Another New Bike
Previously I posted about my new V-Strom which is a nice bike. However, after taking it on something more difficult than gravel roads and compared to my wife's Honda CRF150 I knew I needed something much lighter, more dirt oriented, but could still be ridden on the street.

New Bike!
My new bike is a 2005 Suzuki DL1000 otherwise known at the V-strom. I'm looking forward to getting to know it a lot better. The previous owner put a lot of aftermarket farkles on it including heated grips (incredibility useful as it was 40F on the way home) and a custom seat which seems great so far.

I will be speaking on continuous integration at Microsoft's Patterns & Practices Summit October 9-12 2006
One of the fundamental practices of agile software development is continuous integration. CI in its simplest form is about building your software reliably. The secret sauce of CI is that it decreases the size of the feedback loop allowing you to respond to problems sooner. Come explore how to add more information to your feedback loop through advanced topics such as testing, installers, static analysis, 3rd party and internal dependancies. We'll not only be looking at the good stuff, but alternatives and problems that can creep in.

HanselMinutes #4
Scott Hanselman has started a podcast called HanselMinutes to talk tools and utilities. Episode #4 on Continuous Integration caught my attention because of 2 names mentioned during the discussion of the Ruby Watir library. Both Dustin Woodhouse and Travis Illig got mentioned because of tools they have written to integrate the Watir functionality at development or test time. Travis wrote RubyTestExecutor which hooks Ruby/Watir scripts up with NUnit. Dustin wrote WatirNUt which is a utility that creates a portable, testable NUnit binary wrapper around Watir test scripts and supporting files.
