non-random ramble

have signed up for feed burner and the thoughtblog blog is now available on:

feed://feeds.feedburner.com/jimbarritt-tw

Also waiting for the launch, we found this:

ok i only just discovered this on WPress, thanks to my freind Simon http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/ i had it al ready to go but just needed to activate it in the plugins editor. It needs a word press api key which you get by signing up on the wordpress site.

Have been waiting for the launch of our new exciting blogs on the guardian site, e.g. Science Blog and in the meantime working on this, my blog. I want to be able to feed some of my posts to the thoughtworks blogspace, blogs.thoughtworks.com and have discovered that wordpress ROCKS at this. you simply put the category name and /feeds at the end, e.g. : feed://jimbarritt.com/non-random/category/agile/feed sweet as!

So I will create a new category called thoughtblog and then just assign this to each post i want to include!

nice.

MY GOD!

you would think this was easy eh?

I found this link which states “setting the date and time into a variable in dos is relatively easy“.

hmmm..

here it is (this example is a wrapper for good ol’ ant) :

@echo off

call ..\\tools\\ant\\bin\\ant -f r2build\\build.xml %*

FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%A IN ('DATE/T') DO SET today=%%A
FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%A IN ('TIME/T') DO SET now=%%A

@echo.
@echo Build completed on %today% at %now%
@echo.
