A couple of month ago I was introduced by a colleague to f.lux.

At first I thought, hum ok another software that will just eat some memory for nothing. But after 2 days, in fact 2 evening, yeah I work a lot in front of monitors, I was conquered and I recommend this tool to all like me that spend their days and nights in front of monitors!

The other day I posted about “Automated functional tests using Watin and MSpec” which we do at Jobping as a spike to automate our functional tests on our ASP.NET MVC 2 site.

Yesterday evening I was facing an issue in my base class WebBaseSpec which led to really strange side effects. Basically when I was running one unit test alone it was Green, running all or more than one unit test will fail miserably with the well known STA issue of Watin.

We have updated our url shortener for Jobping. jobp.in has moved along to Version 0.5. While maintaining as little features as possible!

Since the initial version we have placed a restriction(web.configurable) on the domain names that the shortener will shorten. We did this so only domains under jobping.com would be processed by the shortener. We wanted to maintain the integrity of the jobp.in domain. With this in place you can be sure that if you click a link shortened by http://jobp.in  it will always go to our site www.jobping.com site.

I am conducting a spike for a couple of evening on the way we might automate our functional tests at Jobping. 

I started with Watin and MSpec and the MSpec excellent plugin for ReSharper 5 which gives the following great outputs directly from Visual Studio

Yesterday I got the new issue of MSDN Magazine in my mailbox and as often I started to go quickly around it to get an overview of what kind of subject’s it talks about. And as often I end up at the last page’s article which is the first I am reading.

This time David S. Platt is writing about “Fundamental Laws” which start like that

Day after day I find little gems in IntelliJ 9 that just make me more productive and give me more time to deal with the real interesting things.

Today for example I had to change a web.xml file which I was said that I should take care not to commit because if this file would go to our customer than we would have a problem.

Today at Innoveo Solutions  I work on CSS and XHTML for our Skye® product.

I am using JetBrains  IntelliJ 9 since a couple of weeks now and I enjoy it very much.

As you might have read on Didier’s blog or even on Innoveo’s blog I passed the ScrumMaster’s certification end of last year. Yeah I know I am late to post this ;-)

I must say that the course held  by Jimi Fosdick was interesting and brought me some new idea.

We at Jobping use different Open Source projects so we thought it would be nice to participate by giving back also to that eco-system. This is why we realized Jobping Open Source Short URLs Service 

The project goal was to have our own branded short URL service: http://jobp.in
