It's true! I've pair programmed full time since 2000, and have remote pair programmed full time since 2010. You've got questions. I've got answers.
I've given presentations ranging from Agile, to Android, to Product Management at many conferences, companies, and Meetups. Once I inevitably mention pair programming the presentation grinds to a halt as I'm peppered with questions about pair programming.
Ok, then -- let's do this thing!
What is pair programming? Does pair programming make software twice as expensive or take twice as long to develop? Do I pair with the same person every day? Who owns the code? How do performance reviews work? What do I do if my pair is sick? What do I do if I HATE my pair? What do I do if I LOVE my pair?
I'll answer any and all questions about pair programming and remote pair programming, from the poignant to the silly. Are you a pair programming yourself? Speak up and contribute some answers of your own!

(Got to) give the people what they want - Amazon Search Summit June 2017Charlie Williams
In this talk for Amazon's Search Summit (put together by Sistrix), I took a look at one of the most exciting parts of working in search - building content that you *know* will resonate with your audience through using keyword data.
As a publisher, you can learn what market to expand into by using SEO data as a form of audience research. You can learn what content works (links for people, rankings for Google) and create reader-led content that helps them as the hero in their story through keyword research.

DigiMeth festival, Centre of Interdisciplinary Methodologies at the University of Warwick.
December 9, 2022.
https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/cim/events/digi-meth/
Workshop facilitators: Janna Joceli Omena, Beatrice Gobbo
Abstract:
This workshop offers methodological guidance for narrating networks through visual network analysis (VNA) (Venturini et al. 2021) and a technicity perspective to the practice of digital methods (Omena 2021). It is divided into two parts. First, we will introduce what questions we should ask to make sense of network building and the key principles of VNA. Second, students will work on digital and printed recommendation networks aiming at narrating what they see.
Main takeaways
Students will be able to explore and identify the main components of a digital network
Students will reflect on the distinction between what is network exploration (description tasks) and network narration (insights, findings)
Students will develop the ability to tell a story about the topic under investigation and what constitutes the network.
Requirements:
Please bring your own computer and get familiar with
Retina (https://ouestware.gitlab.io/retina/beta/)
An example of a network 👉 link.

Digital Culture Meets Data: Critical Approaches
˚ ECREA Digital Culture and Communication Section Conference ˚
˚ 6 - 7 November 2017 ˚ University of Brighton ˚ Mithras House ˚
António Granado and I presented our ongoing work about digital methods for institutional communication and science communication at SciCom PT 2017 - Museu da Ciência da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal. We explored the case of Portuguese Universities on Facebook.

Resumo:
As Universidades Portuguesas no Facebook - Análise de Redes e Comunicação de Ciência
António Granado
Janna Joceli C. de Omena
Como é que as universidades portuguesas fazem uso da rede social Facebook? O quê e como comunicam? Como é que as plataformas digitais servem de ferramenta/ponte para a comunicação de ciência? Qual o contributo da análise visual de redes neste processo? Estas foram as questões-chave que nos conduziram ao presente mapeamento das principais universidades portuguesas no Facebook, a partir de um estudo guiado pela perspetiva dos Métodos Digitais (Rogers, 2013) e de Análise Visual de Redes (Venturini et.al., 2015). O nosso objetivo é apresentar os primeiros resultados obtidos, com base na investigação exploratória que se debruçou sobre duas áreas distintas, mas complementares. Em Março de 2017, com a ajuda da aplicação Netvizz, foram coletados dados das 15 universidades representadas no Conselho de Reitores das Universidades Portuguesas (CRUP). Os dados recolhidos incluíram páginas (todos os posts e interações registadas desde a criação de cada página), imagens da linha do tempo (timeline), e pagelike network. A análise visual de redes permite-nos concluir sobre os principais atores da rede e as suas conexões, assim como autoridade e influência. Para além disto, a análise de clusters possibilita perceber os micro-sistemas de interesse de cada uma das universidades. Após esta primeira análise, selecionámos os posts efetuados pelas 15 universidades durante o ano de 2016 (N=7103), no sentido de obter uma primeira impressão sobre o tipo de conteúdo que estas instituições partilham no Facebook. Os posts foram classificados segundo as 11 categorias propostas por Dumouchel (2014) na sua análise das páginas de Facebook das universidades da Florida (EUA). Deste trabalho, retiramos conclusões iniciais sobre frequência, temas e tipos de conteúdos partilhados pelas universidades portuguesas no Facebook.
This was the official presentation of SMART; a research group of iNOVA Media Lab. Presentation was held at Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCSH), on 6 October 2016.
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
