Just because of the current flow in the band I found the energy to create a video of from our performance in Örebro in september. This is also my first YouTube-upload ever.

As I wrote before, we are truly blessed right now in the Vasa Band. It feels like our music is deeply infused with the Lord’s presence, and everything seems to be aligning perfectly with our long-held aspirations.

We recently had another wonderful performance on Sunday night, conducted by Andreas Kratz. You can listen to a recording of the concert here (please note the file is 45 MB).

I am incredibly proud and grateful to be part of this amazing band and to serve as a Salvation Army bandsman. I’ve played with many great bands, but the sense of fulfillment and joy I experience with this group is unparalleled.

Thank you, everyone—let’s keep moving forward on this path. And a special thanks to Andreas Kratz for helping us shine!

I recently stumbled upon a treasure trove of webcasts dedicated to various Agile practices. At the bottom of the page, I found a list of valuable resources covering topics like Kanban, Agile Design, TDD, Pair Programming, and more.

For instance, check out the webcast on Debugging Pair Programming, which addresses common challenges and solutions when introducing pair programming.

Additionally, the site features a range of other interesting webcasts:

• Agile Design with Alan Shalloway
• Fast Track Test-Driven Development: Testify Your Project with David Evans
• Is Lean the Inevitable Future for Software-Intensive Product Development? with Flow Chain Sensei (try saying that three times fast!)

These resources provide valuable insights into Agile methodologies and practices, making them worth checking out.

As part of my commitment to practicing what I preach, I’ve started transitioning more of my work into the cloud. After managing emails, contacts, and calendars online, it’s time to move my files.

Dropbox has proven to be an excellent tool for this purpose. It offers a straightforward way to store files online and sync them across multiple devices. Additionally, Dropbox allows you to share specific folders or make files publicly available. For instance, you can find some example code here.

With Dropbox, I no longer need to rely on USB drives—it’s a seamless and convenient solution for file management. Highly recommended!

OK – I am already sold on this concept and most experienced developers probably are but here is a great (and short) introduction to Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control.

Don’t let the title scare you – it’s not that long an article.

Got a tip from Joakim Sundén about an article that introduces Kanban in a great way. Here you are.

I don’t know if I understood it better this time because I already knew about Kanban, but it really resonated with me in a practical way after reading this.

I also loved some details in the presentation—just check the “Your estimated waiting time” boxes in this picture:

Thank you, Jeff.
