Power of the marginal
Over lunch discussed what needs to be done in lego. Note the old notes (sticky notes) from what seems years ago when we sketched out a system. The blue, yellow, red 4 connector stack is what we are concentrating on. Each colour is a particular module in order of importance downwards.
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

'... Where did you learn this
"lego" technique? ...' Using cultural advantage as a tool
'... As a small startup, we are undercut
& outgunned in sheer numbers by Indian
companies. We can be outspent by US companies
& outconnected by UK. I'm simply
applying a native Australian cultural
advantage - an ability to innovate with bare essentials
& minimal resources software & lego googles history Odd stares over lunch Russell ) and myself, went to lunch with pens,
paper, books, folders and a whole heap of
lego & assigned these blocks a layer of
code. Really they could have been functions,
objects. We got a few odd stares, but what
came out of it was a series of blocks
representing a series of modules we thought
could solve the problem.Visualising clickable objects SAP Inside the Secret Software Power ). SAP & pluggable modules How? think how they can come together . Each block or module is uncoupled. That
means it does one thing & one thing well
(an old C idiom). If we want to build a foo
application it may take lots of bar objects
to achieve a particular task.Why? For example More application Lego idea. As we build the machines we spray
paint each machine a different colour for
different purposes. I'll add shots at a later
date (when the paint dries).

> very interesting the Australian way of
innovateRussian FBI Mole & suspected spy, Robert
Phillip Hanssen (you could insert any resouce starved
person here) Hanssen utilised the fact that
disk drive travels missed a small portion of
the floppy disk probably due to % errors on
read/writes & modified his disk drive to
move & copy data to it. Dont tell me what it should do but what is it
capable of read more about it here . I think the point is if you have the time
& need you can find a way

'... Another advantage of being an outsider
is you have lots of time. Successful people
often answer, to the question on what’s wrong
with their life, that they don’t have enough
time. ...' '... outsiders are compelled to make things
that are cheap, because they have very
limited resources... The insiders can’t make
it as cheap or as small as the outsiders,
they have to work on big projects, which
will, by their sheer size, impress people.
Small things are magical, Graham says,
because they can be done fast and seem
perfect, and working on small things is a
good way to learn. [0]Reference casperfabricius.com/blog/2006/06/24/railsconf
