Booming While-You-Wait Service
Here in Orange County, CA we’ve finally begun to buck urban sprawl with “urban living” apartments —
buildings with rows of shops on the ground floor beneath loft apartments. I want to tell you about the tailor I found who has set up shop in one of those buildings. It’s the Original Hems Studio across from the Main Place Mall, and they are remarkable for two things: while-you-wait service and convenient hours — two aspects of business that support each other.

Fullerton Code Camp Next Weekend (1/29 & 1/30)
The schedule for the SoCal Code Camp next weekend (1/29 & 1/30) has been posted: http://www.socalcodecamp.com/schedule.aspx. My talk, Simplicity Appreciation 101, is during the first session on Saturday, so be sure to get there early. It starts at 8:45 in room H 123, which appears to be the designated room for the, “agile & project management track” (quotes are mine). Building H is the Humanities/Social Sciences Hall, which is to the right as you walk in from the parking lot (lot F).
After me, Llewellyn and Woody give their Agile Introduction talk. Then, Woody keeps going with “10.5 Easy Code Excellence Techniques”, and that’s followed by various talks about project management survival. Note: the schedule is subject to changes up until Thursday (1/27).
This promises to be the best Code Camp yet. I’m looking forward to the fact that I get to give my speech early, so I can then kick back and enjoy the rest of the conference.
