Flex Unit

Tried out Flex Unit today. Setup was really easy. I followed the instructions that I found here and was up and running in 20 minutes.
Writing the tests were similar to the older version of JUnit. You basically create your tests, then you need to create a test suite to run them. Creating the test suite is kind of a drag, but on the plus side, you get a pretty nice UI from FlexUnit.





This is a snippet of the UI, but right out of the box, it just looks nice.

The Zoo

This post is a little off topic but I just thought it was worth mentioning.
Last weekend we visited the Honolulu Zoo. In the past I've been really disappointed with the zoo. It used to look run down and the few animals that they do have are usually hiding out somewhere and you really never get to see them. Anyway, I think they did some major renovations because the zoo looks great now. We got to see a lot of the animals and the exhibits looked really nice. We were about a foot away from a pair of Cheetahs, a Siberian Tiger, and ... Fancy Chickens (?).
Kama'aina rates are just $4 for adults. It's totally worth checking out.
