Top six posts from a year ago on the Endeavour

by John on March 10, 2009

Here are six of the best posts from February 2008. Four are on the list because they were popular, and two just because I liked them.

  • How to avoid being outsourced or open sourced summarizes advice from three authors regarding what skills are highly valued and difficult to outsource.
  • Free bitmap to vector software was an announcement for VectorMagic, software for turning bitmap images into vector images so they can be re-sized without becoming jagged. This software does a great job at solving a common problem, but a year later I still don’t think too many people know about it.
  • Everything begins with p was a surprisingly popular little rant about statistical notation.
  • Honeybee genealogy shows how Fibonacci numbers come up when examining a honeybee’s ancestry.
  • Enterprising software summarizes some comments from Cyndi Mitchell complaining that “enterprise” software is nothing like connotation of “enterprise” elsewhere.
  • Rethinking interruptions argues that instead of only trying to reduce interruptions, we should accept that interruptions are inevitable and look at strategies for recovering quickly from interruptions.
