So this year leetspeak is held in my home town of Stockholm! It’s kicked off in an awsome way! I really enjoy the atmosphere here. This year’s conference is held at Berns here in Stockholm. Really fancy stage and a fun place to be :) with fancy beeing the style of the stage.

Oh and the swag table was really good! I have picked up some nice stickers!

People are really friendy and talkative, as I would expect :) I will probably fill my head with lots of differnt bits and pices of information. Hoping to talk to some of the presenters later this afternoon.

Self-Contained Build...building like a boss

Tue, 29 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0200

So this past week I’ve had the plesure of working with a sane build system written in C#.

It’s called cake a word play on make :) and I really enjoy working with it’s DSL. You can find it here www.cakebuild.net

I have written build scripts before and in diffrents languages, but this was the first time I’ve written any sane C# script. I have written C# as a MSBuild task, but that was not so pleasent and for the rest of MSBuild you write xml for your script, but that model is really really REALLY hard to understand and write.

With cake I’ve written a self-contained build, hmm you say what is that, yet another buzz word online. Well as I understand it’s more of a preparation of the repo in such a way that a new dev can perform some simple steps and be off building and debugging and developing.

In my self-contained build I have these steps:

clone the repo
run build.sh on Linux and OS X
run build.ps1 on Windows

Simple right! And I have a really quick demo :)

You can find the demo here https://github.com/krippz/build-demo.git

New Enviroment

Sat, 23 May 2015 09:53:00 +0200

Hmm it’s been a while since my last post, can’t seem to get a good workflow for posting.

Since the last post the ASP.NET team has released beta4 and are working on beta 5. Looking forward to that!

Well I have gone back to work since my last post, this might have played a small role in the lack of posts.

I have a new enviroment setup at work, I have switched to running Ubuntu native and Win 8.1 in a virtual machine. It’s a laptop so I had some problems with the multimonitor setup I use at work. Seems to work fine now after some tweaks. Still working on getting a custom keyboard layout working….

… xkb is a pain to understand.
