New Zealand 2012 - Day 2

We stayed at the Shotover Top 10 Holiday Park that is located here:

The place is beautiful and is very convenient if you use own transport. It's easy to get to Coronet Peak by using NZSki bus from there or from the Coronet Peak Hotel which is further up the hill.
Little issue will be to buy tickets to the NZSki bus. Tickets are not sold by Shotover Top 10 Holiday Park and you will need to buy it in Queenstown or at the following hotels: Coronet Peak Hotel, Shotover Lodge.
Here's the link to mountain bus details: http://www.nzski.com/guides/2011/queenstown/snowline.jsp
It's very convenient even if you travel with children and don't hire a car or don't have your own transport.

Scrum - Team Culture and Wall Manifesto

In the Scrum framework one of the key components is the wall and daily stand-up. In some organisations I worked with the whole concept of the wall is not accepted by many developers, because of the stand-up necessity and "time waste". Very often all that methodology is used for the sake of methodology and not to achieve what we actually do - adding or creating value to our customer (usually called "The Business"). I can understand frustration that is caused by the wall and stand-up process. From the software developer perspective it is really a waste of time for the following reasons: 1. In 95% of cases developers are head down working like hell delivering valuable outcomes that they are accountable for. Extra effort to go to the wall, staying there for 15-30 minutes and listening or not listening to what others were doing yesterday and will be doing tomorrow is annoying for them; 2. The mere fact of having to do something mandatory to do that looks like...

Mastering The Multitasking

There is usually two distinct perspectives on multi-tasking: 1. Multitasking is counterproductive. We get distracted by multiple tasks that all get our way and fight for our scarce attention, time and resources. This leads to a common fallacy that if you do multiple activities “at a time” you are not doing good work in any of those. 2. Multitasking is a way of getting many things done in a short period of time or in a long run. Indeed it can be either a disaster or a great helper depending on how it is used and practiced. Most recent research shows that we don’t do multiple tasks purely in parallel or simultaneously. That means we don’t purely multi-task, but switch between tasks and execute them one at a time, but by spending very small timeframes on each task. A good example from the history is a story about Julius Caesar capabilities in that area. Plutarch writes, “Caesar disciplined himself so far as to be able to dictate letters from on horseback, and to give directi...
