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

Drop all your computer science books (including that damn algorithm book), forget about you time reading the linux kernel sources and all the time across the night you’ve lost mining the internet looking for useful information, (even that black screen with gray letters using vi + C), now you can be a hacker just binding components and/or creating a web page with a nice css style. It reminds me a nice antonym to the hacker meaning,
Talkers: A person who speaks more than effectively do something useful.

I grab this url from a stashed place in the web http://worrydream.com/AlligatorEggs/ it’s a nice puzzle
alligator game.
This game represents the untyped lambda calculus. A hungry alligator is a lambda abstraction, an old alligator is parentheses, and eggs are variables. The eating rule corresponds to beta-reduction. The color rule corresponds to (over-cautious) alpha-conversion. The old age rule says that if a pair of parentheses contains a single term, the parentheses can be removed.
I’m sure that after 4.0 drools release I’m going to implement this game as a drools DRL.

Some days you aren’t so receptive to dumb comments.
He: Duhh, why don’t you select the advanced setup checkbox?
Me: Because it just asks me, would you like to create a fucking icon at desktop? Is that too advanced for you?

Stress(sic!) is a common occurrence in the life of a consultant as they deal with trying to meet client’s demands in a short amount of time (a very short!). Consultants travel frequently(really?), sometimes criss-crossing the country(country, state, city, room, anything) to work on projects for various clients. me to myself, I’ve told you baby about this, so don’t cry mofo.

So, I’m back from a long time with no posts. For first let me talk about the Rio JavaSummit, a great event made by Brazilians, (Yeap! It’s possible) , after met Gavin King and Scott Amber talk about EJB3, JBoss Seam, Agile modeling, I’m very enthusiast to work with Seam in a test environment (that’s I’m doing right now). You can see Rio JavaSummit’s pictures here.
Temporary in São Paulo, I get a war on my yard Oh Zahl! A notorious Brazilian’s criminal gang (First Capital Command, known by its Portuguese initials PCC) unleashed a second wave of attacks on police Sunday, bringing to 52 the number of people killed in the deadliest assault of its kind in the history, Another 18 related prison rebellions also broke out Sunday, bringing the number of uprisings across Sao Paulo state to 36. Inmates were holding more than 120 people hostage. You can see pictures here.
A great and interesting meeting happened in São Paulo; some guys including myself had great a dinner with the ThoughtWorks CEO Roy Singham. He’s a wonderful person and a he loves technology. We’ve talked a little bit about China market, Indians (with a lot references to “My job went to Indiaâ€), Java, Ruby on Rails, Domain specifics languages. Yes, he’s an enthusiast. I’ll talk more about this meeting at the right time
