- Happy New Year! Everyone else has said it, so I don't see why I can't. :) This has been one of my more maniacal new years. Went to a very cool party in Battersea (apart from the fact we actually missed midnight - DOH! |

- How many three-year-olds know what a triceratops is, let alone are able to pronounce it? Charlie's declaring 2003 the Year of the Dinosaurs! |

- Test Driven Development - Kent Beck Just read Kent's new book on a plane trip to Chicago. I've been dabbling with TDD for a little over 6 months now, but the book was definitely worth reading. As Joe said to me "it's written like a pairing session" which I agree with, and the theme that crops up most strongly to me is that the red/green cycle is very short for Kent - he explains why and I'm interested to try his style. One of the other things I liked was the number of different little techniques that come out, for example the "Log string" testing pattern which is a simple way of testing the order of methods being called. Stuff that isn't in the book is a detailed look at specific extensions (eg there's only a page and a half on Mock Objects), but that's kind of in the spirit of the book being fairly lightweight. |

- Thanks to the ideologically-driven decision of the Bush Administration, the UN Family Planning Administration is $34 million short. There is a grassroots campaign to make up the shortfall by persuading 34 million people to give one dollar. Are you a friend of population control? Of empowering women in the developing world by giving them the option of not having another child? |
