Guess who sounds like a cranky old fart now? I'm positively jovial in comparison. (My preferred methodology, coincidently).
;-} Oh, and btw: the world is generally comprised of objects, which has the interesting effect of influencing most modern sw developers to prefer OO environments (and methodologies, tee hee) over the older procedural ones. So, with that, and the fact that it is now 6:07pm Madison time, I will put my glass (object) of beer down on the table (object) and head down to the room (object) where my poster (object) session (object) is to be held in a few minutes. Where, I will be spending the next two hours describing to people (objects) the intricacies of our new TeraGrid (object) MRAC (object) project (object). Cheers, --Doug On 6/5/07, Glen E. P.

Hmmm. OK. How's this: OO methods are always an impediment when the application is not naturally an OO. And the lack of any method is always an impediment if the application has some natural structure. Perhaps the following opinion will fall on more sympathetic ears: For those of you who use phrases like "OO methodologies", it's "OO method". The word "methodology" indicates the study of method. You sound like a bunch of stodgy old bureaucrats whose only skill is placing clip art in powerpoint and go to every length to establish their relevance with made-up words. "Methodologies"... Sheesh! We may as well run around talking about all those biologies, physicses, sociologies, ontologies, and phenomenologicalies everyone uses. - -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-219-3846, http://tempusdictum.com Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. -- Ludwig Wittgenstein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGZejsZeB+vOTnLkoRAiQhAKC9Si5mqqDL2ibmnoo/UxIbsYh7iQCgkRac lxgPZduQ0dptc/HvYkhBYuQ= =ic9s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
