OK, let’s get the disclaimers out of the way right up front. Klout.com tossed me a free Fox VIP hoodie to take a sneak peek at the pilot for Fox’s new series Terra Nova.

Good Evil. Bratwurst. I wrote a little while ago. About the advisability of teaching software patterns to beginning developers as well as experienced ones. But it occurs to me there’s reason for doing it that I may not have covered completely. Noted psychologist Adrian deGroot performed a number of experiments with the minds of chess players (you just knew I was going to work chess into this, somehow, didn’t you? He gave players of varying playing strength a few seconds to look at a “normal” ...Then deGr...

I love the feel of them, everything about them. I have a disease — it’s called bibliophilia. But I’m learning to cope with it.

Good Evil. Bratwurst. No, The Customer Isn’t Always Right. 8212; arlen@ 11:15 am. It’s axiomatic these days — The Customer Is Always Right. You’ll hear from all sorts of customer service gurus.

But they were different files, meaning if anything significant changed, I was going to have to duplicate the changes in two different testing files. This, while workable short-term, is not an acceptable solution. Var console rep...

Good Evil. Bratwurst. The story of Jasmine and the Headless Webkit. No, I’m not hitting Halloween early. There’s nothing about pumpkins involved here. I’m talking about testing your javascript. I’m talking sane development practice, not ghost stories. I’d been using jsTestDriver for a while, but got tired of the way it would take off and go navel-gazing without warning, so I looked for something else and found Jasmine. Then I found the Phantom.
