Failed Metaphors
Another presentation about Agile Methods and again the one with the slides compares with Waterfall. In the end Agile Methods succeed by turning a stroller into a car.

No Python, no compiler, a simple grid layout to call
scanimage. An easy tool for my 8year old to turn workbooks, tests and home schooling results into digital copies. More…Wonderdisk
I often do hardware tests and compare Linux desktops. So I need many distributions bootable but also isolated. A handful of pen drives is the easiest solution. The following sections describe how to go one step further and bring them to a single USB disk. More…
