Moss's Bloglet

About

This is the personal weblog of Moss Collum, a programmer living in Boston, MA. I used to have a description here of what I tend to blog about, but whenever I try to nail down a few main topics, I end up getting interested in something else. If you want to know what to expect, browsing the recent archives should give you some idea.

If you've found this page through Google, I hope it helps. The search tool may help find the exact post you're looking for. If you want to see what I've posted lately, you can go to the front page of the blog.

If you're someone I know, you probably already know about this blog and come here regularly, but if not, please leave me a note: chances are I'd be delighted to hear from you.

If you want to contact me, you can email me at gmail (where my address is my first name dot my last name), or just leave a comment here.

Note that the "Bloglet" of my page title is the Perl script I use for my blogging, not the other, better known Bloglet.

Journal

J.B. Rainsberger has started an interesting series of posts about integration tests for software (tests that excercise several parts of a system at once, as opposed to unit tests), and how useful they, well, aren't. It's a good read, particularly if you're a programmer doing test driven development. I have some thoughts about it, but I'm holding off on posting anything until the series is finished.

I did, however, want to comment on the fabulous irony of these two consecutive post titles:
Why I try to communicate in E-Prime
Integration Tests are a Scam _
