IncrediBuild

At work we're using a build tool called IncrediBuild. It allows you to take a build and distribute it across different hosts. This helps decrease build time by a large factor. I was also pleased to find it works with Visual Studio .NET. Right click on the .SLN file and hit "Build with IncrediBuild"!

SimpleShare

Today I purchased a SimpleShare NAS Device. A full 250GB of storage! This will allow me to retire my Dell Linux box which I'm using as a file server. In the middle of transferring the files I decided to rearrange my MP3 library. At first I started just copying the file by hand but it ended up being to time consuming. What I ended up doing was setting up a FTP share on my box and then used SmartFTP to queue up my transfers. It saved me time because I could queue up all the arrangements and then go read a book in the mean time.

Along other bytes I wanted to report that I left Paramount Farms and am now working as a software engineer at Pelco. It's a pretty exciting time to start. We are working on a new product and I'll be on the ground floor. It's a pretty large system built on top of .NET with Linux servers and Windows clients. There is also a lot of cool integration with our specific hardware. I want to write more about what we're working on as time goes by.
