Little Continuous Integration with Growl Notifier 2

Posted by Fernando Meyer on November 19, 2007

Are you tired to run ant scripts and wait for tests results whenever you change some source file? Yes, me too, basically I got autotest’s idea for ruby and Did it work for ant as well. Continually runs tests based on files you’ve changed improving feedback with a fancy Growl alert.

If you are a Java developer and works with ant (on mac of course) check out my bash script( and avoid cruise control for little stuf ) **see update

Change all images paths on the script, put the script in your project folder and execute it

remember you need unit tests to use this script properly.


If you have some idea on how to improve it, let me know

CiscoVPN alternative 3

Posted by Fernando Meyer on May 26, 2007

I was looking for an alternative client for macOS because I hate the windows style of ciscoVPN client for mac,

And I found this. http://www.nexumoja.org/projects/Shimo/

Shimo is the best choice for mac for the following reasons;

  • More stable and well integrated than cisco vpn client
  • Nice statistics screen
  • Keychain integration
  • Connect on login
  • Can be easily integrate with growl for notifications
  • If you’ve installed cisco VPN before it will import your previous settings.

I think that you all will enjoy it ;)
