We’re basically gonna nick be inspired by this Uzbek cartoon rendition of Ray Bradbury’s There Will Come Soft Rains: Anna, a small orphan boy flicks […]
I did a presentation about model-based testing. It’s here. Click below to progress, or click here for full screen. I’ve written a series of posts about the tool, mostly as development blog, so you can follow the thought process. The blogs are not 100% up-to-date with the stuff presented, so take that as a preview […]
So, here’s a super pretentious post. I believe most people will be familiar with Eisenhower’s matrix for prioritization; it partitions tasks into the urgent/not urgent ones, and into the important/not important ones: The idea is that tasks that are not important should be delegated or eliminated and the important tasks should be done immediately or […]

Regular expressions allow us to describe families of strings in a user-friendly and intuitive way, if you’re that kind of person. For example, a regular expression can describe valid post codes, phone numbers, names, addresses, etc. A regular expression can be translated into a finite automaton. This automaton can then be used to check whether […]
