credit card numbers for testing

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

Do you accept credit card payments on your site? If you do, this list of credit card numbers may help you in testing your site every now and then.

These are not real credit cards, but just credit card numbers that pass basic validation.

Needless to say, it is illegal to use these numbers to buy real products, get services or do anything that is not testing your own website.

Yet to be born twitter

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Twitter has a new user, that wasn’t born yet.

His dad is a gadget lover freek, that put a belt around his pregnant wife stomach, with sensors that feel the yet to be born kid kicking his mom. These kicks are translated to twitts that are sent to twitter in real time.

I wish that kid (and his parents) all the best and hope his daddy won’t put his diapers on twitter as well.

Hi Goog, where is your user agent?

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Net Applications reported this week that one third of the traffic coming from Google’s facilities has no user agent. This report refers specifically to the traffic coming from Google’s employees and not the Search Engine’s traffic.
Vince Vizzaccaro, a senior executive from Net Applications said that they had never seen an OS stripped off the user agent string before. “you have to arrange to have that happen, it’s not something we’ve seen before with a proxy server.”
So what’s Google hiding? Of course, Google, like Google wouldn’t comment on rumors and speculations.

What do you think? Why would they hide their UA?
