Comment on Feedly – RSS Reinvented! by Wiertz sebastien

When I was forced to switch from FeedDemon to Google Reader, I was not so happy to leave some functionality behind me (I loved the feedDemon client)
Feedly is now the first app I open in the morning for my “breakfast 2.0”. I have now no fear to add sources to my RSS feeds since I know it will be clearly represented in a “magazine like” interface

A nice article !

PS: I do not see Buzz in my option
PS2: I really like the feedly sidebar !

@llacigart
Ah, I use Feedly in Chrome so I don’t get some of the extra features available in Firefox however I did install it in FF after reading your comment and I can see that being a handy feature. Having a button next to the RSS feed icon on the address bar is nifty!

Hi Andy. Sorry if this sounds a bit mental but a few weeks ago I was in my local shop in Theale, Rading, and the shopkeeper had a big row with two IT-looking dudes for supposedly pushing in front of me (they actually didn’t). After attending your DDD8 talk on Selenium I have become convinced that one of them was you. Can you put me out of my misery but confirming or denying the incident.

Comment on Unit Testing With The ASP.NET Cache by Gil Zilberfeld

Andy,

When you get to it (and you really should, if you want to do unit testing easily) let me know. I can answer any questions you might have.

But really, evaluate it and see if (how, really) it fits into your process. Especially in MVC you’ll start writing less code in order to write the tests.

Cheers,
Gil

@Gil Zilberfeld I have been chewing through it and so far I am really quite impressed. I can see it being very useful in my current job.

Thanks for the catch on the author, I noticed that when I was reading it and head-desked but forgot to update the post.

Haven’t looked at Typemock yet but that is good to know. HttpContext is one of my many ASP.NET bugbears and having to test around it is such a pest, it is good to know there are ways.
