Red means STOP!

oh! crap. That is my car. Plain and simple, I am going thro' hell with the insurance company right now. Even though the other driver accepted fault that she jumped the red, with the cop on scene, and the incident report clearly says so, the insurance company "respectfully denies liability"!

Now, after being robbed off my transportation vehicle for the next 2-3 weeks, I have to run around for no apparent mistake of mine!

Update [Nov 11, 2007]: The car is all fixed now - and the other driver was declared guilty by the arbitrator. Yay! I got some of my money back. But, nothing to replace all the turmoil we went through without a car for a month and a half.

I took a jogging class this semester at De Anza College, to kick start my healthy living schedule. The assignment paper was to write something health related, something we like and are passionate about. And here it goes:

My first interview - TestGen4Web

Alright, not as big deal as it sounds, Alan decided to ask me a few questions about my experience during my project TestGen4Web,

Before boring you much, here is the link on spikedevnews.

About TestGen4Web:

I am always big on automation, call my lazy, but I hate doing repetitive jobs! Once firefox came out, and was seeing all these wonderful extensions, the idea of TG4W struck me. All I wanted to do was record all the my actions on the browser, and be able to replay them back.

The idea extended to creating automated scripts (HttpUnit, HTMLUnit, php-simpletest) using the recorded actions for nightly testing. Since my company SpikeSource is big on testing and automation, this was a easy business goal too!

After 1 year of successful deployment, here I am the proud owner of TestGen4Web with more than 30,000 downloads. If you are interested, you can download it from dev.spikesource.com or addons.mozilla.org.

I had a lot of help from some of the developers in Europe, and our inhouse UI guru Keisuke Omi .
