I’ve uploaded a couple bug fixes for Twitter Digest. One bug caused some issues when the blog’s timezone was not the same as the server time zone and the other was a bug where HTML entities were being made clickable because the code thought they were hashtags. Anyhoo, all fixed now. Check it out the Wordpress plugin page to download the latest.
Oh, and I haven’t tested with 2.8, but I can’t see any reason why the plugin would not work with that version. I’ll hopefully be upgrading my own blogs to 2.8 soon and I’ll test then. In the mean time, if anyone has any feedback w.r.t. WP2.8, I’d appreciate hearing about it.
Ok, *this* is what we’ve been talking about here for the last three years. I’m assuming the author has never heard of pliantalliance.org, but despite that, it appears he’s been very pliant in his development environment, which happens to be a ‘distributed agile’ team. He and his team looked at Scrum. They looked at XP. They looked at the Agile Manifesto. And they proceeded to be agile with Agile. The team ended up keeping stuff from XP, dumping a lot of the Scrum ‘rules’ and evolving their definition of “Agile” over time into something that works for them.
For the record, I don’t personally agree with everything they have decided on doing. For example, I’m still a big holdout on universal pair-programming. But my opinion doesn’t really matter. I’m not on their team. I really agree with some other things they are doing, like really emphasizing communication and knowledge transfer. But again, my agreement doesn’t really matter either. The point is, they’ve taken what the books said, spun in their own experience, mixed in their own current environment and voila…successful software development. It isn’t that hard.
