I’m a great fan of VSoft products, their FinalBuilder product is great for automating your build process and really does fit the mould where continuous integration is required.
Today, you can get the “admin” version of FinalBuilder, called Automise for just $19.50.
Check out Bits du Jour, today, 29/11/2006!
Registration for DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper 4 is now closed – we’ve got 450 registrations and a full waitlist. This is really cool, thanks to everybody for making this such a great event to plan. It promises to be a super day!
Also, if you are attending DDD4 and want to “take part”, even in a very small way, there are lunchtime activities taking place.
For ten minutes of your time, your could win an MSDN license!
From my earlier post:
We’re hoping to do something different during the lunchtime slot at DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper on the 2nd of December 2006.
Perhaps you can help?
We’re looking for a handful of attendees who would like to talk for 10 minutes on a subject of their choosing, something like a GrokTalk – here’s a good example.
I’m hoping to do one myself if time permits.

As always, it’s subject to minor changes between now and the day and on the day itself!

I’ve just been to look at the current voting statistics for DDD4, it makes impressive reading.
There are now 180 sets of votes, which provides us with a very good indication of what session you would like to see make it to the agenda.
Voting will remain open for a few more days, so there’s still time to vote for your 10 favourite sessions!

I’m making space in my loft and have made the decision to dispose of my long-standing friend, my Acorn Archimedes A440. It has served me well: it got me through university (thanks to Computer Concepts Impression DTP application); it got me in to event-driven/message-oriented development way back in the late 80’s; it was a trusty friend, never let me down, rarely crashed, could be left on for weeks without a reboot. And through emulation, it could run most MS-DOS applications too.
Anyway, it’s going to the tip this week – I’ve seen it’s little brother the A3000/A3010 on eBay for £0.99p so I don’t hold out much hope of getting much for it.
I’ve got the RISC OS 3 Programmer’s Reference Manuals available too – they weigh rather a lot, so unless you’re collecting in person, I’ll probably have to recycle those 🙁
An Eizo 9060 monitor suited for the Arc is also available…last time I used it a few month back, the horizontal shift needed to be tapped before it lined up properly, but after the tap, it was fine. If you want it, it’s free: collect only though.
There are 2*160MB IBM SCSI drives, a Digital SCSI drive (I can’t remember the size), the original Seagate ST-125 (20MB, I think), SCSI cables (made by the bloke at Morley Electronics). There are about 150 magazine discs (Acorn User, Risc User, etc.), too many to list here. I’ve still got an Impression dongle, although I note that Computer Concepts released a de-dongled version in 1996.
Other stuff:
British Birds – CD ROM.
Notes (the Really Good Software Company)
Wolfenstein 3D
!Shares 3
Acorn User Collector’s CD-ROM No.1
Computer Concepts Compression
Holed Out
Archimedes Assembly Language (Mike Ginns)
Archimedes Operating System – A User’s Guide (Alex and Nic Van Someren)Archimedes Game Maker’s Manual (Terry Blunt)
Morley Electronics SCSI Interface – the manual
Risc User Vol.6 Issue 7 (June 1993)
Risc User Vol.6 Issue 6 (May 1993)
Risc User Vol.6 Issue 5 (April 1993)
Acorn Archimedes World – Vol14. Issue 3
Acorn Archimedes World – October 1992
Acorn Archimedes World – January 1994
Acorn Archimedes World – March 1996
Acorn Archimedes World – June 1993
Acorn User – January 1996 – Cover mounted CD – Acorn Education, Products and Services Spring 1996.
A handful of copies of Computer Concepts Archimedean
If you want any bits of it let me know, I will split. I’m looking for nothing more than the cost of postage.
If there are no takers by Oct 13th, I’ll take it up to the recycling center.
If none of this means anything to you, check out VirtualAcorn, The Icon Bar, Acorn Arcade and RISCOS Ltd. and you’ll see what all the fuss was about!

Barry Dorans, Ian Smith and David Oliver on Channel 9
In this video, Sabot and wife give Charles a brief tour of London including a ride on the world’s largest ferris wheel (at least it sure seems like it…) also known as the London Eye. Then, we meet up with Blowdart and Irascian for some beers and good conversation about, among other things, Channel 9 – The Good, Bad and Ugly.
