Testing, Testing, Testing – the dreaded curse of software development. From case scenarios to pass/fail – from white box to black box I get bored with repetitive tasks. However, it’s important and for QA (ISO and CMMI) it’s essential.
So for testing we need test data – I usually run out of names or data so have check out http://www.generatedata.com/ that generates pretty accurate demo/sample/test data for use in testing. It also exports to popular formats like HTML/Excel/SQL/XML so you can actually import it directly and continue testing. Pretty cool site check it out.
Happy testing ….. (NOT!)

Whenever I try to register a new .co.za I get the issue with the registrar file …
COZA: FAIL: Can not decode base64
Decoding of application requests from Base64 is not supported as yet.
Please resubmit your application in clear (or quoted) ascii. This is
probably because you are sending from a Windows PC – and have possibly
imported the form into a Word-Processor like Word. As this
application has to be scanned electronically – this makes it very
unsuitable. Please therefore save the application in ‘.txt’ format and
resubmit in ascii.UniForum South Africa

A wonderful useful mind map …
I love reading management and leadership books – however I don’t have the time sometimes to read hundreds of pages – in comes getAbstract ..

Sometimes you just need to edit the cursed .htaccess file and on the Mac by default the file is “hidden” – here’s how to show all.
To show all hidden files and folders, in Terminal in OS X 10.9 Mavericks:
[wc_code]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder[/wc_code]
Getting back to cleanliness:
[wc_code]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean false ; killall Finder[/wc_code]
To show all hidden files and folders, in Terminal for earlier versions of OS X 10.8 and prior:
[wc_code]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE ; killall Finder[/wc_code]
Getting back to cleanliness:
[wc_code]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE ; killall Finder[/wc_code]
Or if you lazy and would like an app (there’s always an app) – download this (FinderRevealer.zip (app))
A great free way to learn to code http://www.codecademy.com/ if you interested in any development. Simple and very effective.
