Got Legacy?

Recently I launched Hudson Helper for iPhone and iPod Touch, enabling Continuous Integration fans to stay in touch with their projects. Android users can get in on the game now too, with Hudson Helper for Android.

Hudson Helper for Android provides all of the same features as the iPhone version including support for multiple servers and authentication. New for this version are build controls: start and stop builds right from your phone. CI can be even more fun with shake-to-build and sound effects.

To get Hudson Helper for Android, search for ‘Hudson Helper’ in the Google Market on your Android device.

A quick tip for including an Eclipse bug URL in your 140-character tweets: Bugzilla for Eclipse supports short links. Instead of using the long-form URL or impossible-to-decipher URL shorteners, take out the ‘bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=‘ part of the Bugzilla URL as follows: https://bugs.eclipse.org/277974

If you’re using a self-signed certificate or a certificate signed by your own certificate authority with the Hudson Continuous Integration Server then you may be wondering how to get your iPhone to trust your certificate. Well, you’re in luck because Benjamin Boksa has written an excellent tutorial explaining how to do just that: iPhone OS 3.0 – Root Certificate Authority installation. After following the tutorial you should be able to use Hudson Helper with untrusted certs and your secure Hudson server.

Great introduction video to the Wang Freestyle:

• “First, I turn it into a piece of paper”
• “Get it together guys, get it together”
• “Notice that you can kinda read them”
• “This shows me that this file is stapled together, so I grab my ‘un-stapler’”

The Wang Freestyle cost 1.2 M USD in 1990 and included a phone system which you could not use to make calls, only annotate photographs of files.
