Brave new world

Why in english?
---------------
I wanna learn as many different things as possible. I have heard that it's one of the key things to achieve 100+ lifespan :) So I'm writing in my sloppy english. Hopefully some French, German, Spanish or Japanese posts will occur ;)

Why new world?
--------------
The time when a was working for the current company very soon will end. And a new challenging events will follow (I hope).

Why brave?
----------
It only took me 1 day off work and suddenly plethora of crazy, impossible, revolutionary, amazing, a little scary, innovative and eventually profitable ideas come to my mind.

First Step
----------
The most crazy, impossible and terrifying one was to clean up my living space. After 5+ years of cleanup-by-putting-unnecessary-stuff-to-rarely-accessed-place introducing order take some time. Sorting notes from university, high school, and random notes gave me opportunity to watch some videos on InfoQ and YoutTube. Here are the ones I find interesting:

On TDD
Test Driven Development: Ten Years Later
Manager's Introduction to Test-Driven Development

On TDD by Misko Hevery
The Clean Code Talks - Don't Look For Things!
The Clean Code Talks -- Inheritance, Polymorphism, & Testing

On Agile Metrics
Agile Project Metrics

On iterative development and testing
Interview: Ron Jeffries on Running Tested Features

On Architecture
Learning from Five Years as a Skype Architect

all presentations and interviews are very interesting

And looking at the great pile of papers - I'll probably watch quiet a few more :)

I'm very glad to read your new post. It means that you are active :) And I hope your new job is better for you. Not like generally better job, it's just good to change environment sometimes.

Cleaning living space? You should move to some new flat. And leave all the stuff you don't need in the old flat. It's amazing how many things we keep which we don't need anymore :)
