TINU went public
As of today my pet project is online and public. So I’d like to introduce it (as a FAQ, however no questions were asked yet): What is TINU? TINU is a unit test framework. The way it organizes tests should be familiar to anyone who used xUnit or something similar. Why another unit test framework? [...]
[.] TovábbEsoteric languages
There are quite a few so called ‘esoteric programing languages’: languages that are funny, witty, interesting or plain stupid without having any practical value. These are kind of in-jokes of the CS and IT trade. They are often used as exaggerations of already existing languages. And this is the keyword we’re looking for. They are [...]
[.] TovábbAll the small things
It still amuses me to no end how small differences in code can make or break a feature. Take todays assignment for example: SCB wasn’t letting a connection through. The proxy failed to verify correctly an RSA key. The difference was that the exponent of the public key was padded with a zero at the [...]

The query analyzer showed three levels of nested loops, lot an’ lots of string comparisons, etc. After analyzing the results we came up with a solution that will increase speed by a factor of 10… just [...]

[.] TovábbQUnit
Some time ago I had to write a few unit tests for syslog-ng Agent. To be a bit more specific: a new release came with the feature of white-list filters (instead of blacklist ones). This means that only messages matching the filter criterias will pass. This new feature required some unit tests, so I was [...]
