Ice cream inside our igloo!
My wife is insane. She made us build an igloo just so she could churn “Back-country Blackberry Cheesecake” inside.
:) @romanandreg and I just implemented animated replay of event-sourced UI test fixtures http://rxtest.dentalle.com/#fixture:separate_post_metals::animate vs http://rxtest.dentalle.com/#fixture:separate_post_metals which just jumps to the end state and highlights the last change.
The fixtures here are defined as a sequence of domain events (AddCrown, ChangeParam, etc.) *not* as synthetic browser DOM UI events. The UI events are generated from them. Thus, our fixtures, tests, and animations are resilient to UI changes.
We’re already using this as an aid in client communication and acceptance reviews. It might also be used in training materials for our client’s customers.
@inkbase requests the obligatory cat .gif to start this blog off. Here’s something better: twirp, my old parakeet, playing peekaboo. I promise this will be the last cute thing I post.
My favourite photo of the year so far: sunrise over Vancouver on Jan 1st, 2013 from the top of Mt. Strachan. (taken by Dave on a fricking iPhone!)
