Hi;

It all started with ves. from friendfeed trying to clean her gmail inbox. I advised her to use filters and filtering @the feed she mentioned gmail cleanout. While brainstorming at this feed, she questioned “Whether we can sort mails according to their sizes or not?”  and we started to google it. By default, Gmail doesn’t support sorting mails according to their sizes. One way to do this was connecting to your account using an e-mail client such as thunderbird or outlook with IMAP, but this will definitely be a little bit harder and a longer way to go, there should be an easier way to do it. (For the curious ones, the solution using IMAP is explained here )

At this point, FindBigMail came to our aid. “F*ck, I’ve had thought of something like this before” is what you say when you discover FindBigMail. It extracts and labels e-mails bigger than 1MB, so that you can erase the redundant ones..

In my previous post I’ve told about my first day in İzmir. Internet Conference has ended @Friday and my flight to Istanbul was @Saturday, that’s why I had one more day to wander around İzmir. I’ve started my tour from the famous Historical Elevator.

Historical Elevator and İzmir Panorama

Historical Elevator and İzmir Panorama

Historical Elevator is at the region of Güzelyalı in İzmir. Because of the 58 meters rise between Mithatpaşa and Halilrıfat Paşa Streets, the elevator has been built by a Jewish Businessman, Nesim Levi, to allow people to climb the elevated part of the area that is separated by the coastal strait by a steep cliff with a total of 155 stairs @1907. Later on, the elevator has been restored by İzmir Metropolitan Municipality and a restaurant, a cafe and an hotel has started serving since 1992. I wanted to enjoy the beautiful view and order a glass of beer with french fries. :) (more…)

Between 30th November and 2nd December, in İzmir – Konak, at Ege University Atatürk Cultural Center, 11th Turkish Internet Conference held. The keywords of the conference were “Mobile Life”, “Social Networks”, “New Media”, “Intellectual Properties”, “Privacy”, “Internet and Democracy”, “Internet Bans in Turkey”, “FATiH Project”, “Media/Information Literacy” ..etc.. In this conference, Turkish Linux Users Society (LKD) organized several seminars, two of which I’ve presented: Özgür Yazılım Projelerinin Ortak Çalışma Araçları (Common Tools used in Free Software Projects) and Linux’ta Paket/Yazılım Yönetim Sistemleri (Package/Software Management Systems in Linux). You can take a look at the presentations but unfortunately they are only in Turkish. (more…)

Hi all;

It’s been a few days since I last wrote to the blog. Therefore, in order not to leave an interval, I’ll post something related to my graduate Education.

For those who haven’t taken a look at my about me section, I’m currently enrolled to MS Program in Software Engineering @ Bogazici University. One of the must courses I have to take is SWE 550 Software Quality Assurance and Reliability. Within the limits of this course, every attendant student of should prepare a Presentation on one of the topics covered in the course:

  • “SW Testing”,
  • “SW Quality Assurance”,
  • “SW Fault Tolerance” and
  • “SW Reliability Modelling & Prediction”

I wanted to take an enjoyable topic so I’ve selected “How Google Tests The Software” as an on-demand presentation. Thanks to Mr. Tosun, he accepted my choice on the topics.
There is a dedicated blog mostly written by James Whittaker, Director of Test Engineering at Google:

http://googletesting.blogspot.com/

And he has written (actually still writing :) ) a series called “How Google Tests Software” . At the time I’ve prepared the presentation, the series were up to 6 parts, but as of 26th of May, Whittaker has written “How Google Tests Software – Part Seven”. He seems to proceed further more..

My presentation was just a summary of the organizational parts in Google’s way of Testing Software and the results of this organizational behaviour on software quality. I didn’t cover all of the series, as it was hard to present the whole concept.

You can reach to my presentation from this link. It is CC BY-NC-SA licensed, except the TUBITAK/UEKAE, PARDUS related images. They are registered trademarks of TUBITAK.

I hope you like it! Any comments are welcomed.

Have a nice day ;)

“..Being an unsuccessful blogger regarding my previous experiences, I’ve been seeking to start blogging for some time. Thanks to Gökmen for the ping at the start of the week, I’ve managed to come this far :) ..”

This was my first post in my blog under Pardus domain.. I don’t remember how many times I’ve re-started blogging.. But that blog under Pardus domain was the first I believed I’d keep on blogging. My plan was buying serdardalgic.org and keep on blogging over there. However, I didn’t know how to handle this domain things, hosting services etc.. so I kept on postponing it.

Now, I’m @ my new address: serdardalgic.org. I’ll copy some of my posts from my previous blog in Pardus domain, you can see the notification on them “this blog post was published in my previous blog @ that time..”

Anyway, Here I am, ready to blog about life, programming, free software, trekking and mountaineering, my travels, and so on.. I plan to blog in both Turkish and English, but time will decide this.
