Tuesday, I spent my time:
- Confirm and verify bugs
- There are now no unread mails to [email protected]
- Mentoring eletido (aka Jon of gamer-station.net) in basics of QA. Fast learner!
Tasks for Wednesday:
- Confirm and verify bugs.
- Feedback mail has grown to 2926 unread
- Test Photo Browser and Uploader
Tasks for soon:
- Work with community on strategy that with submitter’s permission feedback goes to community, unless submitter wants private feedback.
- Work with Mercurial and build instructions.
- QA stats for community contribution.
Let me know if I can help with those build instructions!
@vera: Thanks Vera. The challenge currently is technical content. As soon as I can, I will wash my hands of it, and give the mess to you.
Let’s everybody remember to send two emails to [email protected] whether we have a question/bug or not. Just to say hi.
Thanks Bill, you keep me honest… or at least guessing. Now why can’t I comment on your blog?
RE my blog: You’re not looking hard enough
Seriously, my movie blog has comments and many of the political blog posts are open though both auto-close after a couple of weeks for spam avoidance. The main blog doesn’t have them because it’s so old we had to ride over to Ev’s apartment to post new entries and there was no comment capability. I don’t care too much for the way they’ve implemented it now plus I don’t want to take the time to keep them cleaned. Anyone who really wants to reach me can click my name and send a message; I have enough groupies as it is.
A good sense of humor is important for someone working in software QA!
HO HO HO Bill! A blog with comments is a tease, and one that I don’t visit again. Automattic’s Akismet is your friend.
um… “The main blog doesn’t have them because it’s so old we had to ride over to Ev’s apartment to post new entries and there was no comment capability. I don’t care too much for the way they’ve implemented it now plus I don’t want to take the time to keep them cleaned.” Akismet is a fine offering but does not work for Blogger blogs. Blogger does not have an export function and the workaround doesn’t work for blogs with more than 999 posts or which are more than 999 days old. Coincidentally this limitation was the subject of a flurry of emails on the blogger-dev mailing list just today.
BillSaysThis, very interesting regarding Blogger! That seems to suggest Blogger (Google) needs work in their Attention Trust!
You could say that, I wouldn’t disagree. My biggest disappointment with Blogger since Google bought them is the refusal to add a few more people to the engineering team.
