So I'm in the process of switching my main computer over to being a MacBook Pro. I work on VMs all the time and my other windows laptops/desktops are running VMWare Workstation so the natural choice for my new Mac was VMWare Fusion.

VMWare Fusion seemed to work flawlessly at first but then I ran into an issue using GoDiagram. GoDiagram would not paint correctly, it would create a window effect where I would see what was behind it (like looking through a window). My first thought was it must be a buffering problem so I googled around and found nothing. It turns out the solution is simple, going to Virtual Machine->Settings->Display and check Accelerate 3D graphics solved the issue.

The Big Event is coming to Denver on Thursday January 31^st.  What is it, well here is a summary.

Hope to see you there!

I’m making the switch to Jetbrains Team City.  For years I have used Cruise Control .NET and I consider myself pretty knowledgeable in the workings of it.  I can say hands down that I can get a new build machine up running quicker using Team City (which I do not know too much about) than using CC.NET.

Team City walks you through the configuration which then points at your build file.  It also has a nice little feature for displaying build outputs on the web site which is useful for nightly build outputs.  There is Visual Studio integration so if you want to run a personal build all you have to do is click a button in Visual Studio.  If the personal build passes then the code is checked in, otherwise the errors need to be fixed.

Did I mention there is a free version which is what I’m using!

We are excited to announce the newest member of our family, Chloe Luif.  She made her appearance at 8:09am on January 17 and weighed in at 7 lbs and is 20 inches long.  Mom and Dad are doing well and baby is enjoying long naps.
