So it was.
His responses read very like this, if you assume he said it:"
“written in haste by a fellow administrator”. Someone else posted what I said in private
“(It was) pulled by me at the first opportunity, it would have been pulled quicker had I been at home." I first saw the post down the pub and quickly realised the damage it would cause
“It should never have gone out in that format." The way I would have liked it to go out would have been "Oh look some nice travelling folk. The weather doesn't look too clever does it"
“It has been the subject of intense discussion between us." The c**k-up caused an enormous row
“He has apologised to me, and I offer my apologies to those who have been offended by it.” He has apologised for putting my comments on Facebook - I need to do some damage limitation

It should never have gone out in that format - Is obviously a reference to the fact he missed the word "Into" from the sentence "The Pikies have moved the car park next to the shops"

I started a band called 999 Megabytes, but we haven’t gotten a gig yet.

Well then it's a long way to Tera

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

else

As much as I would like to agree with you (along with many others in here, I'm sure), the current IEC standard disagrees.

BRING IT ON! Can't wait.
Sidenote: When friends or new programmers complain that they just can't get their heads around octal or hex, I remind them that they're fluent in base-12 (inches, hours), base-24 (hours), base-60 (minutes, seconds), etc.
Thank goodness for SI!

So, today the product owner for my team was a minute and a half late to our daily scrum meeting. We were already done...

The Daily Scrum is not meant to be attended by anyone other than the members of the Development Team. This includes the Product Owner. In fact, the Scrum Master is not even required to attend.

That's true but I still approve of rapid stand-ups in the Daily Scrum.

As a Delphi shop, we eschew all things Microsoft**, and as such, we follow the guide from Scrum.org rather than anything Microsoft has published.
Also, he (product owner) doesn't fully participate in the meeting. He observes, then clarifies any issues or questions that arise.

Only the team participate, but
1) it is an open meeting that anyone may observe.
2) there is a fair chunk of discussion as to whether PO is part of the team there are valid arguments in both directions so it makes sense for the team to manage in whichever fashion they see fit (they won their process)
3) Would we ban someone talking at stand up (such as SME the team have asked for help) just to comply with an MS or Scrumguide view? that would be a bit daft....

1) OK
2) The Product Owner is a member of the Scrum Team, but is not a member of the Development Team.
3) "The Development Team or team members often meet immediately after the Daily Scrum for detailed discussions, or to adapt, or replan, the rest of the Sprint’s work."
If you're not following the Scrum Guide, you're not doing Scrum. And that's OK; no one says you have to. I'm not, but at least I know I'm not.

Quote: If you're not following the Scrum Guide, you're not doing Scrum. And that's OK; no one says you have to. I'm not, but at least I know I'm not.
But that's not true, pretty much every scrum guide and or book (whether it's The Scrum Guide or other) clearly say that scrum is empirically adaptive, the teams should tweak the framework to what suits them best. Obviously diverge too far and you are no longer doing scrum, but I really don't think whether a PO is active in the daily is pushing the limit to say what is being done is no longer scrum. If the discussions change the daily from a quick sync to something else then I would coach the team away from it, but if it still a daily sync that is useful to the team, then run with it and accept that is how your team want to use scrum at that moment in time.

Thanks Ghu agile never actually took hold here, despite them hiring an entire team of consultants to implement it throughout the organisation.

The problem here is that it partially took hold. Some people took the time to learn how it works and are all in, but others are entirely resistant to the idea of change. One tester in particular complains all the time about how our process is flawed and needs to be changed, but now that we are trying to change, he just complains that changing won't achieve anything...

I work for a bank, a more conservative organisation I have never heard of. The sheer inertia of this organisation will defeat any radical or even mild change. Senior management decreed change will come, the drones just keep on doing what they have always done. I have tried to implement a bug reporting system a few times, I still have to work with excel sheets and emails bah
