What a great conference and a start to 2016! I had really nice time during my visit to Université Libre de Bruxelles. Surrounded by really intelligent and skillful people. Clasroom full of top notch speakers (although some had a very strong accent heh), eventually I decided to share some of…
Good day nerds :) I decided to do a write up about docker and some weird connectivity issues that i had. So maybe it will be useful for the others as well. In this piece i am going to give the debugging process rather than the direct solution, unfortunately there is…
In this blog post I am going to go over some good and bad ideas for working with servers in general because I feel that for this specific topic the problem is most of the recommendations are bad or inaccurate. First of all I believe that you should have proper…
Whenever there is a configuration management discussion, there is always a debate that spins around "Puppet vs Chef vs Ansible vs SaltStack" topic (ok CFEngine people, don't be pissed, i will talk about it too). In general these discussions are generally bias fueled and leads to nothing but a dead…
Hello Young Culinarians, I would like to share some best practices for authoring chef cookbooks. First we are going to start with two important points when it comes to authoring effective and good cookbooks: Cookbooks must be usable through being a single instance in a run list. That means reasonable(…
Couple of weeks ago a friend of mine was kindly asking me if i can provide him with a list of "possible" interview questions that can be asked to him in a Python related interview. Being in the same situation in the past i know how this can help, so…
It was a few months back i was thinking of what options do we have at the moment to automate linux hardening operations. And the results weren't rather rich in options , thus i wanted to develop a linux hardening automation suite myself. First of all, no system in the world…

At long last... I have finally released my first open source software project...For a good 6 months the project was left in a dark corner in my file system.I couldn't find the energy and motivation as my life was going under major changes back at the beginning of…
OK, I have been using Appium for all my mobile automation needs and the sendKeys performance on Android platform started to annoy me as the automation framework grew bigger, Jenkins takes a lot of time to build our android project. For example, input of text performs 3,5 sec on…
Compatibility testing of mobile products was a big hassle in the past unless your company had a good collection of test devices (even then maintaining a device lab was an absolute pain..) and of course you have to know what will happen if you install your android app on that…
Well, its been a long time that i had to find a workaround for Android Automation. I cannot say that I missed it :) You can find the tl:dr version here : https://discuss.appium.io/t/python-client-pre-filled-inputboxes-set-value-returns-not-yet-implemented-but-it-seems-that-it-is-implemented/483 The current situation with Appium is that there are certain problems while…
I am really dazzled and intrigued by the amount of awful bug reports in Appium Discussion forums. Especially(of course) considering that its a QA populated forum... There are a lot of QA's that fail to ask the right questions and give the right details. Where is the BOX Information…
At first sight i was sure that it had something to do with appium. After opening the issue on their repository, i have investigated and confirmed that the unlock functionality of iOS UIAutomator is broken. I have contacted Apple about this issue, hopefully we won't be retired before they fix…

I stumbled upon this really creative execution of gathering around a cheatsheet about git.While git has a relatively smooth learning curve , new starters tend to misunderstood the concept thus making inevitable mistakes.This cheatsheet could help you immensely while you try to figure out git : git cheatsheet.…
The problem isn’t Octopress, so just calm down for a minute :). The problem is globbing.I started looking at zsh more closely and happened to stumble upon this: >If a word contains an unquoted instance of one of the characters ‘’, ‘(’, ‘|’, ‘<’, *‘[’**, or ‘?’ >it is regarded as a…
