Leukemia is horrid. Riding bikes is good. That's why we are riding in the 2008 Woking Bikeathon for Leukaemia Research. More info: Link

Do you have a Mac OS 7 install CD or disks cluttering up your office?
I'm going to either:
- give away my beloved Apple MacIntosh SE/30, or
- make the thing work.
I'm looking for a copy of Mac OS 7 so I can make it boot. With the 80Mb hard disk that I used to run my business on in 1996, an external SCSI CD-RW drive and a little luck, I think I stand a decent chance. Drop me a comment if you know where I might get a copy. Thanks.
Update: It looks like I'll need to resurrect the x86 machine in my cupboard, burn some floppies to boot from, and then boot up the Mac. I should have been doing this on those long winter nights ...

Looking for the CruiseControl validator?
Short Answer: Sorry about that. You can find it on Build Doctor.
Longer Answer: After my hosting firm destroyed my server, I set up a blog on blogger to keep going with. Tonight I decided to have a spring clean and get rid of my single static HTML site at www.juliansimpson.org, and redirect the blogger blog to that address. Things might be weird for a day or so.

I'm glad that's over
We moved house in the latter part of January. I was looking forward to getting an office again. My last office was converted into a small child's bedroom after a prospective buyer of our old house was heard to mention "There's nothing but computers in there!". Abby was so happy with her hastily arranged new bedroom that I couldn't bring myself to kick her out again.
So for the first time in about 3 years, we have an office. It still looks like a bomb hit it, but I have been able to do some blogging. Now that the broadband is alive again. We changed phone and broadband providers with the house move. A week with no BT line. 40 days and 40 nights (literally) with no broadband. Thank you, as yet unnamed telco. It's amazing how inadequate dialup is. Especially when you've just had to hand back your shiny new Mac Book Pro to your old employers and need to set up a new computer.
I can sympathize with Warren Ellis.
This weekend I did manage to upload a new CruiseControl Best Practices post. I'm publishing on Build Doctor at least in the interim. I'm not sure what the deal is for ex-ThoughtWorkers posting on the ThoughtWorks studios blog. There's another in the pipeline, too. I also finished a couple of other new posts for build-doctor.com as well.
