(Kushal Pisavidia has been working on enhancements to XFD – it’s only fair that he gets to do the release announcement) The beginnings of XFDA little over a year ago on the 4th of May 2010, XFD was born through the work of Chris and Julian. Since that date it’s gone from a minimally viable [...]

We’ve been beavering away to get XFD up to scratch for this competition and we’re almost ready. XFD has a whole host of UI improvements (see the credits for the superstars who helped), and we’re working on supporting more CI servers, very soon. Would you take 2 minutes to give us a vote?

We’ve written before about making your Continuous Integration build (and more) available on the big screen. I just told our CEO that a red build meant that we weren’t ready to release code. That’s a key fact to share with the rest of your team. Yesterday I set this up at work. It was the [...]
I had pizza with the guys at YouDevise on Tuesday. It’s always a pleasure; they are constantly inspecting and adapting what they do. The team had a talk about acceptance testing and CI, and I was privileged enough to join in. They wrote their own build status visualizer and have been using it for quite [...]

tattletail – alternative to bigvisiblecruise on my to-do list: check this out of svn and fire it up. I would ideally like something that draws objects on the screen without the aid of a browser (tags: ci)
