New Company
I just signed an offer letter from another consulting company. I know some of the people in the new team, but I really have no idea what sort of project I will be on. I do know that the new company has redesigned their teams around Agile processes.
This happens at just the right time. My main quickstart is well tested, I start the administration piece of the authorization software today. The company I am working for has no projects that fit me well. I am not sure if they have ever bought into OO, much the less java, .NET or agile processes. My beloved manager has moved to a new job in a big (non-consulting) company that will be perfect for him.
Bill (the manager) and I will continue working on the quickstarts, and the business objects that started this whole mess. They will be opensource. First release (probably just the quickstarts, the common jar and the authorization code should be ready to roll by November.

Just what the world needs
is yet another software blog.
But, maybe, this one will be useful. I am extremely interested in tools that will allow teams to fit CMMI into an agile environment. And by this I mean, actively follow CMMI practices outside of passing the audits.
So I am going to start blogging all the different choices I have made, why I have made them, and what to do about the errors that I have found.
My development environment is XP, but my target production environment is almost always unix. So, the tools I use/design/build must work in both environments.
I never expected to get into configuration management, but I also never expected to have a teenage daughter. These things just seem to happen to you.
