Very interesting mail client (finally one with a blog style calendar!) Takes the Google approach rather than the Yahoo approach to information retrieval.

Human Engineering

Interesting presentation from Tools99 on improving code quality through Human Engineering.

The examples are a bit weak, and I suspect that the "conclusions" weren't so much conclusions, but the starting point. But I think they're good:

  • Humans make mistakes (especially programmers)
  • By Human Engineering the language various Sins of Omission, Confusion, and Sloth can be caught
  • Human Engineering takes conscious effort:
    • Use Redundancy, Compartmentalization, Completeness Checks, Explicitness
  • Anecdotal evidence that good human engineering can significantly reduce test and integration phase
  • Much more experimentation and research is needed

Rome was getting angry
So Mart went on the run,
And then the Pope went postal
When he married a nun
So come on, come on
Do the Reformation with me
