flats for rent Golders Green comments on Web Design and Mouse Rage Syndrome

I think websites need to be more friendly. I was looking for flats for rent Golders Green and it took 5 minutes to the properties and houses to upload so I did not use this website.

Its obvious that selling on Internet must be better easy, or easier in normal shop. It was designed to save you the hassle of moving and buying it physically. And I agree it has to be smooth and easy. One can argue that the main reason of amazon being so successful its their buying process which if i'm not wrong is patented:)

So yeah, selling on internet must mean pleasure.

Google Books has indexed a 1983 edition of the DeMarco book you mention and indeed it does include the phrase "you can't control what you can't measure" on pages 58 and 112. You can see this for yourself by going to:

http://books.google.com/books?ei=emhvSvmKKJTklAS9lYXuDg&id=y7AmAAAAMAAJ&dq=Controlling+Software+Projects%3A+Management%2C+Measurement+and+Estimation&q=can%27t

The page 58 occurrence is barely visible, but it's plain on page 112.

Hi Chris,

It's a long time that you didn't blog on anything.

Please consider this as a reminder. There are people who learn from what you write. I am one of them.

Tim Beullens comments on Latency, Bandwidth, and Station Wagons

Tim Beullens — Mon, 11 May 2009 15:19:33 +0000

Nice post, and many nice quotes!

It is true that delivery of any kind, for large amounts of data is always faster than using the world-wide-web or even direct leased lines.

But I think we are comparing different things here...
A station wagon loaded with 1000 tapes, will travel faster. Correct!

But to have the total picture: Try and write 1000 tapes AND drive them over to the destination, AND read all data at the destination and write it on local storage there AND return the empty tapes and car...

Measuring transfer time of data send over the internet will contain also the "encapsulation" process as data will be handled by all layers of the OSI model. In the comparisation here, the time for the complete data processing (7 layers) is compared with only the bottom layer of the OSI model of another way of sending...

OK, I get the picture of the quotes and the bottom line of this post, but if we compare the complete package, it may have different outcomes....

Ale comments on Controlling What You Can't Measure

Ale — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 22:09:28 +0000

As an experienced manager I believe that we have a serious misunderstanding here.

The objective of the saying is to indicate that, if you want to control something, you need to measure its current performance first, make adjustments, and measure again.

To discard this saying based on things that we control but that we didn't measure in the first place only means that we didn't understand.

Cancer medications are one of the most extensible measured and quality controlled products in the world. Some say that more than 50% off all costs while developing a medication goes to quality control i.e. measuring.

enry_straker comments on Asynchronous Architectures [4]

I was initially going to dis-agree with the first commenter regarding his claim that '...what was basically a very chaotic presentation.' till i saw who the poster was.

Having watched it a few more times, i still dis-agree with Werner regarding the nature of his talk.

I absolutely enjoyed it. Loved it, in fact.

Having worked in this space ( scalability, availability etc ) for quite a few years now, it's nice to see people like Werner sharing their experiences and perspectives on it.

Also, an enormous thanks to chris for the work in transcribing the talk into a post. Great job, dude.

Rahul,
I've been preoccupied some business and personal projects that were not related to systems performance management, so I got out of the routine. This viewbook [4.6Mb pdf] for a local college is a sample of my work for our company, UpRight Marketing, last year.

But right now I'm back to doing some Web design and development work, so it seemed like a good time to try to restart my blog.

Thanks for noticing,
--Chris

Hi Chris,

Good to see you blogging after such a long break!

The labels - Satisfied/Tolerating/Frustrated - are really interesting ones. They handle the seriousness of metrics better than talking only in terms of avg/min/max and not associating the severity.

Rahul Verma

IT Anarchist comments on The Importance of Measurements

IT Anarchist — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:28:55 +0000

I believe Tom is also quoted as saying "You can't measure what you don't specify", and to me that is vastly more illuminating than all the twaddle written about measurement w.r.t. exercising management and/or control.

BTW - Don't ask me for a citation as I don't have one but, if you must, why don't you just contact Tom c/- Cutter Consortium with whom he's a Fellow and occasional guest writer.
