It's great to see an agile fan actually looking at the flipside rather than just trying to &amp;quot;sell it&amp;quot;. I am not saying that everyone else does, but it's very easy for people to focus on the positives rather than the negatives. &lt;p&gt;On this, may also be worth pointing out there is a great site containing essays on anti-&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_(technology)" target="_blank"&gt;hacking&lt;/a&gt; software development called &lt;a href="http://www.hacknot.info/hacknot/action/home" target="_blank"&gt;hacknot&lt;/a&gt;, I've found many of the reads enjoyable and thought-provoking. &lt;p&gt;Sorry for the gap in me blogging, been dead busy lately! &lt;div style="padding-right:0px;display:inline;padding-left:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin:0px;padding-top:0px"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/agile" rel=tag&gt;agile&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/software" rel=tag&gt;software&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/development" rel=tag&gt;development&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/disadvantages" rel=tag&gt;disadvantages&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=5173604217493655657&amp;page=RSS%3a+Disadvantages+of+Agile&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=robzyc.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=robzyc"&gt;</description><comments>http://robzyc.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!47CC559FF82C1069!284.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://robzyc.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!47CC559FF82C1069!284.entry</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Sep 2007 07:30:13 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://robzyc.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!47CC559FF82C1069!284/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://robzyc.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!47CC559FF82C1069!284.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2007-09-05T07:37:11Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Great Slides on Agile Principles</title><link>http://robzyc.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!47CC559FF82C1069!191.entry</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Kelly Waters has posted some great &lt;a href="http://kw-agiledevelopment.blogspot.com/2007/08/10-key-principles-of-agile-software.html" target="_blank"&gt;slides&lt;/a&gt; on the 10 key principles of Agile development on &lt;a href="http://kw-agiledevelopment.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;their blog&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;p&gt;Be sure to check it out and give some feedback!&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=5173604217493655657&amp;page=RSS%3a+Great+Slides+on+Agile+Principles&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=robzyc.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=robzyc"&gt;</description><comments>http://robzyc.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!47CC559FF82C1069!191.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://robzyc.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!47CC559FF82C1069!191.entry</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Aug 2007 13:07:51 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://robzyc.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!47CC559FF82C1069!191/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://robzyc.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!47CC559FF82C1069!191.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2007-08-14T13:23:48Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>"Agile Computer Setup"</title><link>http://robzyc.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!47CC559FF82C1069!180.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;I saw &lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GeekNoise/~3/134311825/23053.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;this blog&lt;/a&gt; from Peter Provost (from Microsoft Patterns &amp;amp; Practices) and thought it was a pretty good idea.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This is certainly something that I will try and take on board, as I really need to clean my system out a lot more often!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Have a &lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GeekNoise/~3/134311825/23053.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;read of it&lt;/a&gt;, and let us know what you think!&lt;/div&gt;
