Iteration 1, Thurs

Wednesday was Republic Day in India, which is a national holiday. Thursday, after the morning standup meeting, work continued on iteration 1. Tools I used included XML for Ant, bash scripts to automate pre-commit testing, git for version control, and Go.

In the afternoon, some team members participated in a site visit. Discussions with the client about terminology, logic structure, and priorities continued apace.

After the site visit, we had the weekly Pecha Kucha presentation night. Presentation topics included comparative education quality and its implications for the rise and fall of nations on the global stage, the history of Bangalore, inspirational quotes from Fight Club, the island Noronha, investing, Latin, and the Manneken Pis statue. 

comments broken? && PowerPoint on Mac

I was told today that someone left comments on my blog, but I checked and there are none that I can see. So I believe that google reader doesn't interface completely with Blogger.

PowerPoint on Mac is the most powerful presentation tool I have ever used. It is glorious. I was playing in a sandbox before. A small sandbox with no toys. And then someone gave me a water park. I think I'm beginning to understand how Sumeet does the ridiculously awesome things with slides that he does. I'm doing my pecha kucha on science fiction.
