creative
Thick grey clouds pressed down on the deserted beach like a great pillow about to descend on a terminally ill patient. The waves were nervously rolling about and breaking down heaps of garbage floating in on the high tide. Scavengers would sometimes go trough the heaps of trash looking for something useful but despite decades of unchecked consumerist gluttony salvaging anything useful was a rare occurrence.

devops, powershell, teamcity
Just a quick post on accessing TeamCity REST API from PowerShell. Why would you want top do this?

devops, powershell, continuous delivery
I’ve been learning a lot lately about psake and Powershell on my new project. Getting the build to run with psake was almost trivial, as was collecting the build artifacts and bundling them. That took all of 2 hours. Plug it into TeamCity and you’re done. If you haven’t looked into automating your build and deploy for .Net projects with psake and powershell you owe it to yourself to look into it. It’s well worth it!

automotive, technology
Other than software development my other great passion is for automobiles. I’m pretty excited about where things are going lately in the automotive sector. It seemed that for a while there there wasn’t a lot going on but as of late there are a number of super exciting things happening out there.

John Chen, CEO of BlackBerry, has sent a letter to US lawmakers asking them to force mobile application developers to offer counterparts for their iOS and Android apps on BlackBerry. Mr. Chen this is why you fail.

software, testing
We’re on the tail end of my current engagement and a lot of our tasks are change requests or enhancements as the users are getting more and more time with the software. We have a fairly large integration test suite that we wrote using an inhouse custom Fit extension.
