Ugh, what a rough night. As I was going to bed, I felt the beginning of a migraine coming on. For a moment, I thought about getting up and taking some meds.

Historical Fallacy
What bothers me most in a lot of articles is the broad brush an author will write with when setting up their main point. It's a natural tendency, one that I've succumbed to previously.
The Problem with Online Content Delivery
As TV moves from the airwaves (hey, I still have rabbit ears!) to pay TV to internet delivery of content it seems there will be some gaps.

Long weekend
Alright, it wasn't that it was long, per se, so much as there were two nights of staying up late and watching the Venture Brothers with Kai and Allen. Up until 2 am Friday and Saturday night. And while I would love to say there was a ton of drinking - the fact is we all kind of took it easy.

Playing with Watir and Watir-WebDriver
It's been a dream of mine for a while to set up a comprehensive testing solution for the product I work on at work. After yesterday, I feel like I may be on track for that dream.
Been playing with Watir (Web Application Testing in Ruby) for a while now but hit bumps repeatedly with frames and getting access to page content. You see, Watir facilitates writing scripts which can use a browser to access web page and do stuff with it. Pretty slick - when it works. But if you can't access certain content then you're SOL.
When I picked this up again, I saw there was Watir-WebDriver out there. It basically facilitates using selenium like code in testing. It seems like it has better support for accessing objects in web pages which is just what I needed.
Anywho, I picked it up and was able to clear a couple of hurdles fairly quickly which ultimately is how you judge any software you're working with. Pretty happy with the results. I want to bang out a handful of more tests and then possibly explore adding page objects to get things a little more abstracted and, hopefully, simplified.
Should be fun.
