What do I do with this information as a user? I don’t know how to troubleshoot this - nor do I have time to. Why can’t it tell me what RSS feeds it’s having a problem with.
Of course I searched for the error message using google. 
I searched for “outlook RSS feeds error” and “RSS feeds error 8004010F” neither of which yeilded a link to a solution.
Novell announced today that it would be aquiring PlateSpin for a little over $200 Million.
PlateSpin has been around for about 5 years now. It started off as 10 employees, of which I was one, and is now 200+ people.
I will post more on this later…..just wanted to get the word out
I was playing around with a visual method of designing test - classification trees. I was bored of the same ole’ same ole’ you know. RazorCat is the only software that I know of that visually depicts classification trees. (although I haven’t looked that hard)
As I was signing up I got this error message. What would you do in this case? 
There is no hardware id in the form - ahhhh - I’m going insane It’s almost like the error message that said “Press the any key”
Here is a bug that didn’t impact me very much but I can easily think of a situation when it might.
I was looking for job descriptions to use as an example for a task I was doing. My search of QA had returned 504 results which was fine….until I couldn’t see them all.
In this context that’s fine - but what if I was filtering resumes here. The last 4 candidates wouldn’t get seen. They might be my ideal candidates!!

As I was writing this post I decided to see if I could reproduce this. I couldn’t get it with the “QA” query as it appears that there are only 495 postings related to that.
I tried another generic term “Analyst” - it returned 1821 hits and I could only get to 1000 of these. I used the go to page function - page 40 is the final page and there is no next button so now i’m either missing 821 potential jobs or the stats being displayed are wrong. Take your pick
I was featured in a Globe and Mail article last week on surviving the tech meltdown.

The print edition had a picture of me as well.
In retrospective - if I hadn’t been laid off in 2001 - I probably wouldn’t have become a software tester or if I did it would have been a very different path.
It’s pretty cool to be in a national newspaper. I’ve already had a linked in request and a friend from university, who resides in Bermuda, get in touch with me. I didn’t expect either of these things to happen. It’s all about the network!!!
Aren’t you smart enough to tell me which of the two problems has happened?
Lesson Learned for programmers, testers, product managers, writers, and anybody who looks at software - Don’t put the word “OR” in an error message!!!
Youtube doesn’t handle my video files very well. I’m recording videos with BBTest assistant, exporting them as WMV and then uploading them to you tube. The quality of the video on youtube after this process is really low so I’m experimenting with flash videos. If you have troubles viewing this I’d love to know. Here is an example of how videos are looking on youtube after this process.
I’ve got a problem I’m trying to solve and I need your input. We have a lab of 150 servers and are about to double the size. We need a tool to help with the scheduling of the servers to projects and people. We can’t seem to locate such a tool even though I’m sure we aren’t the first ones with this problem.
We haven’t been able to find any tool that solves this problem. Do you know of something handles this? Maybe there is an existing tool that is used for project management that could be adapted to this use? I just don’t know of any.
Perhaps my Google searches need refining “hardware resource scheduling”, “hardware tracking” turned up nothing of use.
Do you know of anyone who might know someone who has experience with solving this type of problem? If you do – I’d love to hear from you
