Several years ago, the founder of QualityLogic -- an extremely nice, smart
fellow whose name I can't think of right now -- came through Boulder and
dropped by the QMS office where I was working.

We were just starting to put PDF interpreters into our printers, and there
was no commercially available, PDF, printer-test suite.  I wrote a
web-spider to build the suite, as described in the 2-Jeffs article on
testing,

I thought he'd be amused, and he was.  I showed him the software and gave
him a copy of the article.

A couple of years later, we got an ad from QL for their long-awaited,
PDF-printer-test suites.   The brochure described their creative, new
approach to producing them ....

I sent him friendly email, reminding him of our conversation and attaching
another copy of the article.  He replied, "You certainly were ahead of your
time!"

I have a couple of other novel, potentially useful, unrelated, testing
tricks.  If you need such things, I'm happy to share at a Hacking Society
meeting some evening.  (There will be math, and I'll make you buy the
coffee.)

But if you're not, they served their purpose by amusing me.  Getting there
can be all the fun.
