Lucas and Morten sent me this photo from their office today, and I thought it was too funny not to share:
(If you’re not a software engineer, that’s a pun on “pair programming,” an agile development technique involving two programmers working together at one machine.)
We’ve been working on final preparations for our upcoming trip to South Africa and Mozambique, and one of the issues we’re facing is a sorely limiting luggage restriction on our KLM flight to Johannesburg. Each of us gets a single 20kg bag for the two-week trip. And while normally this wouldn’t be a problem (especially [...]
Over the past year, the iconic Holmenkollen ski jump has undergone renovation in order to prepare for the 2011 FIS World Championship.

One of the problems with visiting popular destinations around the world is the crowds and the queues. Anyone who has stood [...]
