I look forward to these, they are well written and I learn from them. Putting them on a blog and notifying the mailing list that a new blog post is up with the headlines from the content would also work very well. > = New tricks = > > * frankban: ``apt-get install stress`` > > The stress command is a cool debugging tool that is good for seeing how > testrunner works on a loaded machine.

I tried checkmarkable briefly, and feel like yet another tool is not worth it for something (checklists) which can so easily be done in a google docs spreadsheet or a google docs form which records results into a spreadsheet. I have no objections to folks using it, just feel mildly skeptical that it's worth pushing the tool. -- Elliot Murphy | https://launchpad.net/~statik/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
