Testing Distributed Systems with AJAX, XML - Lessons Learned from Google Checkout Martin Omander, Jason Huggins Google Checkout is a good example of a distributed system involving several websites, the end user experience being powered by Ajax interactions, synchronous and asynchronous web services. Automating functional testing for that kind of architecture is a challenge. In this session we will provide an overview of the Google Checkout product and API, then present Mendoza, an open source testing framework that we use for functional testing of Checkout API integrations, using Selenium and a java test server. Mendoza has been designed in a generic way and can be leveraged to perform functional testing of any distributed system of similar architecture.

"In this first lecture of the course, I would like to give you an outline of the new understanding of life that is now emerging at the forefront of science. As I mentioned before, it is a conception of life based on systemic thinking and some of the new concepts and mathematical techniques of complexity theory. It allows us for the first time to integrate the biological, cognitive, and social dimensions of life".

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2006/06/26/Will_Wright_and_Brian_Eno Game designer Will Wright and musician Brian Eno discuss the generative systems used in their respective creative works. This clip features original music by Brian Eno. ----- Will Wright and Brian Eno on "Playing with Time." In a dazzling duet Will Wright and Brian Eno give an intense clinic on the joys and techniques of "generative" creation. Back in the 1970s both speakers got hooked by cellular automata such as Conway's "Game of Life," where just a few simple rules could unleash profoundly unpredictable and infinitely varied dynamic patterns. Cellular automata were the secret ingredient of Wright's genre-busting computer game "SimCity" in 1989. Eno was additionally inspired by Steve Reich's "It's Gonna Rain," in which two identical 1.8 second tape loops beat against each other out of phase for a riveting 20 minutes. That idea led to Eno's "Music for Airports" (1978), and the genre he named "ambient music" was born. The Long Now Foundation was established in 01996* to develop the Clock and Library projects, as well as to become the seed of a very long term cultural institution. The Long Now Foundation hopes to provide counterpoint to today's "faster/cheaper" mind set and promote "slower/better" thinking. We hope to creatively foster responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years - The Long Now Foundation

A Girl and her gaming systems. I DO NOT SMOKE. I AM NOT A SMOKER. I just did this for the video- I am 100% pure evil. I'm not playing emo- not that it should really matter though- however the gaming system called me emo which is supposed to be funny because the gaming system is obviously depressed with the break up- so if you didn't get that- there I spelled it out for you. It's really not that big of a deal! LOL! Special Thank You To TONY! http://www.youtube.com/thewinekone This is how I deal with a real life break up. I'm a dork and the game I am playing is Ghost Recon 2 to which I am obsessively in love with and I hate my gaming system now. I just watched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxHfNfJ5Y-E&feature=PlayList&p=4F64ED1107C96FD3&index=118 Watch it as well- it rocks! Thanks for those of you who pointed it out! It's also on my channel page now as well. It's an awesome video!
