Django Windmill Tests – GSOC Progress Update
I feel that a status update is long overdue, but as the corpus of Windmill tests grows, so does the time it takes to run a complete instance of the regression suite. However, I do have some fun progress to report as well as a few questions/problems that are showing themselves now that all the [...]
Google Summer of Code 2009 – Django Testing – Coding Day 1
Among all the excitement of the past few weeks, the start of GSOC appears to have snuck up on me! Started work today on the coverage runner. My progress is easily followed on my GitHub Django fork (until we get real SVN branches). Can’t wait to start posting some real results!
Google Summer of Code 2009: Django Testing Updates!
So my Google Summer of Code: 2009 project proposal was accepted! I will be working on a 2 phase project revolving around Django’s testing framework, and regression suite. Most notebly, I plan to: Implement Windmill test coverage for Django’s Infamous contrib.admin Provide several missing features/conveniences to the Django testing tools While it may not be [...]
Code Review in Rietveld with bzr/Bazaar
I like bzr. Those of us that do (like bzr) aren’t quite as popular as the git lovers and as a result, we don’t see tools as fantastic as Rietveld, Github and Git-CL being spread around on domains outside of launchpad.net. While this isn’t the end of the world, it certainly represented a hurdle when [...]
Things About The Chrome Release That Annoy Me
Ok, I don’t want a long rant about this, but 2 things that bother me. We never care about EULA’s. Why care about this one? It’s an open source project so even the most absurd clause ever in the EULA is effectively unenforceable. Stop whining, let the lawyers tell us what it means and stop [...]
Mono GSOC Projects: Linq to SQLite
So I noticed that one of the accepted proposals for the Mono project is to create a LINQ provider for SQLite. Major props to this (its something I totally want to see!) and I’m glad to see that LINQ in Mono is going to be its own beast, I love it when the FOSS community [...]
Google Docs Presentations: A Major Disappointment
Google Docs has revolutionized the office suite, namely the word processor. Collaboration is easy, smooth, integrated, and automatic, whats more all your documents are accessible from anywhere, and all the common features I need are present. While I don’t really use spreadsheets very often, my few simple instances of using Google Doc’s for spreadsheets were [...]
Google: How do you do it?
So its not a big surprise that an oft-requested feature for Beagle is the ability to index a users Gmail messages (like Google Desktop Search). Today we (the Beagle developers) started to investigate just how this is done. While POP3 (and now IMAP) are available, downloading all of a users mail, indexing it, and then [...]
