Too many links to write about and Netnewswire is creaking at the seams (well, not really - but navigating 400 tabs gets boring) so here they go - out into the wild.

First off, a load of design-related stories:

• Clive Grinyer: technology doesn't work and design basics>; I was fortunate enough to work with Clive when he was at Orange - a very smart chap;

Then a pile of development-related stuff I've never gotten around to commenting on:

• Location-enabling web applications and using OpenCellID
• Yet more GeoWeb with Geode
• Checking code pre-submission
• Where to test?
• Packaging Flash Lite for S40
• Testing all the fucking time: "sometimes you’ll come to a point where you can’t TDD. At that point, I’ll offer some advice… you most likely don’t understand the problem as well as you think you do. What you may need to do is try it again from a different angle or maybe you need to think larger and stop scoping so small."
