I want to play more with the combination of behaviour-driven development and Selenium IDE. Stuff isn't clear in my head yet and I'm not entirely sure what I'm aiming for.

We're enjoying ourselves so much I'm wondering if it's illegal. We're working in a 4-man team with a new client (who consult for the Lean Enterprise Academy) and we're experimenting with some new techniques. Our goal is to create a product that is very kind to its users, so we're trying to stay as close as possible to the users' conceptual...

We put a new Web site live recently. It's called commutineer.com and it's a bit of an escape from the drudgery of UK commuting. Commuters can have conversations, share news, rant, be cool, flirt, and stand out in the crowd. They can form tribes around topics, stations, rail lines and networks. And earn vitality points, compete for top spots in...
