I don't see it in my MSDN downloads yet.

Step one: Don't let on to your employers that your nickname is "Tokes", "Spliff-man" or "Super Ganga Smoking Dude"

"The first part of this article series dealt with setting up the Continuous Integration server with CruiseControl.NET and related tools. This article will deal with the tools, components, and configurations you need to set up on your development workstation in order to take full advantage of the CI environment.

Is that so hard?

WITH WHAT?????????

That guy in CC's banner image creeps me the fug out. He won't stop STARING at me. Also, it looks like he's in some weird yoga position with his legs crossed behind his back.

ScottGu does it much better. This story doesn't have a funky beat and is hard to dance to. I give it a 1 out of 5.

Is it just me, or is that avatar slightly disturbing? Looks like a police sketch artist's rendering of an eye witness' description of the Green River killer or something.

perfect code to slip into someone's source when they're AFK

Brilliant.

Without further adieu?

Nice and detailed.

1) Blogger blog without anonymous comments.

2) WTF
while (strInput.Length > i + 1)
{
long lngDecimal = Convert.ToInt32(strInput.Substring(i, 2), 16);
bytes[x] = Convert.ToByte(lngDecimal);
i = i + 2;
++x;
}

Lets check this out... Using a while to move through the string rather than a for() loop with a step of 2 is weird, but not too weird. What is weird is that he converts the substring to an int32, then casts it implicitly to a long, then converts that to a byte. Why not just:

byte[] result = new byte[data.Length / 2];
for (int i = 0; i < result.Length; i++)
{
result[i] = byte.Parse(
data.Substring(i * 2, 2),
NumberStyles.HexNumber);
}

3) The Bytes_To_String method (nice CamelCasing there, btw) isn't much better:
for (int x = 0; x <= bytes_Input.GetUpperBound(0); x++)
{
int number = int.Parse(bytes_Input[x].ToString());
strTemp += number.ToString("X").PadLeft(2, '0');
}

GetUpperBound? Wow, that's a new one on me. And he first casts the byte to a string, then converts this string to an int, then casts the int back to a string. Dude, that's crazy. BitConverter.ToString(data).Replace("-", ""); FTW.

Seems like a half assed way to spend 3000 bucks on a poorly performing laptop that gets thrown out with yesterday's paper.

Nice. I likes.

Aaah, Jeffrey Richter. I fell in love with him when I read his great romance novel, CLR Via C#. I read a chapter out of that book every night before I go to bed.
