About Me

  • Hello you. I'm a 38-year old MSc student, studying Advanced Computer Science at Sussex University. I'm especially interested in Internet and mobile software, sensors and pervasive computing, user interfaces, and the process of developing great software.

    Before that I spent 11 years running Future Platforms, a software company I co-founded which makes lovely things for mobile phones, and which I sold to Vexed Digital in 2011.

    I read a lot, write here, and practice Aikido and airsoft. I live in Brighton, a seaside town on the south coast of the UK, with two cats and a clown.

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.
