With all software development – large scale such as a browser, or small scale such as the few lines of PHP that powers this blog – proper QA is very important.

Firefox 2 experience
So, I’ve been testing Firefox 2 for about a day now, and I’m back to using Opera. Fair enough, Firefox (still) renders a lot of sites better than Opera, but to me it’s the whole Opera-package that does it – email, IRC, mousegestures, flipback/-forward (I didn’t realise how much I depended on this until switching [...]

We learned a lot of useful tricks for training Max, and he did a great job throughout the course – as long as there were treats within range… We haven’t been following this up lately, but Max seems to be a very quick learner.
