nutshell — Lettuce v0.1.2 (barium release) documentation - lettuce is cucumber for Python. cucumber is BDD for Ruby. BDD is behaviour driven development - first you write BDD stories, then you write the code and a small Python module that connects the story with the code. This automatically generates the test code. It looks a bit silly at first glance, but has the advantage that test cases actually orient themselves towards specified behavior and are not simply abstractly programmed into the woods. In combination with testcase-pro-bugreport, this provides a quite usable test environment.

SSH on the iPhone at last | The 23x blog - "termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@" in the .screenrc for support of scroll gestures is the most important part of the article (and on the iPad, ssh is also quite fun - a decent server machine and you can comfortably script in the armchair with the iPad, maybe even a Bluetooth keyboard ...)

Copyright reform: Justice Minister fills third basket - Golem.de - um, hello Mrs. Minister, you are a politician and from the FDP. Could you please stick to the prejudices of bloggers and demonstrate complete ignorance of technology? Something like your obvious recognition of the link as a fundamental means of the internet, something like that, I don't want to see again, ok? And anyway, why do you make a few of the opinions of bloggers and creatives your own at the same time? Doesn't that violate copyright? And anyway, how do you come to openly name the weak point of the cultural flat rate right away? Shouldn't that first be determined through 50 committees? Can't you, like other politicians, simply reject the whole thing as communism? Ok, with the strange suggestion that providers should automatically (without analyzing or collecting data) notify users when they do something forbidden, you try to pull it out a bit again, that has something of typical politician thinking. But the impression still doesn't quite disappear that you actually know what you're talking about. But that just doesn't work. That fully violates all the rules of politics.
