New Blog Layout

I decided that I should update my blog to be a little more modern and add a little “ZAZZ”.

So here it is, the big bad new blog layout. I have some new ideas that will be coming out pretty soon, so stay tuned!

Jedi Golf

A little background to this video: Back in high school, on the last par 5 of each course I played, I would run up to the ball and do a baseball swing on the drive. A year later, Happy Gilmore came out and I was pissed that I didn’t get royalties for copyright infringement.

So to this day, I still do the Happy Gilmore swing on the last par 5 of the round, just for fun.

On top of that, my love of Star Wars and video editing got me thinking of how I could try out rotoscoping using Adobe After Effects and this was the result:

Typemock Isolator 5.3.1 and Automated Builds

Steve — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:16:14 +0000

I recently upgraded to Typemock Isolator 5.3.1 and ran into a couple issues in my build. From my post on getting Typemock to report results to TeamCity, we needed a few files included in the source control to get this working. In version 5.3.1, we need a couple more files included.

For TeamCity to report on nUnit’s test results, here are the files that you will need:

Configuration.dll
exclude.dat (new for 5.3.1)
MockWeaver.dll
namespaces.dat
ProfileLinker.dll
Typemock.ArrangeActAssert.dll
Typemock.Configuration.exe
TypeMock.dll
Typemock.Interceptors.dll (new for 5.3.1)
Typemock.Isolator.VisualBasic.dll
TypeMock.NAntBuild.dll
typemockconfig.xml

After adding these 2 new files to my external libs directory, I was able to run my build script successfully.
