Look! A screencast of the plugin in action!

Shortly before departing for FOSDEM, I dropped my car at the mechanic’s to fix an engine issue. Some number of weeks later, I finally was able to pick the vehicle up today, fully repaired and ready to undergo further damage at the hands of yours truly.

I was fortunate enough to give a talk in the “Configuration and Systems Management dev room” this year at FOSDEM.

As I previously mentioned, I’ve been learning Smalltalk lately, in an attempt the understand the language that inspired two of my other favorite languages: Objective-C and Ruby.

During on of the last talks of the last day of FOSDEM, some person asked in one of the tracks (paraphrased):

It’s officially been a year since the first release of Jenkins went public, and my what a year.

I meant to post this earlier, but the schedule for the “Configuration and Systems Management” devroom at FOSDEM 2012 has been posted.

Somehow I found myself reading an interesting article on Smalltalk yesterday which led to a couple of comments in IRC:

Now that things have settled down, I’d like to address what happened during the jenkins-ci.org DNS outage I discussed here.

A couple months ago I created this puppet-jenkins module while experimenting with using Puppet to script or otherwise control more and more of my daily sysadmin-life.
