» Coining a New Acronym

Just a passing thought that came up during a conversation with J.D. Meier today:

Aggregated Human Aggregation (AHA) - The notion that we choose to collect information for our own personal knowledge base is merely an aggregation of information aggregated by others. Usually, when you find something worthy enough to capture for your own reuse is an AHA! moment.

J.D. and I have had an ongoing discussion about creating reusable knowledge and this pithy acronym sprang to mind. In a week I may be embarrassed that I posted this, or maybe not. Have a Happy Friday!

» Visual Studio Team System Guidance Meets Guidance Explorer

Last year, I blogged a few times about a CodePlex project J.D. Meier was working on called Guidance Explorer (see my posts tagged with Guidance+Explorer). I thought Guidance Explorer had faded into patterns & practices history, but the reports of its demise were greatly exaggerated.

Take a look at this post from J.D. on using Guidance Explorer to mine and customize the growing body of Visual Studio Team System guidance underway in patterns & practices. As is becoming the fashion, he has a short video that shows you how.

If you are a hunter and gatherer of guidance, you'll want Guidance Explorer.  Watch Video: How To - Personalize Team System Guidance with Guidance Explorer to see how you can use Guidance Explorer to build a custom collection of guidance from our Visual Studio Team System Guidance project.  If you haven't used Guidance Explorer before, or it's been a while, you're in for a surprise.  Seriously.
