Hi Folks. Ever used Job DSL plugin for Jenkins? What is that you say? Well, it’s TEH most awesome plug-in for Jenkins to have, because you can CODE your job configuration and put it under source control.

Today, I would like to write about a part of it which is even more interesting. And that is, extracting re-occurring parts in your job configurations. ...

Hi, This time I would like to write about something that interests me. I wanted to try out a pure JavaScript web framework. My choice is: Meteor. Looks interesting enough and it was recommended by a friend of mine. So, let’s dive in. Installation As always, one starts with installation. The page tells us to follow this simple step: curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh Easy enough, when you are on Linux. Turns out, that there is no official release yet for Windows. I’m in luck then. After running the command though, I saw this popping up into my face: ...

Hi Folks! I just wanted to share with you my mind map on the seven principles of Context Driven Testing. I used the notion of dragons since it’s seven. And a dragon is usually seven headed in my mind. So without further ado. Click for larger image.

Hello. So let’s clarify this. They rarely or ever work if you are a beginner blogger. If you have a reputation it will probably work or people will use it as a reference. But I’m skipping ahead. Beginnings When you are a beginner blog writer you want to get out as much content as possible. Write mostly relevant things and interesting information because you need to establish a name for yourself.

Hello guys. I’d like to share a little something with you. It’s what I cooked up in Python to check an unknown number of content items in a web application. Basically the script runs from a script folder under Grails. It goes through all the configured folders where there is static content like images, javascript, css and so on and so forth. And then with curl it calls these items up in using their respective paths’. This works best on localhost if you have your local environment configured to access these elements because in some places direct access is restricted. ...

The ability to navigate and edit without the use of arrow keys or mouse chops of a large portion of your time which you didn’t even realize you are wasting until you try it without it. ...

Hi folks. I’d like to share today something with all of you. I’ve been thinking about how technology affected my life in the long run. And how I perceive the world today around me. So let’s go around this topic for a little bit shall we? The Past So as somebody who lived for a while without technology coming near family for a decade or so I have a little bit of past in me without smart phones, gadgets, tv or computers for that matter. Much times needed to pass as my family slowly got the money to gather to buy us our new part of the family the ZX Spectrum. ...
