Thomas something about everything

Held a presentation on software security at Objectware. Nice turnout and people seemed to enjoy it.

After several attempts of installing Windows 7 on my new beautiful shiny raid configuration I was getting frustrated. The drivers provided with the motherboard (asus p5q-e) didn’t help at all. The drivers from intel are worthless, as they are packaged in an exe file which doesn’t let you install unless you have raid already…

The save was Asus homepage drivers. But Microsoft threw a curveball… If you don’t load drivers as the first thing you do, it won’t let you install. Refresh didn’t help, and I only found out by coincidence that loading the drivers first was necessary. Loading them after selecting disk doesn’t work. Lovely

Startet å lære Scala. Finner en del bra oppgaver på internett. Har startet på http://github.com/javaBin sine oppgaver.

Yay. Nå kan ingen ta meg igjen i høstmesterskapet i lørenskog lenger. 2 runder før slutt er seieren garantert. Se Lørenskog sjakklubb for resultatliste.

Ahh herlig lørdagsmiddag. En bedre flaske vin, bakt potet, grillspyd med indrefilét, squash, løk, champignon og paprika, samt grillet mais. Nam nam. På tide med en espresso, cognac og en bit mørk sjokolade.

Forresten merkelig… ikke vært noen halloween-kids her ennå.

Null hull… hehe. De var veldig trivelige og flinke på finetenner.no.

Digg stuff.

Smidig dag 2 for min del bestod av en veldig bra lyntalesesjon, en middels og en ikke så bra. Selvfølgelig er det min egen feil ettersom jeg gikk til feil sesjon Ting man har lært noe om er TDD, hvilket nivå legge testene på, hvordan få design tilbake i smidig, Kanban, Conwip, verdistrøm, produktkvalitetsfokus. I tillegg til gode sesjoner på holde foredrag (presentasjonsteknikk og innhold), Sikkerhet i smidige prosjekter, stakeholdermaps (forretningssiden er en litt snever sekkebetegnelse).

The first day of smidig 2009 was an OK day. The lightning talks were good, at least many of them, but the open space part was a little slow. Time slot 1 consisted of a group I suggested about security which produced some input on how you can integrate security thinking as a part of your agile process. We also came up with some suggestions as to what a development team should produce of documentation to maintain security throughout the application management phase.

From there on I went to a group discussing agile in application management phase which turned out to be a big group with few participants, so I left and discussed some other issues, but nothing too interesting.
