Update

Last few weeks have been HECTIC to say the least. Work on GhostDriver and related PhantomJS improvements has been very intense. We just shipped PhantomJS 1.7, and work for 1.8 is already started (check out the ghostdriver-dev branch I linked above). GhostDriver has reached almost 90% completion for 1.0, and the code is being hardened, thanks also to the amazing work that Jim Evans is doing at spotting issues and, a lot of times, providing fixes. GhostDriver is getting better and better thanks to you Jim. ...

Let me give you a quick update about GhostDriver, the PhantomJS WebDriver implementation. Yes, it’s 80% ready for prime time (bugs aside)!!! How did I get from 40% to 80% so quickly? Because I decided that, for version 1.0, the commands that relate to the mobile web driver are out of scope. 1.1 or 1.2 will have them. For details, I suggest you check out the spreadsheet I’m using to track progress closely. ...

For whom might concern. Development of GhostDriver has been “slowed down” in the past 2/3 weeks for unforeseen heavy work schedule. The project is not dead AT ALL. Actually, important work has been done: I have implemented support for window.open() handling into the current PhantomJS master. This new feature in PhantomJS is KEY to unlock a whole set of functionalities that before we couldn’t implement in GhostDriver. So, while WebDriver Wire Protocol Commands were not added, a key blocker has been removed. ...

This post is long overdue. It’s weeks that I HAVE TO write it and yet couldn’t find the time to put it together. Oh well, better late than… Since my talk about GhostDriver at the Selenium Conference 2012 I have received lots of interest from the community about GhostDriver: finally a WebDriver for PhantomJS. If you haven’t followed me so far, a quick catch up: I’m working to implement the WebDriver WireProtocol on the top of PhantomJS, so to leverage our favorite headless browser. The project is proceeding, even though not as fast as I would have liked: you can find details about the current status in the “official” README.md and/or checking out the “Implemented Commands” spreadsheet. ...

Hi. I don’t know if you can notice it, but I just did few updates to the CSS of this Blog. Effects of sleep deprivation (no, I’m not THAT tired) If you are one of the few a followers of my Bloggart fork, you know what’s going on: Page support, changes to the “Squared” theme and more. I’m not yet where I want to be, but it’s getting closer. While I add small features to Bloggart, I learn its intricacies, and discover some small/medium latent bugs. Stuff that “didn’t happen because scenario x was never considered”: this is giving me some possibilities to fix and improve. ...

For the once of you that tried “home made ways” to update their ADP1, like my previously published how-to, this news can be interesting. Google and HTC finally managed to push-out an official page on the HTC site, to explain step-by-step how to update firmware and baseband of the device. I just did it, having a very pleasant and straightforward experience. The phone seems to be way more stable, bug-free and the battery lasts for more then 50 seconds ;) ...

Another update for Detronizator.org’s theme. Say hello to “The Journalist”, from Lucian E. Marin. Great job Lucian! ;-)

Yes, I did it. Finally. It was on my todo-list since last year and I decided, in this moment of confusion and 100 things to do, to update. Why? Because Wordpress 2.7 was released recently, and I decided that I was “late enough”. Codename of this release? “Coltrane”! Yes, like [en:John Coltrane] ;-) . Update: And this update comes from my iPhone! I can finally use the WordPress app.
