Friday Linkblogging

I have been remiss in my blogging duties of late. I blame an ongoing love/hate relationship with some l10n test scripting for the upcoming, and stellar Firefox 2.0.

Linkblogs are bad. I know. But I feel the need to post something even if it isn’t my own spectacular content. So, I’m going to do what bloggers do and link to some stuff I found online this week.

First up, is an article by Jeff Canna at IBM Developerworks on software testing. He talks about functional and unit testing and provides a good overview of both in a clear, well-written article.

As a developer, testing is so important that you should be doing it all of the time.

Next is a bit by security super-hero Bruce Schneier titled, What is a Hacker? In summary, he talks about security professionals who “cheat” to find security flaws (aka, bugs).

Sir,

I am a contributor to Mozilla and it’s Hosts at OSL, I take offense to the LinkBlogs are bad comment, I run a respectable Website, wich Informs My Apple User’s of New and exciting hardware, and I also support two of Mozilla’s Third Party Developers, Drumsticks and SimonTheSoundMan, Both of which Build for Branch and Trunk.
If I thought I were doing a diservice to the Community, I would not spend the long hours it takes to properly maintain a website/webblog.

With All Due Respect,

Hi Ray,

I intended that comment as a bit of tongue-in-cheek jab at myself more than the blogging community at-large. Lots of people do consider “link-blogging” to be something of a weak attempt — it’s what you write when you don’t have anything better to write about. The fact that I was link-blogging while making a dig at others suggests that I really am ok with it.

Thanks for the comment,
robcee
