Polly Paulusma whose debut album Scissors in My Pocket garnered rave reviews has announced a new album called Fingers & Thumbs to be released in May.

 

If you like your slightly folksy female singer song writers in the vein of Joni Mitchell and Kathryn Williams. Her record company have an glowing (obviously) bio of her here which will give you more of a sense of her musical styling.

 

Polly according to her website will doing a live acoustic performance as part of Channel 4 radio’s music show The Tube.

 

Note – Polly’s website is annoyingly not RSS enabled – so if you want to keep abreast of her activities you’ll have to sign up to the news letter!

No Rock And Roll Fun: CD Wow heading back to court

22 Thursday Feb 2007

Surprisingly the news that the BPI are taking another pop at CD-Wow hasn’t really reached the mainstream news – article here – Link to No Rock And Roll Fun: CD Wow heading back to court on the case.

You would think that the BPI would be better of trying to level the pricing playing field. Although that would probably hurt their members profits as UK is on of largest music buying nations based on purchases per person.

Software Test Automation

22 Thursday Feb 2007

Posted by mp3monster in mindmap, Technology

≈ Leave a comment

Having looked at the book Software Test Automation to see if I can get some ideas on how to improve our continuous test cycles at work, I created a mind map of notes as I went which can be found here.

Software Test Automation
For an experienced Architect / Development Manager  a lot of the books content was simply an expression of what I already knew – through experience and reading over the years.  For me at least the interesting part of the book is the approaches to calculating ROI on test automation which put some underpinnings to what I had felt intuitively.  The bit I’d not really connected up in my own mind was the use of measurements (metrics) on the test automation to continue determining where to best expend effort.  The last area of more interest was the case studies of several significantly sized organisations.

My only criticism of the book, although it is never stated, there seems to be an underlying bias towards heavier project processes rather than the rising agile styles, which if anything need more of the automated (read continuous) testing techniques.

Overall, I’d say the book is pretty readable – an achievement for a subject that isn’t particularly exciting even for a techie.  For the less experienced person I’d recommend it as a read.
