We've decided to give Subversion a go for the project
that we are developing, so the mission started. Download, search for good
tutorials, read a lot, try this, try that... We installed it, and started
configuring it from the command line and then the problems started. Searched
some more and then I came across this: The Subversion
1-Click Setup [through Joe White's blog]
"The goal of this project is to simplify the process of setting up a
Subversion repository on a Windows-based computer. Svn1ClickSetup takes a user
through the steps necessary to install the Subversion command-line utilities and
TortoiseSVN, as well as creating a repository and initial project."
We uninstalled everything and used this to configure it - worked perfectly!

While setting up CruiseControl.NET, I created a NAnt
build file to build the solution. I visited their site to make sure I have the
latest version and was very happy to see that NAnt 0.85 nightly build support
.NET 2.0 now. After everything was configured, I went to the dashboard only to
see that my build failed. ![Sad [:(]](/emoticons/emotion-6.gif)
So I went back to command prompt to run NAnt
from there, and the response I got?
Buildfile: file:///D:/Projects/NFP/build/NFP.build
Target framework: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Target(s) specified: test
compile:
[solution] Starting solution build.
BUILD FAILED
Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2005 solutions are not supported.
Total time: 0.1 seconds.
I couldn't understand this, as it clearly stated on their site that it is supported, so I started searching and found this:
"While NAnt itself will run under the 2.0 platform, the
<solution /> task does not understand VS 2005 solution files."
"We do not yet support .NET 2.0 in the <solution> task."
As it is a free tool, I won't complain too much, but IMO, that is VERY misleading. So I'm forced to use MSBuild and I'll
stick with it.

I've been meaning to blog about this for a while now, but I thought
I was going to bore certain people as I talk about it too often...
" /> I’m quieter
about it these days, so I’ve decided now is ok...
About 2 months ago I signed up to start playing hockey again - for Morningside
Country Club - after seeing some girls play while I was there for a club run.
The last time I played was 8 years ago, and I must say, the skills are lacking
a bit. So needless to say, I was very surprised when I was picked for the 1st
team! I think the only reason is because I am relatively fit :-)
We've played 2 games so far: one was a draw and we lost the other - those girls
just seem faster and younger and fitter every time, while we’re running around
the field like headless chickens! But we’ll get there. Although, when I was
standing next to the field last night in the bitter cold, after being hit twice
– once with a stick on the ankle and the other time with a ball on the knee, I
was contemplating changing to a peaceful summer sport – maybe swimming or golf ;-)
And I want to test the wikipedia link... [wikipedia:field hockey]
Well, to be honest - at the moment I don't have a clue what
is going on in the rest of the world, not even the blogging world. Big reason
for that is my sister, Rita-Mari and my nephews that visited me for 2 weeks.
The kids ran around from 6 o'clock in the morning till about 10 at night! I
have never in my life been so tired. People keep on telling me that it is
different with your own kids, but I think I will pass for now. Besides that it
was wonderful seeing them again and we got to go to places that we never visit
on our own. We went to Gold
Reef City,
to the bird show and on the balloon ride at Monte Casino. It was awesome! Some pics here...
But they're back in Namibia
now and life is back to normal. The house is very quiet suddenly…
Work is looking more exciting for a change - we are actually
done with analysis and proposals and functionality docs and all other
documentation and processes. Currently we’re preparing for development. I’ve
configured SharePoint Services for our team to use to collaborate and I must
say I was very impressed with the easy installation and configuration. Perfect
for our team’s needs. I started running into problems when I started to
configure CruiseControl.NET on the same server, but more about that later.
