Life/Software
Had lunch with D. in beautiful downtown Santa Cruz. Cafe Campesino was closed, so we had omelets at Walnut Street Cafe. While I was waiting to meet him, I walked into the atrium of the Cooper building and listened to the saxophonist who was playing on the street - perfect acoustics!

D. talked about how he had adopted the idea of test-driven development (TDD) from the XP guys and how it had changed his coding style. We talked about Chrysalis also, and I decided to try to use TDD to help finish the current module I'm working on. He also recommended using Eclipse, which sounds like it's got a lot more features than NetBeans.
