Project Slayer: The Critical Path

A talk abstract pitching a live game of Dungeons and Dragons on stage, dramatising a team trying to deliver a project.

A conference talk mapping Monty Python sketches onto the ways software projects fail: indecision, scope, and nobody expecting any of it.

The recorded video of my Are you a Good Code Scout lightning talk, given for NomadPHP, on applying Scouting principles to code.

Gauging interest in physical Good Code Scout badges and stickers, with a form to ask for a set if you would like some made.

Speaking at PHPNW15: winning the unconference slot, then being handed a last-minute Sunday hangover talk, and surviving both.

What a PHP Scout actually is: the Boy Scout Rule applied to code, and the rest of the Scouting ethos applied to how you work.

Physical PHP Scout membership badges, and the pledges that come with one: leave it better than you found it, and the rest.

My first lightning talk, on applying Scouting principles to writing software, delivered in full Scout uniform to a room of developers.

A free open-source website for Scout groups: a SilverStripe module and theme with event calendars, section pages, news and forms.

First impressions of a Google Nexus 7 on unboxing day, and the foibles: no storage expansion, no Flash, and patchy application support.
