I’ve been going through my old email and it seems that I am postponing setting up this blog since January 2007 as that’s the date Dr. Brooks gave me his blessing for the name of the site. I also think that I would probably have postponed it for quite a while to come if it hadn’t been for my foray into SP2010 and XNA for Windows Phone.
There are just to many things in there that need to be written down. Even if only to help me find them again myself.
Given the title of the site I would like to end this first post with a fitting reference. Software engineers will recognize the title of this website as a reference to Fred Brooks's 1986 paper, "No Silver Bullet", now reprinted as Chapter 16 in his The Mythical Man-Month, Anniversary Edition (1995). Although my ideas are influenced by his writings, this website has no connection with Dr. Brooks. (although I did asked and received his approval to name the site the way I did)
