Whiteboarding success

Projects Tricks Tips Tools

It’s not 2003 but the web-based Java applet whiteboard I set up then was as good as any obvious solution today. Wtf?

I played with several possible all-in-one solutions and came up short. I’m not paying and I prefer open-source, I would hope pay-to-play solutions are better, but I had to cobble something that works from pieces. TODO set up my own server of Mconf and OpenMeetings. For now, these will have to do:

  • Google hangouts in CHROME ONLY (Chrome is a PIG these days, I use FF – but Google of course providing a SHIT implementation on Firefox, fu)
  • AwwApp yes that is its name and there are many but this one worked on mobile with great zoom support

(We are running all the tests before every check-in, aren’t we?)

I was glad that I baked my tests into the startup of A better Trader. As I build and run while coding, I’m constantly running my regression tests. Steady on.

Node dependency headaches

node-js rad-scripts

My headaches described below were due to my npm module’s dependency clauses’ versioning stanzas. I had set dependencies to automatically update but clipped them to the current minor version. Eventually they got crusty, and npm actually stopped finding the versions I was demanding in a speedy fashion. Both edges of the upgrade knife can cut you, don’t let dependencies get too old. 🙂 Fuller explanation on SO.

Historical blathering follows… (continued…)
