Extending Cruise Control

Currently we are working on integrating our upcoming product in a CI environment.
we selected CruiseControl.Net as our demo product (since it's the one we use regularly in our development).
The integration was quite simple except one thing (that we spent quite some time on)
when working on extending cruise control 1.0.1.1277 restart the service when loading a new plug in otherwise things will not work correctly.
the plug in will be loaded you can see it in the log but you won't see it's results if failed in the application(cc tray or dashboard)
rant rant rant
good morning.

Native object serialization in JavaScript (mozilla only)

Check it out:
a = new Object();
a.name = "daniel";
b = new Object();
b.a =a;
b.createDate = new Date();
b.index= 4;
document.write(b.toSource())

results in :
({a:{name:"daniel"}, createDate:(new Date(1160162836203)), index:4})

even more, it supports circular reffrencing check out the next example

a = new Object();
b = new Object();
c = new Object();
c.b = b;
c.a = a;
a.b= b;
b.a =a;
b.c = c;
document.write(b.toSource())
the result will be:
#1={a:#2={b:#1#}, c:{b:#1#, a:#2#}}

there are some js libraries that mock that feature in ie also ,
more to come.

playing with regex

dotnetrocks current show intrevied roy osharove on regex.
as a long time developer regex was something I didn't tuch and didn't want to tuch.
the intreview was excelent and gave me the energy to dive to that wonder-full world.
I highlly recommend to take a couple of hours, listen to the show and try some basic regex patterns matching.
I found the most usfull resources to be:
  1. roy on regex on dotnet rocks
  2. roy's blog
  3. regex lib
  4. regular expressions info
