Things younger than Republican Presidential candidate (oh, and did I forget to mention “war hero”?) John McCain - Am I being “age-ist”? Probably. But the world is a pretty complicated place right now and I’m thinking that it’s not such a great time to elect our oldest President ever. So sue me.

Code reviews should be built into every project timeline. What I find most of the time is that they are overlooked, excluded in lieu of functional testing only, or worst of all, performed by the wrong person. This is shame because a code review can significantly enhance a team's chance of delivering a quality piece of software that the customer will actually use.

Searching the web for some relevant references about Generalizability Theory, I discover Brian O’Connor’s website. He’s developing several SPSS, SAS and Matlab programs to do some psychometrical analysis. I was particularly interested in his notes on parallel analysis and the reasons why we have to perform factor analysis on dichotomously scored items or Lickert items very carefully.

There is an article that is really worth reading over at http://www.vnode.ch/fixing_seekdir, where the author hunts down a 25 year old bug that causes seekdir() to fail to seek to the right position, an issue Samba have been seeing for some years. Additionally, I tip my hat to Marc Balmer.

The guys over at the Google Mac blog have dropped a new little open source application called Visigami, which serves as a more “interesting” and “fun” way to browse and play around with images online.

The funny thing is, wildarmsheero is right: Code Geass doesn’t have a pretentious bone in its body. It’s the fans who are the pretentious ones. The show is just noise and pictures, and it’s the fans who shove the meaning on it. We’ve been here before, and we don’t need to say anything about Code Geass at all - it can just be enjoyed.

I've been thinking and talking to a large pool of folks over the past 2 weeks about "Static Code Analysis" or "Whitebox Analysis" of web-based applications and have come up with an analysis of why I think this is a flawed approach. Feel free to hop over to my other blog and give it a read, and comment away.
