Clearer Unit Tests: Assert, Guard, and Throw I hate the book “xUnit Test Patterns” for being over 800 pages long. I am convinced a good editor can turn any 800 page book into a 700 pager with the exact same content… that includes you Leo Tolstoy! The problem is that xUnit Patterns is still the definitive reference to test concepts and implementation. There is...

Flow Control in npm
Static VersionFlow Control in npm Flow control is a popular subject in NodeJS. Since most of us learned synchronous object-oriented programming patterns in school, it can be a bit of a shift to really leverage asynchronous functional programming for all it can do. As it turns out, a great way to leverage huge chunks of the node API is to build a package manager. npm has to do a lot of stuff...

Goodbye MySpace
Just cancelled my old myspace account…haven’t logged into it in almost a year and I just saw news they re-designed part of it. I logged in, was still bored so I cancelled. Facebook might be next…I really don’t use it. My online social life pretty much consists of: github.com, buzz, twitter (only via posterous.com) and maybe forrst (still exploring).Thanks...

Notes: Introduction to Node.js
I recently watched the Introduction to NodeJS video which was a presentation by Ryan Dahl about node.js. It provided some great information about where node.js came from, it’s design goals and where it’s headed. Here are some quick notes I took while watching: Goal provide a purely evented, non-blocking infrastructure to script highly concurrent programs. Design Goals no function should...

Reading Code
This week I’m going to focus solely on reading code. I’ve looked at blog posts and even played around with node.js myself, but now I want to see exactly what others are doing with it. There are so many projects on github I should be entertained for a while before I start working on brownbag. Posted via email from mind scratch | Comment »

Fruit Drink Experiment
1/2 banana
1 orange
1 apple
2 kiwis
juice from one lemon
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tbl sugar
Result: pretty good for a stab in the dark. Next time I’d core the kiwi as there were a few center parts that were a bit hard, otherwise pretty tasty.

Thank You: Ubuntu + HP
I’m running Ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook and at home I have a wireless HP printer. I turned on the printer and went to my printer settings in ubuntu. I searched for a network printer, it found it, added it and the test page printed.
This may seem like a trivial operation and one that should “just work”, however, I had little faith that it would, as before Ubuntu 10 I still had to...

Trimming the Feed Binge
I’ve been using Google Reader as my feed reader for several years and it’s been great. However, for quite some time I’ve meant to prune my over bulging feed list. I think it really began to grow while I was writing for InfoQ and has slowly grown over time.
What I’ve found is that there aren’t that many feeds that I actually read and look into closely on a regular...

Android and IntelliJ IDEA
I’m thinking about exploring the Android SDK and on their site they suggest you setup your computer for development before downloading the SDK. It says you’ll need JDK 5 or 6 and Eclipse (if you want to use the ADT plugin).
I figured I’d check to see if IntelliJ IDEA had some Android support (b/c they almost always seem to support whatever I’ve looked for in the past) and...

JavaScript: The Good Parts
I started reading through “JavaScript: The Good Parts” by Doug Crockford (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596517748) and it’s really interesting. I’m pretty much a noob with JavaScript (I’ve barely dabbled but I have used ActionScript3 which is certainly similar in some regards).
Anyways, there are some many quirky things that I never knew and I’m glad to have...

Ubuntu 10.04 and my Asus 1201n
Ubuntu 9.xx on my Asus 1201n netbook told me I could upgrade to 10.04…so after several hours of downloading, installing, notifying me it couldn’t upgrade certain packages and that my machine might be in an unstable state since the upgrade had “errors”…I’m wondering if should have started fresh and ignored the “upgrade” button.
