Welcome to the new new cyber4.org. Some of the content that we can’t quite let go of yet from the old cyber4.org is still here: Himitsu Manga, Kumera and World.

And finally all my travel writing from Japan and around the world has been collected in one place. Sadly, some of the old old content has gone. If you really want to see it, you can find it at the Way back machine.

The Three Legged Pig is written by @cyber4.org">Jim Richards, a project manager in Sydney, Australia. He has a background in information technology and education. Most of the writing is about project management, but as time goes on the scope of this work will change.

So, when we talk about Agile Project Management, Agile Web Development or Agile Management the story of the pig and the chicken always comes up:

A pig and a chicken are walking down a road. The chicken looks at the pig and says, “Hey, why don’t we open a restaurant?” The pig looks back at the chicken and says, “Good idea, what do you want to call it?” The chicken thinks about it and says, “Why don’t we call it ‘Ham and Eggs’?” “I don’t think so,” says the pig, “I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.”

But there’s a joke my Dad often likes to tell about the pig and the farmer:

A preacher visiting his flock in the country happens to see a pig walking around on 3 legs. The preacher stopped by and asked the farmer. My son, what’s with your pig with only 3 legs?

Well preacher says the farmer, this pig is very special to my family and me, well just 2 months ago, I’m working underneath my tractor, the jack fell and the tractor was crushing me. I yelled and my pig rushed to my rescue, dug me out and pulled me away from the tractor.

Well that’s very commendable says the preacher … but …

That’s not all preacher, last week my house caught fire and my pig pulled my 2 young daughters to safety. It even received a hero gold ribbon, from the village mayor.

I understand says the preacher, but that still doesn’t explain the missing leg!

Well like I said preacher, this pig is very special to my family and well, we just cannot bring ourselves to eat it all at once.

That’s one committed pig.
