I find it sort of spooky that the letters of my name N O L A are also the abbreviations for an area that they say might become the next atlantis. The town is under water and more water expected. I remembered the company where I get my domain name from, DirectNIC. Was in NO, LA. So I loaded up their webpage today and found a link to a blog of one of the employees who is hold up there in the office. I chatted with him on IM a few minutes. Its the real deal.

Reduce Stress, Write a Test. Good article. Right now at work, I've put off some coding because i know it will be a pain to test. I've considered how to write unit tests for this, but since the whole page is procedural, I can't break it up. If I re-write it as a class or at least functions, I might be able to write a unit test for it. Posted by Nola at 9:14 AM. Links to this post. Two is better than One. We are both doing some work for Casey Software. Link of interest to me today: Smarty as a sub language.
