The Selenium IDE is a cool Firefox Plugin. It monitors your actions and writes out a Selenium script for you as you go.

Combine this with the Rails Selenium Plugin and your testing just got way easier.

Shrub's Foiled Terrorism "Story"

Posted by Stephen Waits Mon, 13 Feb 2006 16:33:13 GMT

Honestly, when I heard the story on the radio, I immediately thought it was totally made up. It had all the catchy words in it. It was about foiling a plot that would hit the largest building on the west coast. The terrorist was going to use “shoe bombs” to penetrate the cockpit door and crash the plane into the building.

Luckily, according to Shrub, his system of illegal wiretaps can help to prevent this “attack”. He fails to mention that his administration can just as easily prevent such terrorist attacks, if we pretend for a moment that the whole story isn’t completely made up, using legal wiretaps.

After so many extraordinarily blatant lies, how does anyone believe anything this idiot says?

Anyway, here’s an article which analyzes Shrub’s fancy “story” a little more than I’m capable.

Secure Flight Suspended

Posted by Stephen Waits Mon, 13 Feb 2006 16:00:54 GMT

The TSA has suspended Secure Flight. But don’t get to excited. Bruce Schneier blogs about it here, where he says such a program is mandatory under current law. It will be back, with a new name.
