[rspec-users] [Cucumber] LinkedIn group & cocktail recipe
Hi all For no other good reason than I wanted the Cucumber logo on my LinkedIn profile - and I''m addicted to creating stuff on LinkedIn - I created a Cucumber group[1]. Well there is one good reason - more and more people I''m meeting are looking at Cucumber and using it without considering themselves "RSpec users". So I think it''d be good to have a group for Cucumber-focused people. In fact I''m starting to think I could expand the coaching I do to non- Ruby developers/teams who use Cucumber for BDD. (Or rather - developers that don''t, but *should*.) Subversively getting them using Ruby would be a bonus =) So anyway please join! On a tangential note, this baryouth I know who works in a coffee-shop/ bar near me surprised me the other day when I asked for a new drink. He actually went out to a shop to get the magic ingredient, and produced... a cucumber martini[2]! Think you need a really fine mesh to make a real one though. As I don''t have a sweet tooth, I got him to make it with no sugar. Think the weather was a bit cold at the time, but it''d make a nice stiff summer drink. Slightly bitter but very refreshing. If anyone is planning a BDD conference in southern Italy, these should be on the menu* =) Ashley [1] http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1858343 [2] http://www.drinknation.com/drink/Cucumber-Martini * Since I''m pretty sure it''s working in software development that turned me alcoholic, I think serving cucumber martinis would be *justification* for an RSpec/Cucumber conference... -- http://www.patchspace.co.uk/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleymoran http://aviewfromafar.net/ http://twitter.com/ashleymoran
