Version 1.3.1 is a minor release that bumped the dependent version of Hudson up to 1.347 (was previously 1.319). The plugin should still work on the same Hudson versions that it did before. This change was primarily made so that the NAnt plugin could support new POM features inherited from the Hudson parent POM.
I just recently became a user of the Hudson continuous integration system. Immediately, I noticed how intuitive it was to use, and how easy the UI makes configuring and running builds. Currently, I’m doing primarily .NET projects, and am using NAnt for my project builds. One of the first things I noticed was that the NAnt plugin for Hudson didn’t support passing properties to a NAnt build. My builds tend to rely on properties for defining things like the build configuration or the deployment environment.
Last week, I decided I’d try my hand at updating the plugin, and was able to release version 1.3. Version 1.3 allows properties to be passed to the NAnt build and also addresses an issue related to the execution of the NAnt executable on Windows that caused some command line arguments to improperly cause the command to fail. You can find more information on the plugin here.
More releases will be coming in the near future. The next release will target fixing bugs related to executing NAnt on a non-Windows environment (Linux, Mac, etc).
This one is a heads up for any Windows 7 users out there… After installing the most recent round of Windows 7 updates and rebooting, my network card could no longer connect to my home network.
We’ve all been there. You go to a concert, or sporting event, a movie, etc, etc, and you buy the concessions, knowing they’re going to be outrageously overpriced. At this point, most of us have just accepted this as a fact and we can only hope that the entertainment will make the expenditures seem worthwhile.
Over the years, in my journeys through the world of web development, I have cursed JavaScript many times. It can be a downright cold-hearted bitch to work with. Granted, things have gotten better in recent years with the advent of tools like Firebug, but there is still plenty of pain, misery, and suffering to go around. As a user however, I celebrate the very existence of JavaScript and the innovation that it has enabled to make our overall experience as users more rich and more enjoyable (DOM Manipulation, AJAX/XmlHttpRequest, and all of the wonderful libraries out there).

To great fanfare and potential critical acclaim, The Holzerian Nation makes a triumphant entrance in to the blogosphere. Anything and everything will be fair game, but seeing as this is my little slice o’ the Internet, expect to see a lot of ramblings about programming, music, eating, drinking, sports, movies, TV, a small dose of politics (gotta do something to piss people off), literature, and perhaps the occasional tale of ribaldry.
