Make Jira's Agile Board look like Trello

Make Jira's Agile Board look like Trello

Do you love the simple, easy-to-use, good-looking interface of Trello? But are you instead forced to use the ugly, complicated "polar bear in a snow storm" Jira agile board for your planning, grooming, and standups? Then this is the pill that just might help you survive, allowing you to use Jira's clunky agile board without giving up your sanity.

To start improving your Atlassian experience, use the browser plugin of your choice to inject the CSS code below into your Jira page (Chrome users: I have really enjoyed this extension if you don't have one already).

Extra credit

Hate Jira's annoying issue editing sidebar that takes precious column space and is too squished to appreciate your ticket anyway? And hate it when you click the ticket title and Jira redirects you to another page? You

2013 Reading List

I read sixty-six books this year, one more than last. You can find the full list over at Good Reads, but here are my top picks.

Philosophy

A Manual For Creating Atheists by Peter Boghossian

The best book on teaching critical thinking I have read. Includes "intervention dialogues" transcripts, plenty of research, genuine compassion and empathy for other people, plus a wealth of experience in the author, who has been teaching philosophy and talking about faith for decades.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Timezones: they're here to stay.

// automatically fix obfuscated email addresses pasted into

$("textarea[name=to], textarea[name=cc], textarea[name=bcc]")
.live('blur', function(e){
var text = $(this).val();
var separators = ['_', ' ', '\\[', '\\]', '\\(', '\\)'];
var separatorExp = '(' + separators.join('|') + ')+';
