I am reworking my home office and it was time to start with my work place ergonomic.

One of my goal was to cleanup a bit and gain some place on my desk. I wanted to be able to move my two 24’’ Samsung SyncMaster 2493HM monitors so that I can work on paper without going to another desk. I also wanted to be able adjust the position of the monitor easily.

Tonight during the preparation of an usb stick using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download I got an error message about bootsect just at the end of the creation of bootable usb stick. Following the troubleshoot link I arrived on the following

Today, my friend Didier finally pushed his post about Netflix on his blog, Corporate Culture: unusual Netflix example. Some time ago, quite some time ago, he sent me the presentation about Netflix, which had a big impact on me! I liked very much the idea !

Netflix thinks that “as they grow, they have to minimize rules”. Different approach as what we all know, experience, read. And … Netflix is definitely not a startup anymore! I would like to share with you a document from Netflix I found on SlideShare about their culture and some quite innovative management ideas they have put in place. Feed for thoughts ;-)

Following my post about Application Acceptance Testing, we went, beginning of that week, in some very interesting discussions during a meeting at Innoveo in which I presented the differences between Mock and Stub in Unit Test. After the meeting as I often do I gather up from the web some posts which expressed in more details what I was talking about and made some extract of the posts.

This time I found some interesting content follow-up on my explanations on the site of Rhino.Mock framework website and a post from Martin Fowler; Mock’s aren’t Stubs

Today TeamCity was showing me one functional test failure on my WPF application.

I already discussed about this problem here: White’s tip for your automated WPF functional tests

Yesterday evening I found a set of Google blog posts talking about web application acceptance testing which reflect Google experience through “Several years of experience across multiple project teams”.

This reflect lot of points I brought into our discussions either at Innoveo or Jobping; best practices, screen/page object, dev. language, recording/coding, BDD..

At Jobping and Innoveo we are using TeamCity from Jetbrains to automate our different builds.

Today I was asked by my colleague Roy the following interesting question “Can I rerun an old build?”

As said when we launched Jobping Open Source Short Urls Service, we at Jobping are committed to open source.

So last week we announced  StickyBeak, you might read more on the blog of Mark - Introduction to StickyBeak

Today I was listening and some time watching (it helps to have two monitors :) the following video that I got from Jetbrains blog post, Vaclav Pech Talking at JAX 2010

I learned several tips and I think this video shows why I like more and more IntelliJ.
