Subject: Practice: Pair Programming



I've uploaded some pictures of the desks we constructed for
WirelessDataServices.

L shaped desks are good for individuals, but bad for pairs. So we just
used conference ends on the end of each L.

"WDS Pairing Station" shows the desks just after building.
There are three machines.
- 1 in foreground is a beefy twin processor, only used for pairing,
with big 21 inch screen in the centre of the conference end so you can
rotate it completely around to one of the "personal areas".
- 2 personal machines everything else.
- Chairs on wheels, so you can whizz about easily.

"BigScreensConvexDeskEnds"
- Big screens are great. One big screen gives you better resolution
that multiple screens. It also means you can turn it.
- Notice the speakers. Funky build loud noises are import for deciing
winners of integration races!
- Notice the Kookaburra release token on the next desk along. Only
people with the bird can release.

"DedicatedPairingMachines"
- 6 dedicated layouts.
- before we made another 12 of them down stairs!
- All the personal stuff is on the personal desks. Pairing desks just
have drinks
- Machine at the back by the door, is the build machine (other 2 build
machines are in other time zones with the teams in Singapore and
Seattle).
