Agile?

During the last months I have snowed in on Agile development.

If you ever are in Russia… in St Petersburg… please take the bus. This is one of the crossings in the town. No lights. No stop-signs. No speed limit. Looks pretty dangerous. Or like Borat says: to drive like that “.. is like giving gun to monkey. Very Dangerous! “

We have had a very nice (but exhausting) four days with him and the concert on Friday night went quite alright (the band had some odd moments in Could catcher Fells). Then on the Saturday morning...
