Interesting thought about Peer Guardian

"Install 4 or 5 additional list to the ones that pre-install on the PG2 and set the log function to just log the blocks that PG2 is making....
Surf the web for a few hours and I assure you it will take a little time for Notepad to load the log that PG2 has waiting for you the next day...
It will be very large in fact.

Then ask yourself... Did all those people really need to be on my computer..."

Window size and resolution

Size does matter...
Have You ever met software or web site, that looked crappy on low resolution screen?
I think the ansver is "Yes!"

Once I had to work with desktop application written on 1900x1600 screen.
I think developers did not check different screen sizes, and did not ask on what resolution will their client work.
I worked with it on 1024x768 resolution - like normal user will do.
There were places where text labels and input fields were enormous, parts of labels were gone.
Dialog windows were too big. There was no way to resize or move them, so some buttons were not acessible, making most of options unusable.

The only way to work with that application, was, to enable "Virtual resolution" size of desktop,

Looking for a new job as a tester?

I found this listing helpful.

I will try :)

Work at Freelancing tester

Found at oDesk work assignment for QA

"Test existing iPhone App to meet Apple requirements. bonus if all goes well."

What does mean "goes well" - is it that errors are found, or not found?
For what tester would have granted a bonus?
Is it that tester finds a bug - bonus is canceled, because not everything works well?
