Amos Lee: Last Days at the Lodge

I am not very familiar with Amos Lee and his catalog of music, but what I am hearing from his latest album “Last Days At The Lodge” are fairly mellow, R&B inspired songs that resonate with something personal to Lee. Apparently, he wrote all the songs that appear on this album, which I applaud. You can tell there is a great production quality to each song.

Few of the songs are of such outstanding quality (lyrically, musically, or what have you) that you will want to listen to them for days on end. However, I haven’t heard a song that I immediately wanted to skip right past, which is a good thing for me. One song that stands out to me is “Street Corner Preacher.” The blues-ish feel just takes me to a good place.

If you are in the market for good music to work to in an office environment, this could be a good choice to add to your collection. All in all, it’s worth a listen, and if you are a fan of Amos Lee, then a must buy.

My Blog’s Graph

I was reading Griner’s Blog over at TheSocialPath.com and his latest post had an interesting image of a graph the blog. Of course, I got curious and decided to graph out my blog using this cool web page graphing site:

I am not sure what exactly it all means, but it sure looks purty.

Updating ActiveX Datagrids in QTP

In my recent testing efforts, I have comes across a desktop windows form (written in VB6) involving updating a data grid and then calculating another field’s value based on those updates. In order to achieve this functionality, the development staffs implemented two events (AfterColUpdate and LostFocus) that, when triggered, would fire off the calculation method.

None of this is obvious to the end user when testing, all they see is enter a number into the grid column and the total field automatically updates with the sum of all values in the column. Easy peasy.

I created my reusuable action in QuickTest Pro and record the entering of data, which yielded the following code:

VbWindow(“frmMain”).VbWindow(“frmChildWindow1″).VbWindow(“frmChildWindow2″).AcxTable(“PaymentGrid”).SelectCell 1,4

VbWindow(“frmMain”).VbWindow(“frmChildWindow1″).VbWindow(“frmChildWindow2″).AcxTable(“PaymentGrid”).SetCellData 1,4, “30.00″
