The Panic of 2008

This week, financial markets truly succumbed to The Panic. The US Dow Jones and S&P500 Indices lost 21%; Australia’s All Ordinaries fell 16%. “Buy and Hold” gave way to “Get Out At All Costs”.

When we look back with the eyes of history, the ninth day of the tenth month of 2008 will be the Black Thursday on which the world’s biggest ever speculative bubble finally burst.

From the Bookshelf

Impulse online purchase - www.safaribooksonline.com - I just signed up for their “Library” account. I actually only wanted to read one book in particular, but I really wanted to read it NOW and there was no guarantee that the local Borders store would have the title, published in 2005, in stock. The temptation to be able to read it immediately for very little money down was too great.

First experience has been good, however the online reading tool comes a distant third to reading a real book or downloaded PDF (Yes, I actually prefer to read on a screen than to read on paper - am I in the minority?). The page turning mechanism is frustrating, given the small amount of content per page and the frequency with which you need to turn pages. It would be nice if it could pre-load the previous and next page so the transition is seamless.

The book I’m reading is Framework Design Guidelines: Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries. If you don’t want to buy the book, then the summary on MSDN is a must-read for all Agile Architects.
