I have been silent for a while, because I spend almost all of my evenings and nights coding my new baby - a lightweight screencasting application which I call DeskBeam Junior. Why "Junior"? Because this is just the first approximation of what I have in mind in the "Senior" version, which is going to come later, and which will include advanced video editing capabilities.
The picture on the left is the logo for the application, which I created a week ago. It is supposed to represent a flower. I hope you find it cute.
The whole thing at this moment is a bit secret/unstable/in statu nascendi, so I am not giving you samples, screenshots or downloads to try out just yet - but do expect some early access preview (of alpha-to-beta-ish quality) in a couple of weeks.
Unlike my previous creations, the software will not be open source - I am going to charge for it.
But - it will be rather cheap - to the tune of $20-$25, so I guess everybody should be able to afford it.
On a totally different note, I am preparing a long-ish post/presentation/essay on the subject of "Earned Value Measurements in Agile Projects" (yes, the title is deliberately controversial, as typical Agile approach is that EVM is bogus and worthless). I seem to have found an interesting metric for agile projects, which I guess nobody had though of before (at least Google does not know of anybody with an idea like that - I have been looking for it on the internets for a while). I hope the metric will be useful to some project managers out there, so if you are one of them, stay tuned. There will be formulas, graphics, and all sorts of good stuff
