Change wmv Extension to wma Update

with one comment

Yesterday I wrote:

Did you know that if you have a file with wmv extension you can listen to it on your mp3 player?

I remembered that I have heard that in a podcast, but I could not find that podcast in the time of writing. I found it today. It is Venkat Subramaniam and Andrew Hunt Talk Agile from a podcast that I do not listen regulary, .NET Rocks!.

From that episode transcript:

All someone needs to do is rename the WMV File to WMA, and it becomes audio only, and then there’re so many tools to convert that to MP3 if your MP3 player doesn’t support WMA.

Change wmv Extension to wma

without comments

Did you know that if you have a file with wmv extension you can listen to it on your mp3 player? All you have to do is change it’s extension to wma.

I have heard this on a podcast, but I do not have the link to it right now. I will try to find and post it soon.

You can go to http://testingeducation.org/k04/video/ and download a lot of good videos that will teach you how to test, and than listen to them at your mp3 player.

Enjoy!

Mailing Lists That I Read Reloaded

with 2 comments

A few days ago I listed mailing lists that I read. I have obviously written it in a hurry, because I forgot a few.

Here they are (alphabetically):

  • Arachno Ruby forums
  • Watir lists
    • wtr-core
      People who are supporting Watir, including contributors, evangelists, anyone who answers questions from newbies and people who’ve given us useful advice.

    • wtr-development
      Discussion of Watir versions under development

    • wtr-general, also available at OpenQA Forums
      The wtr-general mailing focusses on using Watir for testing web applications, but actually questions and discussions about any aspect of using Ruby for testing are welcome. We’ll even tolerate the occassional bit of Perl. Postings for jobs using Watir are also welcome.
