What would Kwai Chang Caine do?

What would Kwai Chang Caine do?

we've all heard of "What would Jesus do?", but at this point I am more interested in what Kwai Chang Caine would do;

here are just a few great quotes from the Kung Fu series, I don't want to list too many as each should really be cherished on it's own...

"If one's words are not better than silence, one should keep silent."

"In every loss there is gain. As in every gain there is loss."

"Our soul does not keep time, it merely records growth."

And my favorite...

"I seek not to know all the answers but to understand the questions."

Kung Fu revisited

Kung Fu revisited

I recently got a chance to watch the first season of 'Kung Fu' (starring David Carradine) on DVD; I had not seen this show since I was a kid. I really did enjoy it then, but I really appreciate it alot more now and for different reasons; then it was all about the kung fu action, the wild west and Shaolin priests;

It is amazing how this show doesn't really feel very dated, well maybe just a little but in that cool 1970's kinda way. I highly recommend that you watch this show - especially if you have never seen it.

Check out http://www.kungfu-guide.com/ for indepth information on the show or just go to Amazon and order the first season - you will not be disappointed!

Selenium and file uploads

I have recently started using Selenium for testing web applications; pretty sweet (you know it had to be good coming from ThoughtWorks); anyhow I ran into an issue with testing File uploads; after a couple of Google searches it turns out that Selenium is using javascript requests to manipulate all the html controls and there is a built in security feature (in the browser) that does not allow file uploads to be controlled via javascript. This is probably a real good thing, I sure wouldn't want personal files being randomly uploaded to someone else's web server.

Anyhow if you simply change the browser string to *chrome it will work (at least against localhost, haven't tried it against any of our beta sites yet)

selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, "*chrome", "http://www.google.com/");

More on Selenium
Selenium uses JavaScript and Iframes to embed a test automation engine in your browser. This technique should work with any JavaScript-enabled browser. Because different browsers handle JavaScript somewhat differently, we usually have to tweak the engine to support a wide range of browsers on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
