I opted to use TeamCity for all my CI exactly because of the UI. It's not perfect either, but I think it is vastly superior. Bigger install, though and relies on a JVM.

The reasons to wear a black shirt are far simpler than the author purports: contrast & focus. I learned this while presenting. If you wear clothing with a slogan, you are giving yo…

@baddox, my fingers' comfort level when looking up a contact and phoning them on my Nokia 3100's is indistinguishable from my ambient comfort level. Why should switching to a smart…
