Most Lovely Picture of the Year
Audacity and MacOS
The Audacity port for MacOs X is kinda sparse on details of how to install and use it.
1) You need to copy the entire contents of the .DMG file to your hard drive, and run the app by launching it from that directory (i.e. don’t drag the executable from the DMG into your Applications directory)
2) The LAME Mp3 encoder that you download is named quite differently – it’s called libmp3lame.so , which is different from what the Audacity website says, and different from what the Audacity program says it needs (libmp3lame.dylib). Simple fix: copy libmp3lame.so from the zip file, put it somewhere on your machine, and then rename it to libmp3lame.dylib
Wierd, Wild Stuff
- Telling someone they are getting exercise doing their job causes them to feel healthier and lose weight
- Most, if not all of the effect of antidepressants is also found in the placebos
- Vitamin Enriched Diet Coke – I had some, it tastes just like normal Diet Coke. I have no idea how much of the RDA for B3, B6 and B12 is in DC+, but it’s in there.
Carnival of the Agilists – 4/6/2007
We rejiggered the schedule, and so I’ve only had a weeks worth of material to collect for this edition of the Carnival. So it’s kind of short this time ![]()
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Are you productive or just busy? – from Ed Gibbs.
Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Keith Ray: If you don’t pay off your technical debt, you might have to declare technical bankruptcy.
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- In a provocative post, Kripanidhi SM asks “Does Scrum have a credibility crisis?” – I know what I think. What do you think?
Responding to change over following a plan
- Dwayne Melancon asks “What box are you in?“
Agile Resources
- Two hat tips for Brad Appleton:
- The Elements of Agile Style – a booklet by Joseph Little (this link is a little older, but it’s worth linking again)
- The Best Kept Secrets of Code Reviews – free if you register at the website.
Next Edition
- The next edition will be April 19th, 2007, hosted by Mark Levison
Previous Editions
All previous editions of the Carnival are referenced at the Agile Alliance website.
