an about page?

I’m too lazy and impatient to go back and figure out how I edited my theme to make a custom about page look good (what? float divs left? tooooo hard) and too proud to admit that it would probably take me hours to do, if I weren’t so lazy and impatient. So instead, I’m just gonna use this post as a placeholder until I come back to it, and point my /about at this. Problem solved,...

Raise Your Game: Day 4

Train your body to be ready to play tired. It would be great if there were ways to train so that you are in such great shape that you are never tired. The reality, though, is that you would probably just find ways to pour more energy into each second on the field. As Seth Wiggins says, “Especially on defense, there is always something more you could be doing. There is another fake or chop stop...

Raise Your Game: Day 3

An excellent insight from Moses Rifkin: Great players don’t just learn the on-field tricks of the trade, they also learn how to talk about them. Whether it is mastering sideline help commands, or finding the methods that best allow a distraught player to listen to your advice, talk is vital in team sports. These skills can be learned like any other, and are extraordinarily difficult to teach. It...

vs gscu alum (aka mark poole and experience): this team was approx 10 older people with tons of experience. they threw an experienced zone defense and got out to an early 6-2 lead on us. howard and me called timeout and we did an amazing job of regrouping to fight back, half was 7-6 in their favor. against their zone D, we put our H stack with rookies as cutters and wings, and the sideline did a...

Selenium::Remote::Driver - mouse_move_to_location

I’ve been trying to figure out how to use move the mouse in Selenium Webdriver. I’m using perl, so I’m using the Perl bindings obviously - Selenium::Remote::Driver has a function called mouse_move_to_location, and the documentation for that is the same as what is provided officially by the Selenium project, and both weren’t very forthcoming with why I couldn’t get it to work. I’ve...

Cronjob not working? Check your cron environment →

Cron is awesome for running nightly/weekly/whenever-ly scripts, but the environment it runs in by default isn’t what you get when you open up a session. Crontab -e and add this to your crontab: 30 08 * * * env > ~/cronenv This runs a cronjob to cat the result of ‘env’ to ~/cronenv at 8:30AM. You can change the time to a minute or so in the future so you don’t have...

Selenium WebDriver, Perl, and Saucelabs.

Last year, Selenium introduced WebDriver, an automated browser program that runs the browser in the same way that a user would. Saucelabs offers a way to test multiple browsers on multiple operating systems in parallel, completely automated, by running the Selenium software and selling time on their servers. Perl is fun. Saucelabs doesn’t have documentation for connecting to their OnDemand...

Using Perl's CPAN Library Without Root

At my work I ssh into a linux box somewhere in the cloud. Since I’m not Ops, I don’t have root access on the box, but I am consistently running into situations where I need to install modules from CPAN on to the box. Without sudo, I was having a lot of trouble writing code with new functionality and not being able to utilize the CPAN library. But, luckily, stackoverflow came to my...

kasiprasad.com: TDD and bug fixes →

kasiprasad: Here is a quick tip: When a bug is found, DO NOT, run off to fix the bug immediately. Instead, I urge you to write a unit/acceptance test first which exposes the bug. Then and only then, should you go and fix the bug. I like this. I don’t know why I haven’t been doing this so far. Each documented bug in our bug tracker (we happen to use JIRA) should have an associated...

Offense

getfastgetstrong: On an extremely simple level, offense can be broken down into five rules: 1. Take what they give you. 2. If you really want something they’re not giving you, try to fake them into giving it to you. 3. If you’re not sure exactly what you want, fake until they give you something, then take it. 4. Actively get out of the way when someone else is making a better cut. 5. Make...
