A book about software testing, I need it for a class I'm taking.

Please just remember Tmap is a methodology that will give you many things but as soon as you run into a project saying "we are fully Tmap compliant" you should run like the wind. The best part is that at least everyone will be talking about the same thing when a "Testcase" is discussed.

No method can make up for incompetence but with testing and Tmap it is worse.

If your gym has a pool... get in it!

It is a very basic, small gym so no pool. There is a gym a bit further away with a pool at twice the cost. For now this one is fine and I start out with a fast 1 Km on the treadmill before strength workout and drive my bicycle to the train station on most days.

Sweet purchase on the de buyer gear.
I've had mine about 12 months and it is awesome! 32cm and 20cm pans cast iron because non stick is for scrubs

This is steel, and not cast iron. There is a huge difference in how well you can fend of attackers drop the pan.

But yeah, pretty goddamn awesome, I have a 32cm steel pan from Inno cuisonno and it a heavy fucker that nobody but me can use. This is also the reason I have it, a friend of my mother wasn't using it and it was rathering rust and dust in her basement.

Feels great! All metal, machined brass barrel. Heavy and well balanced. Some cosmetic QC issues but overall very nice. Seems more well made than the Rotring-600.
The mechanism is cool with the four-jaw vise.

Notable shopping from the last week:


New tires for the car, some generic Pirelli stuff. Today I had to buy a fifth because this weekend my girlfriend managed to rupture the sidewall on a brand new tire when bumping into a weird curbstone which was lined with steel. I told her to be happy to ruin a three day old tire as we can replace it as a single tire instead of at least 2 which would have been the case with half worn tires.



A Kobo Aura for my 13yo daughter, she reads about a book a day at the moment and I told her to go to the library or she could start buying her own. At least ebooks are cheaper than dead trees, at least lighter to carry around. She will be repaying me the Kobo in €10 monthly payments over the next year, I wonder if the thing lasts that long. I am a horrible father trying to instill some financial wisdom into his kids.


A couple of really cheap (€1~2) fountain pens, mostly triggered because the pen/pencil chat made me ebay and I found these for no shipping costs coming from China. Secretly I hope they use nice stamps. I bet they are utter crap compared to the Waterman and Rotring or even Parker I am used to who knows, I might be surprised.

Edit! Last week I bought a new side window for my car, some rear end in a top hat hobo wanted to get arrested so he could sleep in a cell so he smashed the right hand window of the car with a brick. At least insurance covered this...

This image is not set up, I seriously found my car like this after the police called me when they locked the guy up.

Now to fill my dream of playing blues. Stupid how you can have a dream like that for 30 years and never act on it. I must be nearing my midlife crisis.

It is Artis in Amsterdam and for those jealous, I paid 200 Euro total for the passes because a one time visit with the six of us would accumulate to 100 euro. Going twice is already breaking even.
That said, there is place for one more as I need to buy a 7 seater car anyway (6 seaters are rare over here). Stupid screwed up car market will have me pay 10K for a mini-van / MPV type of car that has a 100K km and is 6 years old.

I went to Artis, it was good and very pretty but I laughed at what a beautiful enclosure you made for raccoons.

The zoo was founded in 1838 and since the first time I went there and now, many really small enclosures have been either removed, repurposed or enlarged. One of the mayor future plans is to give the parking lot to the elephants for example. No clue where I will have to park so I'll prolly travel in by bus.

Just make sure those aren't pigmented inks. Unless you're using a dip pen, pigmented inks can clog up a fountain pen. It doesn't ruin the pen or anything, but it can be a hassle to clean. Most reservoir pens work best with dyed ink.

I checked and Diamine is sold specifically as fountainpenink, but I dived into the internets.

Seems they know what they are doing, heralded as realy frigging good colored ink which is funny as it is the cheapest per ml we could find that was specifically for fountainpens.

The brisket is actually quite cheap. You'd pay around $45 per Kg for rib eye or one of the other prime cuts but the brisket is around $10 per Kg. Traditional cooking methods for brisket would not take advantage of the benefits of wagyu beef in the first place so I imagine they don't sell much of it. It'll go for 72 hours at 54 °C. It's already booked for our steak, whiskey and cigar night and this time everyone is brining partners so that has to feed about 15 people.
