TechRepublic: A development shop turns to XP to take on the cost of change

Whenever I talk to people about XP they always poo-poo pair programming. Every time I've had a chance to do it I've been absolutely sure it's worth it.

I think insulating developers in silos of knowledge and experience is a fatally-flawed approach.

Blogging sidebar

Thanks to Steve I now have a sidebar I can write my blog posts into. Now I just have to integrate the functionality of Duncan's weblogger bookmarklet into this sidebar so I don't have to copy-paste the URLs and page titles (and selected text as a quote) manually.
