Simple Ruby Annotations
There is an interesting post by Aslak Hellesoy over at CodeHaus regarding simple
ruby annotations. While I've not really paid much attention to
annotations in Java (beyond Ted Newards occasional post on the subject) the
simplicity of this unofficial ruby implementation is making me want to dig
out my Pickaxe second edition and delve in again... Now if I only had
a reason to use annotations ;)

Not the Official Yellow Fade Technique -- But it works.
A while ago I wrote a post on the very excellent Yellow
Face Technique (unixdaemon post), a slick bit of browser-based UI that
made it easier to track changes on the page.
The nice (and patient!) people over at i am jack's design were kind enough to send me a link answering my challenge for usable code. And it seems to work fine! Go and have a look at the Yellow Fade technique -- iamjacksdesign version code and demo; it's worth five minutes of your time and visitors to your site will thank you...

Painless Project Management with FogBugz Review
Writing this review was a little awkward. The book covers a topic I
needed to know about while not having a huge amount of interest in
learning, however it is an excellent book if you actually need to know
about FogBugz so I felt it was worth a review.
The book is end user focused and could be thought of as a "Missing Manual" for FogBugz. If you need a book to give an overview of what the product can do and introduce you to the basic and a number of the intermediate features then this is as good as it gets. If not then it ain't going to be much use.
The fact that I managed to go through the whole thing without getting bored is a testament to the quality and pace of the writing. The full Painless Project Management with FogBugz book review is now online.
