About Me

  • Hello you. I'm the 36-year old Managing Director of Future Platforms. We make lovely things for mobile phones, for lots of people you've heard of (Microsoft, Hasbro, the BBC, Nokia, Channel 4) and many you won't have come across.

    When I'm not doing that I read a lot, write here, and practice Aikido. I live in Brighton, a seaside town on the south coast of the UK.

We finally got round to releasing another piece of open source: Mr Hopper wrote a nifty plugin which hooks the office Nabaztag up to our build server running Cruise Control. So when someone checks in code which won't compile or fails unit tests, the rabbit announces the name of the guilty party and turns its ears down... more positively, a successful build is relayed around the whole office which gives us a lovely feeling of progress :)

I have another post in waiting about our experiences with Cruise Control and unit testing over the last 6 months...

Oooh, looking forward to the post, and thanks for the code! Will be getting my rabbit soon, and I think he'll be more welcome in the office than at home :)

Nice one Tom!

My Nabaztag is quietly sobbing in his box....apparently our wireless network needs to be so secure that he's not allowed to connect to it. :(

The link to the CC plugin is broken! Where can I get a copy of the plugin please? I have just got my boss to order a Nabaztag to integrate with our CruiseControl.
