I am writing this to you from my brand new CR-48.

If you know what I mean: cool.

Teaching Software Engineering in College, Problem #534

At my college, a semester was 13 weeks.  At most, a class met five days a week - usually less - for an hour or so.  That means that a college semester has around 65 hours of class time.

In software development, a typical sprint is between two and four weeks - let's split the difference and go with three.  Each work week has forty hours.  That gives us 120 hours per sprint.

In other words, a college semester is equivalent to just over half a sprint.

Think about that.

It's OK, I Have the Right Glasses (Part II)

I've been brewing for almost two years now.  One of the styles that eluded me for so long was the Saison, a spicy farmhouse ale from France and Belgium.

With my most recent batch, I declare this nemesis defeated.

It's OK, I Have the Right Glasses

Tonight's a cognac night.  Does that make sense to anyone but me?

Understatement

It's been a really long year.

For that matter, I can barely believe that it's been just over a month.

At any rate, long week ahead.  Need to do laundry, take a run and prepare for a funeral.

Update:  I came within a hair's breadth of my first seven minute mile.  Everyone jump to the thirteen second mark with me...

Random Thought for the Day

Cheeseburger without a bun: poor man's steak or rich man's meatloaf?

Whew!

I did it.  For the first time in I-don't-know how long, I just ran an honest-to-god eight-minute mile.  Outside, heat and humidity, up and down hills, no stopping, no skimping on time - the works.  And it feels great.

Yay me.
