Alfred Kelberry: reminds me of the bus count indicator, or whatever it's called
Riddle Sideways: the others did not know what they should
Riddle Sideways: /listens
Alfred Kelberry: how many buses are required to hit your developers until you lose control of whatever part they've been working on :)
Alfred Kelberry: i'm sure you've met defensive folks who protect their domain knowledge and won't share anything to feel important
Alfred Kelberry: yet if one gets hit by a bus... you're in trouble :)
Riddle Sideways: ah yes, work with one right now
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: never heard it named 'Bus count indicator'
Riddle Sideways: wonder how to look up the title
Alfred Kelberry: i'm not sure how it's called correctly
Alfred Kelberry: heard it at one talk
Riddle Sideways: ah, you can sit :)
Cannot remember Boxy sitting
Riddle Sideways: is there any way to remember what it was called?
Riddle Sideways: how shall it be looked up?
Alfred Kelberry: http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userb...try=3295837104
Riddle Sideways: thank you
Riddle Sideways: liked this part "I think the original term was Truck Number and then later I heard Bus Count. I guess it depends whether you'd rather be hit by a truck or by a bus :-)"
Alfred Kelberry: yea
Alfred Kelberry: i think a bus is more... trendy :)
Riddle Sideways: more public transportation, hit sharing minded
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: contemplates the stilliness after the bus counts
Riddle Sideways: maybe that is where everybody else is
Riddle Sideways: well, need to go bye bye now
