An ADAC air ambulance lands in a very tight spot in Lichtenrade, Berlin. The helicopter is only just visible in this spur of the moment shot.
As a casual observer, I’m often impressed by the daring of the ADAC helicopter crews.

Peter Gutmann: “The sheer obnoxiousness of Vista’s content protection may end up being the biggest incentive to piracy yet created.”

It’s the end of the first week with a new client in Munich. Despite the storm on Thursday (didn’t impact Munich too much apart from the S-Bahn being suspended from 20:00 on Thursday night) we’ve made some great progress.

Other Munich observations:

Monday was the first full day with my new customer in Munich. I’m going to be here on and off for the next 5 to 6 months helping a part of a large organisation transition to agile methods. It’s looking really interesting. Although this is going to be a challenging assignment (most agile transitions are!), there seems to be a genuine desire to give things a try. I have the feeling that we (that is the team including myself) are going to be able to make considerable improvements over their current process (by taking baby steps) and have a lot of fun at the same time.
I’m moving to a new blogging platform (WordPress) and domain (simonroberts.de). Barring something unforeseen, this will be my last post using Radio Userland. I’m hoping that simonroberts.de will be my virtual home for many years.

I’ve chosen WordPress for a number of reasons, including:
I’ve been posting to both Radio and WordPress in parallel for a few weeks. From now on, I’ll be posting primarily to WordPress. Agile oriented posts will be mirrored on my agile software development and project management blog.
