LabEleven (the company I work for) has just re-launched their website. It has taken many prior forms, but this one finally approaches the level of quality we seek with our own clients. http://www.lab11.com Check it out!

I needed to migrate an old website which still relied on an MSSQL connection not supported in our new server I just built. Luckily someone else has already figured this one out (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=350269&page=3) Here’s the gist of it (pertaining to php5): aptitude install php5-sybase This installs the generic support for mssql (FYI, mssql is based on sybase) but is missing a few mssql specific functions for php. pear install –nodeps MDB2_Driver_mssql This command installs those extra functions and everything seems to work. Cheers!

recently tried to revamp my personal habits of website testing. I’ve heard great things about Selenium and how it is really easy to get started via the Selenium IDE.

But the easy-to-use experience ends before it really begins…
