I was having dinner with some friends the other night when they told me about their new cat they named Leeroy – before they could finish I instinctively yelled out – “JEEEEENNNNNNKKKKKKKINNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSS”.  No one knew what I was talking about – they had never heard of the legend. I tried – valiantly – to educate them because hey who doesn’t know about Leeroy?  I know it’s old, but still it’s so relevant to what we do today.  I even showed them the old grainy video. Let me break it down for you… A bunch of people are sitting in a room

The Customer Trip

Whether it’s a customer trip or going on-site to your company’s headquarters there is only one state that you should return in – sheer exhaustion. Why? Whomever is sending you to that location is paying for the following; Travel Accommodations Food & Drink (not always in that order) These are the tangible monies that are being spent, which are very easy to quantify, the intangibles of a customer visit is where the real value comes lives; Time invested by all resources on-site to ensure you have everything you need – equipment, projectors, meeting rooms, etc Disruption to people on that site

Greetings and Salutations

This is my blog.  The posts can be read all on their own or as a collection of ramblings as to what my thoughts are and how I view the world of software development.  It’s not an expose, it’s not a “though shalt do this or face my wrath”, it’s my thoughts… maybe others feel the same… maybe they don’t… and that… is totally fine. BTW – the title of this post comes to you from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure… Now onto the the blogging…
