My colleague and I were working on a feature to apply dynamic subdomain name in one of our rails apps. Since a lot of documentation out there only focus on how to host subdomain app by configuring the /etc/hosts file.

Last week we had the excellent opportunity to host the agile, XP planning game at Plug and Play in Midvalley, KL. We had a lot of fun, and from what we saw after the game, so did the participants – it’s a great ice breaker, and great learning tool to understand the complexities of XP [...]
