Instant Messaging during meetings. Cory Doctorow posted Chat as a side-channel for face-to-face meetings. This got me thinking - I've used MSN Messenger many times during conference calls, to discuss things real-time with certain attendees but off-line from the call. It's proved especially useful when having a conference call with one of my clients, and one of their suppliers/customers. Kind of takes the place of the "lean over and whisper" thing, when you're not all in the same room. [Greg Reinacker's Weblog]
I did this just today. It was kind of weird having a conference call while chating but it is good for the reasons stated above

Open Source Dynamics. Stefano Mazzocchi: it's an design pattern: "good ideas and bad code build communities, the other three combinations do not". This is extremely hard to understand, it's probably the most counter-intuitive thing about open source dynamics. [Sam Ruby]
Very true as is this statement, which cuts to the core of what XP and other "agile" methods are trying to overcome: "The good old Software Engineering practices they teach you in college are bullshit: making architecture decisions without continous reversibility is expensive because design constraints change too much.Those who want to apply hardware engineering practices miserably fail."
