Question: What’s worse than the stomach flu?

Answer: Having your wife and 6 month old get sick at the same time and having it all happen on the same weekend as your parents visit from out of town.

Despite these horrors, I’m back and ready for business with my second Triple Shot installment.

1. Win $100 Worth of Software Development Books! – Jurgen is going to hook the person with the best ‘What motivates me’ answer with $100 of free software books from his chums at Amazon. I made an initial list, but so far everything on it will either get me arrested or kicked in the junk by my wife. I’m going to keep thinking though because I’m pretty sure that if I get rid of one of my cats I might be able to fit a couple of more computer books in the house.
2. SOA & DDD For Everyone – I was trying to blackmail my boss into sending me to this course last month when it was first advertised, but the original price tag simply broke our training budget. Now at $2000 for a week of premium training with Udi, it is a steal. Unfortunately, now personal commitments are standing in my way. Oh the miserable irony of it all…
3. Jeremy’s Penultimate Law of Continuous Integration – I’ve been bitten by this one several times in the last few months. It’s such a nice feeling to have everything checked in before you go home, but waiting to do it until right before you leave to do it automatically conjures up some really bad build-breaking ju-ju. Better to just let your code languish in check-in purgatory over-night than to chance angering the build gods with such a brazen act of coding hubris.
