On a much happier note – Yes. You can breathe a sign of relief at this blog entry – I have time to tell you about Episode 347 of the JavaPosse podcast. This was record at the Round-Up 2011, in Crested Butte, Colorado in February. This was the session that I hosted and shared, called Technical Leadership. Jim Hurne, Tomas Stechly, Brian Gray, Guy Pascal-Gascoigne and a few others.
You can go and listen to Episode 347 online at the iLounge or try this German podcast website if your enterprise net-nanny-state thingie at work blocks you. [Businesses should not block twitter any more. Give it up! Everyone is going to be carrying a slate by 2016 so they are going to lose you to social networking no matter what they think they are saving you from. Ah well!]
