  • browserstack

    If you are doing web development, then you have the headache of testing your web application on various browsers. What makes it even more “fun” is the fact that on a given OS you might run multiple browsers of various versions. What I have done in the past was targeting “standard” browsers. That was long time ago, and today reality is a little more challenging. Along with the desktop browsers, nowadays there are mobile browsers that are making things a bit more complex.

  • Git Repository on Windows Server

    Our group is moving to Git for code management and we were looking for in-house hosting option on Windows platform. I was surprised to find out that out of the box there are not many options. Rolling your own solution (aka setting it up manually) was not an option as we are a small group that is already tasked with enough work. So I started my search for free or paid options. You can guess that options were limited, yet one product I found has exceeded expectation and was just perfect – SCM-Manager. Easy, simple, smooth integration with Active Directory and Jenkins build server. What else a boy needs SmileNot to mention that it’s absolutely free. Amazing piece of work. Highly recommended.

  • Join.me

    Working with remote team members can be sometimes challenging. Working with temporary team members is even more challenging. IT can sometime get in your way when you need screen sharing, and you need it fast. Typically I’d go first with the official route – IT provided service (in case company provides that service or has acquired it), VNC (if IT supports it), or something else, more creative.

  • IconFinder

    I have always wanted to be able to find free icons for the documents and visual explanations I was putting together, w/o violating any creator rights and yet being able to find quality items. Finally a co-worker of mine, Eliot Negelev, has showed me the site that does it: IconFinder.com Love it!
