly simple, frankly brilliant. Reading a book? Sure, watching a movie Of course! Travelling on an airplane YES, hang them on the backrest of the car for the kids!!! Yeah!

Want to get lost in the technology? Use your Mac or pc! Want to do something? IPad rules.

So I bet from this you know I am very positive and please do not make it multitasking!!! It will just slow it down and start a world of problems.

Rant about Alcohol

David Hamilton — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 13:05:18 GMT

Today brings me into day 13 of abstinence, now i feel every ache and pain in my body like i never had them before. Yet weight loss its down by 3 kilos.

Something to consider, i f i can get to 1200 calories per day i will be on track. Tomorrow i will write all about Web Customer Services!

Sad News

David Hamilton — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 05:48:45 GMT

I remember JFK passing,i remember how i woke up in the middle of the night when John Lennon passed away. I woke up at 2am, something wasn't just right. I started up my Mac Book Pro, switched on my Iphone 4 and read the terrible news. Steve has passed away, he has reached his nirvana. You made me believe in being a technical business leader, to demand excellence from myself and my team, you demonstrated that the higher ground of high quality, high margins was the only way. You never traded customer expectations, you built software and hardware that we wanted and we loved it all. We still will but we will miss you Steve Jobs, you made being a geek fashionable, you changed mobile communications for the better, without you the mobile industry would still be giving us what they want , crappy phones, bad bandwidth and high costs. I will always remember you, and will keep your visions in my back pack, like the one minute manager, in search of excellence, atlas shrugged, lord of the rings, and as i continue my life to that eventful day i will remember what you said. Treat every day like its your last. My you live for ever Steve Jobs.
