I'm currently (finally) reading Accelerate. So when I stumbled on this McKinsey report about Developer Velocity, I thought "Snap!", just as one does when playing that childhood card game when you see a match.

So what's the match?

Ever since I heard this month’s #AusGlamBlog theme was “Happiness” I’ve had that Happy song stuck in my head.

“Clap along if you know what happiness is to you”

I’m new to the library world as a professional, but not new to libraries. A sequence of fuzzy memories swirl in my mind when I think of libraries.

First, was my local public library children’s cave filled with books that glittered with colour like jewels.

I've been crazy busy of late, and seem to be suffering the same fate as others in that I'm using micro-blogs for the quick updates and burning need to express those 'top-of-mind' thoughts, rather than posting here to http://kattekrab.net - Ah well.

Not that you care. I don't imagine these rare postings of mine are missed much by anyone! :)

So what have I been up to? Conferences. Again.  Ya'd think I would have learnt to keep away from these unmitigated stress-fests by now. Oh no. Not me. Never learn, Can't be told.

Well the time has come - another Summer of Code is upon us. The truly marvellous Leslie Hawthorn reflects on some of the wonders of GSOC. Has it really been going 5 years now? Wow.
