I've moved radio from my win2k laptop to my win2k desktop, and I'm accessing it from my iBook.

The next step is to redo my category setup, so that the home page category corresponds to my radio.weblogs.com home page, and work/confidential posts are marked so as not to appear on the public server.

This will be a good opportunity for me to actually use UserTalk. I'll write a script which walks the posts table, and modifies the "right" things.   4:48:58 PM    

Isn't this really just optimizing your testing to discover the bugs that would be found in a pre-sales demo or product trial-period, so that your company can start to collect money on the product before it is done?

Yes, I'm being a bit flippant, but this type of testing is best done by expert users. Expert testers should not ignore this type of testing (there is a lot to learn from it), but they should not focus on it either.

On my current project, I've got 2 SE's banging away at the product, and reporting all bugs they stumble across. Meanwhile, 5 expert testers are doing functional and system testing of the same product. And on Monday, I'll turn loose the other QA groups on it (the product is useful in the test labs).

That's my major beef with my new iBook. When I'm holding my son in one arm, I only have one hand free to type with. And the fn and down arrow keys are too far away from each other to one-hand it.

Though I'm starting to really like IE on Mac. The page holder and scrapbook sidebars are cool. I use the scrapbook to hold pages I want to read (I used to just store them in the Radio aggregator, or post them to a non-upstreamed category). And putting a page into the page holder (set to links-only display) makes following hyperlinks easy.
