James and I just submitted our position paper for the upcoming Galway FOAF Workshop. Hopefully it’ll be accepted but either way, we’re flying in from Luton to Dublin via Ryanair, then from Dublin to Galway via Aer Arran. We hope to arrive at about 10:30am on the Wednesday. Mail me if you’re going and want to hook up for a chat. It should be fun.

Is it just me or are the images that yahoogroups uses to verify you are a human, just stupidly difficult. It’s taken me four attempts to join a group just now because I couldn’t make sense of the images despite my eyesight being 20/20. Are the spambots really at this level of sophistication? Given my recent experience I’d put them at the same pattern recognising level as a child of 10. Just goes to show that all the innovation in AI is being done in the spam and porn industries.

AgilePlanet is a little news aggregator that I’ve put together. It collects together in one convenient place the weblogs of interesting agile development weblogs. Thanks to the chaps behind Chumpalogica whose clever coding made this a cinch to put together.
