The SOFTWARE principle

I wanted to copyright my new mnemonic and was looking for an easy way to do so.  Since google indexes EVERYTHING and my blog posts are date-time stamped I thought I could copyright it by simply posting

So here is is.

“Use the SOFTWARE principle in your development!

S eparate API from implementation
O SGi over J2EE
F ind simplest/smallest solution
T est drive your development
W ork out your alternatives
A ssertions and checked exceptions
R euse dont re-write, and refactor often
E ngage others early”

Hello Again!

Hi Folks,

After 14 months I’m back.  I didn’t leave EMC and return.  I took leave of absence in order to fulfill a commitment elsewhere.  

I’ve been back for a little under a month now.  A lot of things have changed, as you can imagine.  Sadly, a few colleagues have moved on.  You know who you are and I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank them and to wish them all the best in their new positions.  I also have a few new colleagues and I would like to say hello to them.  I look forward to working with you.

I feel like I am getting my feet back under the table so my normal blogging service can now be resumed.  I have a couple of Composer posts lined up and I will hopefully be able to start blogging about all things XCP in the near future, stay tuned.

Cheers,
_Paul
