After slipping through some of the blog entries from Alistair Cockburn, I found the following entry: Everyone should be a methodologist. After slipping through the errors of early methodologist in part 2 of that entry, I realised, that I personally ran into point 2. and 3. lately. Likewise I see many times points 4 and 5 forced in my company. Thanks Alistair for reminding this to me. If you got interested by the content, I recommend reading Alistair’s book Agile Software Development – The Cooperative Game, which covers many, many more aspects.

quakenet secure auth script for xchat
r0bert was so kind to package my python script which I use for secure challenge auth on the QuakeNet IRC-Chat. For the new authentication mechanisms for the new Q-Bot I had to do some adaptations which I shared with him. From my point of view there is nothing really special in this script, it’s just a good helper.
You may go and grab it on the link below. Personally I would be happy not to be bothered with too many bugs, since this guy was not really good tested. It just works “as is” for me. :)
Here is the according content from the README file:
This script provides automated authentification with Quakenet’s new (as of 22.03.2008) Q service for the free, graphical IRC client XChat.
Get it at http://www.xchat.org
QuakeNet’s website is http://www.quakenet.orgThe Script makes use of the (new) challengeauth function, so the user’s
auth-password will only be submitted in encrypted form.
After having auth’ed with Q, user-modes will be set (e.g. +x) and
predefined channels will be joined.Fill out the lines beginning with auth_nicks, auth_passes, channels and
modes at the beginning of the script and place it into your user’s
XChat directory, e.g. /home/username/.xchat2 – the script will be loaded
when XChat starts.The script is released and licensed under the terms of the
GNU GPL Version 3.Learn more about the GPL at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html

If you like this thing, maybe I can give you additionally a hint to my sourceforge project on bayesian filtering for IRC. (I know that this needs an update.)
First Post
Finally I managed to build up my own blog. Though you might think that this is “just another blog”, I hope you will find my articles worthwhile.
From time to I would like to cover topics on Software Testing, Pattern Classification and maybe some other categories.
Stay tuned.
