# This year's ACCU Conference is going to be pretty fantastic. It's runs over 4 days and includes C++ sessions by Bjarne Stroustrup, Andrei Alexandrescu and Matt Austern, Stan Lippmann of C#, and a whole pile of stuff on Java and Python. It's going to be even more brainbending that ever before.

At the moment I'm in the slightly embarrassing position of being on the ACCU committee, but not actually being able to afford to go.

# One of the more fun aspects of arthritis is not knowing which bit of you is going to hurt when you wake up in the morning. Usually I wake up with stiff hands which loosen up once I get out and about. This morning I woke up with an aching right ankle. Haven't had one of those for ages. It's gradually worsened through the day, and now I'm walking around like a right gimp. I hope it slacks off by tomorrow - I've got a long drive and then a meeting to try and secure some work, which I'd rather not be grimacing all the way through. It just sends out all the wrong signals.

# After months of shillyshallying, finally submitted my Glenn Dakin interview to Borderline. As far as I know, it's the first interview BL has run where the interviewer and interviewee actually met. I deliberately tried to be conversational rather interrogational, but I'm not sure how well it reads now it's written down. Fortunately the written word doesn't have a way of expressing the long pauses while I groped for the next question.

Here's Time magazine's review of Glenn's book.

# Shattered. It took me three hours to write one email this morning. It wasn't especially long, I knew what I had to say and I had someone to help me write it. I do not feel particularly cut-out for international wheeler-dealing with real companies for real money over real commitments.

# Just been proof-reading an article for Dot-Com Builder. I'm quoted at reasonable length in a kind of talking-head-expert role. By astonishing mind-blowing coincidence, Kal and Dr Marc also provide lengthy quotes. Depressingly, they sound clever and I just sound like an arse.

# Decided late last night not to take the Bean for his operation today, as he was still running a temperature and we'd been told that would rule him out of having the anesthetic.

This morning he appears, predictably, to be right as rain. He woke up, told me to change his nappy, demanded to be taken downstairs for his breakfast and is in an entirely good mood. His temperature's gone too.

What a little git.

# Daniel's off into hospital tomorrow for a minor operation (some kind of -oscopy on his tear duct), but, we've been told repeatedly, if he's ill with a cold or anything they won't go ahead. Since he's as strong as an ox, and regularly fails to go down with the bugs that floor his little baby-mates, I didn't think that would be a problem.

This lunchtime, for the first time since he started at nursery 15 months ago, I was called in to collect him because he's ill and running a temperature.

What a little git.

# Followed Mr Singleton's suggestion to poke around the ThoughtWorks website, because it had been a while since I last looked. As you'd expect a lot of the material there echoes things in books written by their head-brain Martin Fowler (one of which I'm reading right now).

I'm very taken with the Win by Failing Faster soundbite. At the moment I'm learning through failure. The project I'm working on with Frazer is a reimplementation of something I worked on previously, on a problem I understood and worked through and 'solved'. I've always known that if I had the opportunity to redo earlier work, I would make a much better job of it. And I am. 10 days ago I stood in Frazer's kitchen and told him this work is about seven times better that what I did before. Seven seemed about right, because it wasn't just a bit better, but it wasn't loads and loads better either. (The old work wasn't that bad either. Wrong, I now realise, but not bad). I made my kitchen pronouncement knowing that last time round I hadn't, in fact, had a full solution, but confident that I now did.

I've spent the time between then and now learning more and more, stumbling forward toward that elusive goal. At 3 o'clock yesterday I told Kal well, today I think, *think*, think that I've finally got the differencing absolutely and finally sorted out. I was wrong again. Today? Well, today I think, *think*, think that I've finally got it absolutely and finally sorted out.

# Hurrah! - a new version of Pegasus Mail. I don't normally get excited about new bits of software, especially ones I haven't seen yet, but I'm all excited about this. Pegasus is a top package, I've used it for about 6 or 7 years now, and I'd recommend it to everyone.

#Inching not leaping
All through the week I've been thinking I've had a 'Eureka' moment and that I've now have the solution to the thorny problem of structured document differencing. A few hours later I'd realise I didn't.
smellygit said Checkout www.thoughtworks.com - one of their 'beliefs' is that they "Win By 'Failing Faster'" - so now u must be a step closer to winning !

# Took my pills and kept on working yesterday, but didn't fancy the job of writing the 97tons of test data I needed. Luckily Kal was about, so he wrote me a program to write the test data. After all why spend an hour doing something when you could spent 58 minutes writing a program to do that thing in a minute? Just think of what you can do with all the time you've saved. Come to think of it, look at all the time I saved getting Kal to do it instead. I watched Enterprise. Yay!

Armed with my test data I got testing, and started turning up problems. There were a couple of the "not working" variety, but now I'm sort of stuck on the harder "you're probably doing this in the wrong way" sort. I'm taking comfort from this book, in which Uncle Bob Martin, a highly respected all-round object technology bigbrain, describes the problems he encountered when first adopting Extreme Programming. I already knew that the blokes at the top of the metaphorical pile face the same obstacles, but it's good to know they make the same mistakes as me too.

# Frazer's crazy plan isn't, Nat decided, crazy after all and may just be our ticket to limitless wealth and world domination. At the very least it should keep the wolf from the door for a little while, and further delay the necessity of me leaving the house and looking for a real job.

So I'm working. Hard. At least, I think I must be working hard because my hands really hurt. The arthritis doesn't often affect my hands, but my all my primary typing fingers - thumbs, index and second fingers - really ache, especially on the knuckle. If only I'd learnt to touch type back when I was nipper (although let's face it, this keyboard doesn't exactly encourage it) - I'd be spreading the keyboard pounding equally across all my fingers and perhaps they wouldn't be so bad.

I think it's time to break out the big Brufens.
