Why Fainting In Coils? It's what the Mock Turtle told Alice he'd learned from the Conger Eel, who taught Drawling, Stretching and Fainting in Coils.
Personally, I preferred, "feinting," which I think is original pun, but it was too confusing for most (which is saying one hell of a lot from the name 'faintingincoils.org').
I'm an Agile coach and program leader. I earn a living by improving the quality of products, the efficiency of processes, and the effectiveness of teams. I am an ICAgile™ Certified Coach and Facilitator. PMP™, SAFe™ SA, CSM™, and CSPO™. I also hold a Cisco Security Green Belt. I'm active in the Raleigh-Durham Agile Leadership Network.
I graduated from Penn State's Schreyer Honors College, with a BA in Political Science and a BA in History. I studied political epistemology (how we think about the things we want to do) and intellectual history (ideas, their origins, and how they change over time). I earn a living as an Agile coach, but I am an historian.
I rescue dogs, or more to the point, they rescue me.
Blogizdat!
блог is “blog.” -издат (-izdat) is an abbreviation for the Russian word издательство (izdatle’ztvo), which means “publishing house.”
самиздат (“sam” for self and “-izdat”) is “self-published.” Samizdat was the technique of publishing forbidden texts in Soviet Russia. Dissidents found creative ways to publish information censored by authorities.
VisitdotProject
I use to dotProject for personal projects, and then I used it household DevOps: open tickets to keep track of all of the things I needed to do to repair or maintain the home. These days, I use Trello.
I keep dotProect because some projects have fixed scope. Most of the infrastructure efforts in the architectural runaway are better executed in rolling-wave waterfall. I've noticed a lot of people apologizing for their PMP™ certifications theses days, but I keep up with mine. It's a set of tools for getting something done. If it's useful, then it's useful.
(requires user login - I still have not integrated the user/sessions between Joomla! and dotProject -- it's one of the unscheduled tasks in the backlog).
