Some random stuff

I have some random stuff to share – most of it not worthy of a post, so I’m consolidating.

  • I’ll be heading to Toulouse in a few weeks for a bit of a vacation. Looking forward to the time off, as well as food, wine, and warm weather. At one point in my life, I was almost adequate in speaking a very broken form of French (one that only included present tense verbs and lot’s of food terms) – but I’m pretty sure I’ve forgotten even that little bit of the language these days. Hopefully enough will come back before I embarrass myself too much.
  • My “new” job (I’ve been here 4 months already) is going great. I’ve had some pretty good success with exploratory testing on the team lately, and it’s an effort that a lot of people are seeing value with. I’m also working on some stuff with code coverage, test code quality and code reviews that are keeping me busy.
  • Buried in this post from just over 4 months ago was a comment about my rising blood pressure. I’m happy to say that as of this morning (after a visit to my doc), my bp has returned to it’s historic norms (actually, a bit better – 110/66). Better yet, I mentally and physically feel better these days (and this is before my vacation).

I have a follow up on my SDET Pendulum post drafted, and will try to get it up by the end of the weekend (for those of you who like my longer posts).

  • The Easy Part

    Recently, I was helping another part of the team with a project. Or at least it ended up that way. There’s a particular bit of what they’re doing where I have some expertise, so I volunteered to take care of a chunk of the work where I thought I could help out. One thing I’ve…

  • Rockin’ STAR West

    The cat’s out of the bag – I’m popping out of my no-conference bubble, and making an appearance at a testing conference (STAR West in October). The theme of the conference is “Be a Testing Rock star”, and while I think that theme begs for an appearance from Michael Larsen, I’ll do my best to…

  • Writing About Testing

    I’m leaving early tomorrow morning for the Writing About Testing conference. I wasn’t able to attend WAT last year, but I’m looking forward to the trip, the meeting and talking with a group of great testers (who all enjoy writing about what we do). I don’t think there was ever a point when I thought,…
