Jazz in the hood

Martin Espinach, coffee machine and lunch mate, gave yesterday a very nice internal talk about how his previous project used bugzilla and Mylyn to help them plan, assign and track team tasks. Although they were initially excited about Mylyn's task-focused UI, none of the team members ended up using it; they did love Mylyn's ability to get notifications from bugzilla. It looked like a neat solution.

When his very detailed talk was almost done, he told us that, for their recently started new project, they are using IBM Rational Jazz. I felt like killing him, but I then I would have missed the chance to complain about his talk during every afternoon coffee in the next weeks.

And Jazz? So far, they are loving it. I'll have to ask him to demo it to our team.

Fast Forward to the 1940s: The Puppini Sisters

Just heard for the first time The Puppini Sisters, via a twittering kellypuffs. Here singing Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights.



*Sigh* I bet used to hate the Andrews Sister when I was younger.

Del JazzSí a Tagzania passant pel Flickr

Buscant-me un concert baratet al JazzSí, ensopego amb Tagzania o Tagging the planet: tags, llocs i mapes. Bona idea.

Sembla què ara hi ha quatre gats que ho fan servir, i la cosa perd gràcia (em precipito cap a aquesta conclusió en veure que no hi ha res etiquetat aprop de casa meva). I si té molts usuaris, funcionarà? O hi haurà massa soroll? Em caldrà veure on és la casa de la teva tieta Conxita?

El concepte és molt similar al de wikimapia.org (e.g. bars a barcelona? en falten alguns...).

El blog dels tagzans (Conspiring for world domination from the Basque Country. Tagging the planet to set up our targets) és xulo. I em fa guardar-me la url dels fd's flickr toys (no, no cal flickr-ejar per fer-ne servir alguns).
