Yep, promoting events is not an easy feat. It is rewarding though, and should be for you as well, as the event was a definite success. Congratulations to the Kitchener Polish Day organizing team!

Thanks for the caution Michael. Seems like a general truth, rather than a work-specific issue. :)

Very cool,
Personally, between us there's very very little overlap in what we do now/what we want to develop/and who we look to for inspiration.

But one thing we have in common is that we're all responsible for taking control of our own career. And I've learned that D2L's definition of a successful Dariusz and Dariusz' definition of a successful Dariusz might not overlap. And be aware of that.

The catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a widening environmental, economic and political crisis. Is it also a moral crisis? ...

you should read the book Mother Tongue, by Bill Bryson, and your mind may explode. I like the new blogy look, D.

Oh man .. that's another great one. Notice that the two opposite definitions have almost the same origins ;)

The Mandarin language can be complicated too... "ma" for example has four different tones it can be spoken in, each with a completely different meaning. (By changing the inflection of the word.) Fortunately they use a different character for each meaning, so in print you know what you are reading. Unfortunate for the person who speaks Mandarin as a second language and goofs on the tone, calling his mother in law a horse.

That's awesome.
Reminds me also of the word cleave (which is not as cool because neither meaning of the word is common).

Cleave:

The first meaning is to stick and the second meaning is to split. Huh?!

In the aftermath of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games here in Vancouver, there is much talk about a renewed Canadian patriotism. Spontaneous bursts of O Canada in the streets, red wearing and flag waving were staples of the Games. Now that they are over, where does it leave us?

I liked the show of nationalism. You are taking the display out of context. Canada does not have the same history and ego as the US nor is it seen the same way on the world stage.

I heard someone on the CBC who was talking to British journalists and those journalists said they hoped they would see the same outpouring of support during their Olympics.

I say go Canada and Canadian nationalism.

Re: TorCHI Presentation: Sprint Zero and Agile Design

Interesting...I've been looking into Scrum these last days...so different than what we do at my company. Only thing ins I'm taking more commercial tasks now, so no opportunity to propose to try it. Although it looks as it could be a very good option.

I consider that one of the biggest problems when developing is giving people long tasks and not discussing the issues that arise every other day, if even for 10 minutes, with the responsible. It's a direct way to failure. Scrum and "sprinting" address this problem in a way that looks promising.

PS: Yep, post's a bit long :) But definitely worth the read.

Thanks Jon, I'll pick it up next time I'm in the city.

And yeah, I realise I'm being a bit verbose, but not really sure what to do about that. I've been treating the blog as more of an information dump for complete ideas, compared to the Facebook and Twitter jazz, where you have to be more sparse .. I should reconsider if I ever plan on having actual readers eh :)

good post d

btw I got your gsa agenda, I found it in a manila envelope in your graduate cis mailbox bin

also your posts, while informative, are really long... as one fellow blogger to another, the shorter the better if you want people to actually read the stuff you want them to read
