שילוב אנשים עם מוגבלויות במסגרת תהליכי בדיקות תוכנה
במסגרת מפגש של קבוצת מנהלי הפרוייקטים שלשום בערב הוצגה פעילות של חברת AQA הפועלת לשילוב אנשים עם מוגבלויות בתהליכי בדיקות תוכנה. מקור הרעיון הוא בדנמרק - כאשר בנו השלישי של טורקיל סונה אובחן כלוקה בתסמונת אספרגר, ניסה אביו לבחון אפשרויות תעסוקתיות הולמות לבנו. הוא זיהה שלבנו יש אינטליגנציה טובה מחד, קשיים חברתיים מאידך וגם תשומת לב לפרטים, כושר חזותי מפותח, דייקנות, קפדנות, דקדקנות וצורך בחזרתיות. כישורים אלו מהווים יתרון בבדיקות תוכנה, בעיקר במקומות שבהם יש משימות בדיקה שוחקות. הוא הקים חברה בשם...

How to remove MSI dependency on .NET Framework 1.1
I wanted to install some tools for my presentation about Developer's Toolbox at the Oracle .Net Forum and one of the tools that I wanted to show was Roy's regulator.

One thing that I really hate about IE 7 is that whenever it crashes it doesn't bring back the URLs I was watching... and unfortunately IE7 does tend to crash much more often the Firefox !

Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack
For anyone who started distributing Office 2007 documents and ran into the problem of enabling non Office 2007 users to open his documents this compatibility pack is a must.

So from now on... when you send an Office 2007 document to someone... add a link to this pack just to be sure that the document...
Google Code Search
I was looking earlier today for some sort of code implementation as I was just too lazy to code it myself... then I remembered about google code search ... After 20 seconds I had some kind of implementation in my hand and yep I also looked at the license to see that its royalty free :-) P.S. small tip... use the advance search to limit to search to C# or whatever.
