Continuous Integration with Hudson

When things have to go wrong, they will go wrong - Murphy Law



This law also holds true when you are developing or maintaining a software. Thankfully we have something called Continuous Integration that helps to catch bugs at a very early stage.









This is where Hudson comes in.

Hudson is a free java based tool. the very fact that it is free makes it an ideal choice for developers cum testers like me. Being free also has it disadvantages though. However, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

My preferred web server of choice is Oracle's Weblogic Server. Hudson can be installed on Weblogic Server by doing some changes as Hudson installed on Weblogic

Hopefully I will be able to use Hudson also on Websphere.

The King's Speech review

A British king who stammers finds help in the form of a failed Australian actor.

The film won the Academy Award for the best film. But is it worth an Oscar?

Shutter Island

There are a lot of movies out there but very few movies, actually make you think. Shutter Island is one of them.


Leonardo DiCaprio  has a thing of making memorable movies. We all remember the Titanic (for those who don't know, you must have lived under a rock) and also for movies like Inception.

The rules for Coding

 

  Yes, we all have seen these rules in some    programming books. But we all tend to forget about them.

 

 

 

Let me write it here so that I might remember them:

1. The computer behaves the way you tell it so. If it doesn’t it’s still your fault.
2. It is not guaranteed that you will develop a bug free system. Save yourself the embarrassment. Please get it tested.
3. Always try to improve. Google for code you want. Find fault in that code and improve it. It will save you a lot of time.
4. Add value to anything you do. The world doesn’t care if you try to build something like Facebook. It will only notice you if you have a unique idea like Facebook.

Windows XP crash

My Windows XP partition has suddenly crashed. It gave the blue screen of death and then when I rebooted, stating some hardware boot problems, the OS decided that it won't boot.

Getting started with Android mobile OS development

The question is why Android OS?
Android OS is free to develop and has not  unnecessary    restrictions like Apple where you need  a Mac to develop  Apps. I like freedom that Android  provides.

Matlab hack: Running your executable without Matlab

The problem with having to create an executable with the default  Lcc C compiler is that you need Matlab to be installed for the program to run.

Fortunately found a hack:
