Few unanswerable questions….

Hi Folks,

When i was doing my engineering graduation, a lecturer often shoot these questions and i never tried replying for his question. Though it seems silly, might be worth reading and analysing it. Atlast we could end up with no answer from us.

  • Why do a magnet position in North-South direction ? why not it be east-west ?
  • Why do clock rotates always in clock-wise direction ? why not it be rotating anti-clockwise direction ? could you imagine such a clock ?

Stumbleupon

Hi folks,

I always like to spend time on browsing. Almost all internet crawlers fix google as their gateway on information searching. It makes really wonder on thinking about how google algorithm is implemented. Usually when i go on searching for an information through Google, i click on all the links listed out on the first page and the probability of getting successful resource might be 90%. I came to know through a friend that Stumbleupon add-on could be helpful in such case. I am now addict with stumbleupon. Preferences  can be configured on creating account with stumbleupon. When you click on the ‘Stumble!’ on the toolbar the pages related with the preferences configured are listed out on successive click. Also keyword based search is supported with this add-on. Also the page we like can be bookmarked and it will be listed out the account we register. Though bookmarks can be maintained on the browser itself, there might be possibilities of deleting the bookmarks without once knowledge. But the bookmarks maintained here last longer and can be retrieved at any time. I am happy with what Stumbleupon delivering. The stumbleupon add-on is available with most popular browser like Internet Explorer and Firefox.

QEngine – Regression Testing

Hi Folks,

                        In a simple words, Regression Testing can be said as re-running the previously executed test and check with PF(Passed-Failed) report. QEngine bundles regression testing along with WebFunctional and Web Load Testing.  Regression testing configuration in QEngine is also very simple. The available suites will be listed in a drop-down combo and you can select any number of suites for regression scheduling. Apart from selecting the suites, you have to provide the email address, where in the report will be mailed to you and finally the time, when the regression testing schedule has to be executed is to be configured. QEngine provided with recurrence like you can configure the suite to be invoked only once or in hourly basis or monthly etc., When the QEngine server clock ticks the configured time of regression test, the scheduler invokes the suites and start executes the test and finally provide with PF report to the configured mail id. So, go ahead with testing on QEngine and you could feel your easy.

Working Experience on Firefox3 Extension

Hi Folks,
I was held up with a task of supporting an extension compatible to Firefox 3 and that extension was working fine with Firefox 2. I could not find out the traces of how and from where to proceed. I should thank my team lead for his amazing support and also to the mozilla.dev.planning newsgroup for their continuous suggestion. Atlast I should also thank for MSDN and our everlasting friend, Google(www.google.com). Few classes that were written in Firefox 2 source seems missing and replaced with new set of classes in Firefox 3 source. So guys, whenever you are stopped on extension development for Firefox 3, go ahead and post your problem on mozilla.dev.planning newsgroup and you will be provided with workaround at the earliest. Once again thanking all who was supportive on my development phase.
