Are You Really a Software Tester? by David Whalen

without comments

I have just read Are You Really a Software Tester? by David Whalen. It is a short, funny story. He describes how he tested search feature of computer terminal at the local bookstore. It reminded me of numerous times when I was in similar situation.

Tests and How-To Documents (2)

without comments

I have already written about Tests and How-To Documents.

How cool is this? If you have one of those cool browsers like Firefox or Opera, this page is even cooler. :)

The essence of that page is made automatically while my tests were running. My developer added a little CSS and JavaScript (Mootools) magic to it, and now it looks really nice. Please notice that it is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict.

Connect Gmail and Google Calendar

with 2 comments

I just love Gmail.

I am just trying Google Calendar, and it looks good.

What I would like to see is Gmail and Google Calendar connected. There are contacts in Gmail. I would like that there is option to add birthday/anniversary field to contact and option to automatically include birthday/anniversary of that contact to my calendar (like Outlook has).

I listen to Gmail Podcast. In Suggest Features episode I found out that I can suggest that feature to Gmail team. If you think that is good idea, go to https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_suggest/ and write something like:

Connect Gmail and Google Calendar – add birthday/anniversary field to contact and add option to automatically include birthday/anniversary of that contact to my calendar.
