Using DbUpdater with MySql
DbUpdater can be used with mysql.
Here are the files you need to jumpstart the integration – DbUpdater-MySql.zip
1. You might need to change the path to mysql.exe in mysql-exec.bat.
2. Modify values in mysql-sample-command-line.bat.
Make sure mysql.data.dll is placed in GAC or in the same directory as DbUpdater.exe. Connector binaries can be downloaded from here -

Online Backup Solution
Finalized online backup solution : JungleDisk. I can run it on all of my machines without paying extra. I get to keep the ownership of my data – by using my own Amazon S3 storage. Backed up all family photos – all 30 GBs. Feeling good ()
Switched to Thematic
I have switched to Thematic theme on this blog over the weekend. I created a child theme after playing around with the customization hooks. I added a widgetized area below main asides, did some css modifications and created a three column, flexible layout just the way I wanted. I am so glad I switched to Thematic. ThemeShaper forums are very helpful. These articles were just what I needed to get started : How to make a child theme for WordPress and How I used a WordPress Child Theme To Redesign My Blog. ()

ScrumEdge (http://www.scrumedge.com) enables agile development teams to better organize and manage project deliverables, allowing them to deliver high quality products in short time-frames.
With ScrumEdge you’ll no longer need to deal with shared excel-sheets or walls covered in post-its! The icing on the cake is the ease with which Scrum Masters and Team Members can access their data and view a project’s progress from any location; office, home or even while traveling!
A missing Scrum Tool in this list is
Agilo for Scrum
Agilo is free and open source and you can add a subscription for Agilo Pro which contains additional features and professional support etc.

Scrum Tool is a simple desktop app to support the traditional white board based sprints. It is very lightweight but you can drag and drop stories to sort them in backlog by importance.
You can print story cards very easily.
A unique and extremely useful feature in Scrum Tool is tagging. You can find stories in a long backlog by tags easily.
Current version is freely available for Windows and Linux.
I am here to promote the tool, I am developing: XPlanner-Plus.
You all must have heard of XPlanner, so my tool is based on it. It’s very simple for understanding, open source, scrum tool. It’s ready for use and the current releases can be downloaded on sf.net New features are under intensive development.
there is also GreenHopper (a Jira plugin), originaly developed by Pyxis Technologies and bought by Atlassian on june 1st 2009.

Hi! Thanks for including our Scrum tool – the Banana Scrum – in your list. I wonder if you checked it out after March 2009 – in fact in April 2010 we’ve released a major update bringing a whole new UI and a selection of additional features. It is now also available for installation on your own servers to be run inside corporate firewalls. Would be glad to learn what you think of it now.
