Moses didn't know what to do any more with those idiots. So he decides to go out for a wander. The pressure was too much. He knew that, sooner or later, they will just crash his skull with a stone. He needed a plan. He needed a way to survive (both him and them!), without ruining it all. Without having ... read more

tl;dr; Latest stable release of PhantomJS is 1.9.7, and you should probably go and download it. It contains GhostDriver 1.1.0 "Banquo", and that's it. 1.9.6, released not more than 2 weeks ago (1 week?), was a coordination went wrong and I take part of the responsibility for it. Just discard that release. What's the long story? So, for a few ... read more

It's long overdue. Last time I have cut a release of GhostDriver (1.0.4) was... July 2013. And blogged about it only in August!!! I gotta take a look at my GitHub commits over the 2013: something tells me that year-in-commits nicely overlaps with my eventful 2013. But let's try to stay on topic. So, GhostDriver 1.1.0, codename "Banquo". This time ... read more

It was 10 years ago. A night just like this one. Winter. Everyone in the house was asleep. Well, Leonardo isn't really sleeping right now but you get the idea. I was alone in the kitchen. Alone with the TV, an .avi file and an .srt file. I had just started watching movies in foreign language and during the week ... read more

Puff, Pant! THAT was not easy! But finally, "normality" seems not too far away. Many things have happened in the recent months: we got married; I helped my lovely wife with the pregnancy (well, she did all the hard work); and, on the 7th of November, we have became parents of this beauty: Leonardo Antonio DE MARINO-SIMOLA Now, we have ... read more

Yes, I'm not blogging enough. Yes, it's a shame that the world can't read my terrible English on a more regular basis. Yes, I'm lazy. Well, here is a quick update for the few eager souls I have let down. GhostDriver I have release GhostDriver 1.0.4 - "Arghan Div". It should be released in the upcoming PhantomJS 1.9.2. The code ... read more

This message is for the few souls that care. This is for the few people that maybe are waiting for me to fix/implement stuff on GhostDriver or PhantomJS (for the latter you have coverage, as the team on that is rich of geniuses - so you won't miss my average-hood). I'm getting married (crazy, right?) and will be mostly off-line. ... read more

After few months of endless nights trying to figure out what I screwed up and where, I'm finally happy (enough) to release GhostDriver 1.0.3 into the wild. This release is an hardening release: this means that it's focused on bug-fixing and very little new features have been added. GhostDriver 1.0.3 will be part of the upcoming PhantomJS 1.9 release, do ... read more

Selenium Camp 2013 has been a great experience. Not only I hanged out with great people, but, for the first time in my life, I also got to savour a little bit of Ukraine in Kiev. VERY friendly people (really friendly). GREAT food. WELL-ORGANISED conference. What else could I ask for? My talk The title of my talk is Getting ... read more

I need a logger for GhostDriver but I'm too lazy to figure out how to use a nice, proper logging library. Plus I'm a BIG fun of old-school-debugging: I just substituted all the printf() calls with console.log. So I decide to make every JavaScript developer shiver in disgust and wrote a small library that enhances the global console object. This ... read more
