I entered a competetion to win a ticket to EuroSTAR 2013. It features smiles, a roar, lots of testers with a stealth ninja type song I’d like to go, so please consider voting for me
A Story of A (Testing Planet) Bug
I’m a tester. I run websites aimed at testers. Strangely testers seem to get this weird pleasure reporting bugs to me. I won’t tell you of all the bugs that I know exist, but I can tell you of one. The one that made me laugh at first then wonder how we were going to fix [...]
Testing Photo Fun, The Results #testbash

Join Me In Some Testing Photo Fun

I Don’t Do Meetings (And About Being Grateful)
It dawned on me the other day that I don’t do meetings, yeah like doh, it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out!

The more I thought about it the more [...]
