[AccessD] Scrum (was: Find First in an Array? ...)

Thank you, Max.

Yes, I think I can understand that.

P.S. To everybody: let me note that I'm 50 years old you know? And everybody can check what is an average life duration for Russian men these days. Sorry for my mentioning that - just wanted to note that age shoudln't be the main reason of not investing a little time in the new knowledge, especially if this knowledge "acquisition" promise to be more fun than routine coding work. A man is a man until he is ready to fight :) And I use word "man" in a broad sense meaning a human being - all ladies here are welcome to participate in SCRUM/agile Access-D team project...

Yes, I'm feeling some tiredness and apathy here too sometimes - I did live here in communistic state through periods of "melting" in the beginning of sixties, then stagnation of 70ies, then "perestroyka/glasnost" of 80-ies, then anarchy of 90-ies, and "back to USSR" now - all that experience is far from resulting in optimistic view on this country and this world...

...I like phylosophical foundations of SCRUM - that's my world and my community I think - and I will try to actively participate in this community life: during my two days of training I often thought: "My God, that's my World, which I'm looking for for so many years, why didn't you give me the opportunity to experience it 20-30 years ago?". Well, I wasn't probably ready/prepared for living in this world when I was younger - now I hope I realize/see many things very differently than even three years ago. And I must say that SCRUM training wasn't easy walk, but it was a real pleasure to participate even at times when I did see how wrong I am...
