There's a stranger sleeping on my living room floor. Mike Lee went the same school as one of our friends. He was passing through Tokyo and needed a place to stay. Our living room seemed the logical choice.
It's good to meet and host people you don't know but who have some sort of connection to you. You never know exactly what you'll get but it's always interesting and an opportunity to learn things. Last night, Mike was talking about his (now defunct) business venture and introduced me to the concept of Extreme Programming. It's lots of best practices rolled into one philosphy and rigorously followed. I'm looking forward to learning more about it; I think it will be useful to some of the projects I'm working on.
