What I'm currently working on...

It seems like I've been swamped lately with getting ready for a release for a client of mine. This release has been in the works for a while and I'm glad to see everything wrapping up.

I'm finishing up a module that integrates R+L Carriers freight service with Ubercart (one major bug where freight == $0 on some zipcodes is keeping me from releasing it, along with a code audit) along with another freight module freight module from Unishippers that should also be finished soon. Both modules (when released) have an extensive test suite that should really be run on Selenium Grid. So far, one of my test suites takes a day to run on one node. I also have some things to submit to the FL Surtax Drupal module.

Some other things that you'll be seeing soon are Selenium plugins. I like the route that Adam has taken with Selenium IDE (the same one that FireBug has gone - encouraging extensions to it). I'm wrapping up the Bromine formatter extension (this is almost ready for release) and I'll probably be doing one that extends the logging functionality a bit more.

Stay tuned.

MIT's Wikipedia hack

While visiting the MIT campus, I noticed something very cool:

and when I walked into the building:

I felt right at home when I saw that :)

What an awesome way to celebrate the 10th birthday of Wikipedia.

Yet another reason for me to not like Chromium.

Today I submitted a security problem to one of the Chromium developers on irc. Here is what he wrote me in a /msg:

Webcraft classes start today

Tagged:  

School of Webcraft has officially opened its latest courses for sign-up! They have a lot of great courses this cycle, so head on over to the School of Webcraft at P2PU.org to view the open courses list. P2PU is a great concept and if I had the time, I'd love to start a course (sadly, I'm already busy with other things).

For those of you not familiar with the Peer 2 Peer University, it is an open community that enables learning with and from each other. "School of Webcraft" is one of Mozilla's Drumbeat Projects, with the goal of making a course on open web development technologies.

Classes are free to attend but space is limited for each class, so sign up soon.
