Test Driven Development

Posted by – 26/06/2010

Today, I opened my notebook and found a short note that I wrote about Test Driven Development which I was trying to summarise the definition and process of it.

Test Driven Development (TDD) is a simple software development technique that can be divided into three simple stages:

  • Write a test first
  • Write the code to make the test pass
  • Repeat (using Refactoring)

Pragmatic Programmer

Posted by – 26/06/2010

I have received a book called “The Pragmatic Programmer“, which is written by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas, from Amazon.co.uk.

Pragmatic Programmer

I suggest that every programmer should read this book. The book is like a bible for programmer which will enable novice programmers to be an effective and productive programmers. Additionally, the book is one of 6 books that programmers should own.

So, This book normally costs £28.99 but I ordered on Amazon.co.uk and the price is reduced to £15.72 which means that I could have £13.27 (46%) (information from Amazon) and I also got FREE delivery in the UK. It took 3 days after I ordered to delivery the book to me at my door.

If I’m going to buy more books, I will use Amazon again because of prices and its service.

How to disable Pidgin notification popup

Posted by – 21/05/2010

Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) comes with EMPathy IM Client. However, I still prefer to use Pidgin for the my default IM client.

One default feature of Pidgin is a notification popup. It is always annoying me when I use it as you can see in a following picture.

nottify

The notification popup is always pop when new contact is online.

To disable this feature:
1. Click Tools and then click Plug-ins (or use Ctrl + U)
2. Tick Libenotify-popups plugin off as it shows below.

Click to enlarge image.

Then you will never see the notification popup any more.

Kodak Battery

Posted by – 20/05/2010

I’m using a wireless mouse which is Loggitech M305. It required one AA battery to enable its to use.

After the current battery is run out, I went to Pound Shop, where you can buy everything just a pound, and found the kodek battery pack. It contains 12 items in inside the pack. For each battery is able to use approximately 2 weeks.

Kodak Batteries

1 GBP = 46.2569 THB on 24/05/2010 (from : xe.com) which means that the cost of each item is just 3.85 THB.

It’s cheaper than Thailand and it’s also worth price ever.

– update –

The battery is suiable for low power pruduct.
