Here’s some pleasant non information: Cruisecontrol version 2.2 was released 2 weeks ago, so today i upgraded our cruisecontrol installation from version 2.1.6 to 2.2. Very smooth upgrade: unpack, build main, build reporting war, change link, deploy warfile, and go! 10 minutes work.
On my desk i currently have 2 computers: a dell inspiron 510m laptop, and a dell optiplex sx270 desktop. Both have 1Gigabyte memory, both are running Windows XP. The laptop has a pentium M 1.5Ghz and the desktop has a pentium 4, 2.8Ghz.
I’ve heard that the pentium M processor is quite fast compared to a pentium 4, but what i’m seeing on these 2 machines is really weird. Running ant to build the project i’m working on, on the laptop takes about 1 minute 20 seconds, on the desktop it takes 3 minutes 50 seconds.
The difference is especially visible when signing jar files, the laptop does this a lot faster than the dekstop. First i though this might be caused by the virus checker, but both computers are running the same virus checker, and all the options are also the same…
I received the amazon web services newsletter this morning. Amazon has a new service: a simple queue service. This in itself may not be very surprising, but they intent to sell them. Interesting. ‘Can i have 3 books and 1 queue?’
