Comment on What went well, what didn’t go well, what can I try next time? by Lisa

This is an excellent approach. I would put the biggest emphasis on “what went well’ (which borrows from positive psychology) and go so far as to write down your answers each time you ask yourself these questions. It is also great to note what you do when things don’t go well to get yourself back to feeling good. This way, the next time things aren’t going well and you are feeling down/ less resilient (yes, there is always a next time) you can refer to what you did in previous times to help yourself get back on track. The idea is that over time, you will naturally be more resilient because you will know what do.

Hi Norman!

Wow, I’m not going to lie I’m a bit surprised to find out that someone is using the api I wrote! I would love hear any feedback you have!

It’s kind of fallen off my radar in terms of an active project for me as I have been struggling for time and didn’t really see much of an interest. If you are going to want to use it then I would certainly love to find out what your plans are and we could work together to finish things up?

Shoot me an email and maybe we can discuss further?

and thanks again Norman!

Hi Chris

I would like to say that the Backpack API you have developed is excellent. Thank you very much for sharing.

The best part in my view is the embracing of TDD. The unit tests are essential as 37 Signals could change something at their end and at least with the unit tests you would quickly pick up on it. I do think 37 Signals would be very careful but without the unit tests you would never really know where any issue was.

I have been looking at it for about a month or so in my spare time. Although I do .NET development for a job I have never used NUnit or XML or much with above .NET 2.0 so it has been good.

I can recommend it to others and will keep working away at understand it better particularly around anythings missing for an application I am looking at developing.

Thanks, Norman

Comment on Solution for bookmarking… by Chris Jones

So I’ve decided to try out using delicious again. I have a fair bit of stuff in there already and relative to the solutions posted above it seems to be the best… for now anyways.

Great topic! I haven’t used my bookmarks in a long time either, but I do use my bookmark toolbar a lot for things I want to look at but don’t have time for yet. After I look I either send to delicious, google reader, or both.

I would love to find an alternative to delicious though.
