It encourages designing a head and writing a description before getting started. Key supplies listed include chicken wire, pliers, glue, paint brushes, crepe paper, paints, and wool. The notice board will provide details on how to make the big heads. This week's theme for the big heads is animals.
Big heads
The document discusses a photo shoot where precision and professional photography were used to capture images. It expresses thanks to others who helped with the shoot, noting they did a fantastic job and the photographer enjoyed the experience.
The clone
A man wanted to clone himself so that he could dance very well. With help from his friend Ross, the man performed a dangerous ceremony where he and others covered themselves in green slimy liquid. After the ceremony, the man was able to dance much better. The cloning process was then completed and the man's clone began to live.
Comic workshop presentation week 1
The comic group practiced drawing mermaids, animals, and facial expressions. They then created comic characters and worked hard developing their comics. After taking a brief break, they returned to work and finally presented their best comics, which were created by individual members and groups.
Comedy
British culture is famous for its comedy and comedians. The document discusses several iconic British comedy shows that showcase different styles of humor, including Mr. Bean, Yes Minister, Little Britain, Monty Python, The League of Gentlemen, Phoenix Nights, Extras, I'm Alan Partridge, The Office, Only Fools and Horses, and Blackadder.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
