I am currently sat in the British Library waiting for the start of the London stop of the FogBugz world tour. In theory this is an opportunity to see the latest version of FogBugz but in practice I suspect that many people will be here simply to hear development guru Joel Spolsky speak.

I would like to say that the audience were a real mixed bunch but they are not. It is 99.9% Mac touting male geeks wearing jeans and trainers. If anyone wants to find the stereotypical developer this would be the place. So I guess, by extension, that unless I fill that 0.01% I am a geek too. Not necessairly. Spolsky too runs a small but successful development company and publishes an equally successful blog on the business of running a development company. His views very much align with my own and how I would like to shape AppSwing. So this is an opportunity to further tap into that success and help me find new ways of accelerating my own business.

Post seminar note: I was very impressed by FogBugz and the thinking behind it and this it could really help accelerate the development practices here at AppSwing. I will be taking a closer look with the team at how we might moved from our current collection of tools to FogBugz.
