NWE on the blogs

Some bloggers are starting to mention NWE. tingilinde says everyone should download NWE2 to try it out and tell us what you think, something I definitely recommend!

Giles Turnbull on O’Reilly is also trying out NWE and will blog more about it in the coming weeks.

Finishing 2.0

One of our developers recently moved to Japan. It has been a bit of a challenge to continue working with him while he is over there because the time difference is so great. Yesterday though, we did a bit of pair coding using iChat and and SubEthaEdit. The coolest part was using our iSights so we could video chat. I’ve never seen much benefit for a video-phone style service, but I have to say that when it comes to working very closely together, being able to see the other person makes a huge difference!
