Bacon Cheese Turtle burger

For our next office braai may I suggest something new

Mmmmmmm bacon...............this is a heart attack waiting to happen.

Handmade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese,
Wrapped in a bacon weave.then the next step, add hotdogs as the heads, legs and tail.   Next step?

Place on an oven rack, covered loosely with foil and baked for 20-30 minutes at
400 degrees.  A little crispy, not too crunchy...just how a turtle
Should be, no?

Starting today you are a brand.

Excellent article, and very applicable for all IT professionals who do not know how to progress their careers.

Frequently I encounter IT engineers who assume their career path is the responsibility of their employer. NO, you are responsible for your career. Change is upon us, use your employer as he uses you. Your employer is a vehicle that enables you to gain experience, volunteer for that experience. Take on the difficult projects. Prove yourself and more importantly praise yourself in front of your boss and colleagues on a job well done.

Extreme Programming - Wikipractice

Extreme Programming - Wikipractice: "Listening
Programmers do not necessarily know anything about the business side of the system under development. The function of the system is determined by the business side. For the programmers to find what the functionality of the system should be, they have to listen to business.
Programmers have to listen 'in the large': they have to listen to what the customer needs. Also, they have to try to understand the business problem, and to give the customer feedback about his or her problem, to improve the customer's own understanding of his or her problem.
Communication between the customer and programmer is further addressed in The Planning Game (see rest)."
