My wife and I have a baby on the way; he is due in early May! (The linked post also includes details on what I'm working on for JBidwatcher2.) As I say in the post, we're incredibly excited, and a bit scared. It's going to be ... http://www.vixen.com/blog/2008/01/02/36 Greetings, I want to start by making it clear that I know why testing is good, and that it's really important, but I think that the TDD proponents are glossing over the most difficult part of a project.

June 4, 2007, with Ron Paul (the Republican's Kucinich). Melissa found out about 2 days ago that tickets had become available, and we jumped on it. We got there in line about 3 hours early, and were about ... http://www.vixen.com/blog/2007/06/04/32 Greetings, I'm in New York. Glen Cove, my home town, to be precise.

We left on Saturday, around ... http://www.vixen.com/blog/2007/05/28/30 Greetings, eBay recently launched their Bid Assistant, which acts similarly to JBidwatcher's Multisniping feature, except without the sniping.
