Orange and the iPhone 4

I've been VERY critical of Orange lately.

They sweet talked me into 18 months of mobile hell with a "you don't want one of those iPhones, here's a great deal on a Windows Mobile that's just as good" patter...

Their website is completely mental and their client "portal" even more so...it's a self-service thing that's never working and to cap it all cos I never used it (only once in a blue moon) they removed my account...

All is forgiven though...

They announced the "register your iPhone4 interest" across all the major uk carriers earlier in the month. That day I headed over to the Orange site - haha, there it is, a banner saying click here..so I did and got a standard ASP.NET error page, it looked like no default document on the site..what if I try adding /register.aspx to the url?

Bingo - I'm in and have my "interest" registered.

Today I get an email from them saying as I'm a good customer that's just gone out of contract I can get a priority upgrade on the iPhone4 call 150 (free) to find out more...so I did...and have a spanking new iPhone4 being delivered tomorrow.

Orange - I love you....

Bonus: My piece of crap HTC Diamond is actually worth £50 - I'd happily pay £50 to see it annihilated in the most awful way possible to be honest but it makes the cost of the iPhone upgrade even more sweeter.

Walk-Thru: Using Wolfpack to automatically deploy and smoke test your system

First, some history... The advent of NuGet has revolutionised many many aspects of the .Net ecosystem; MyGet, Chocolatey & OctopusDeploy to name a few solutions building upon its success bring even more features to the table. I also spotted that NuGet could solve a problem I was having with my OSS System Monitoring software Wolfpack ; essentially this is a core application framework that uses plugins for extension ( Wolfpack Contrib ) but how to unify, standardise and streamline how these plugins are made available? NuGet to the rescue again - I wrapped the NuGet infrastructure (I deem NuGet to be so ubiquitous and stable that is has transcended into the software "infrastrucuture" hall of fame) with a new OSS project called Sidewinder . Sidewinder allows me to wrap all my little extension and plugins in NuGet packages and deploy them directly from the Wolfpack application - it even allows me to issue a new version of Wolfpack and have Wolfpack update itself, sweet huh...

Configuration in .Net 2.0

11-Dec-2007 Update I've updated this post to fix the broken images and replaced them with inline text for the example xml and accompanying C# code. This post has been by far the most hit on this blog and along with the comments about the missing images I thought it was time to update it! Whilst recreating the examples below I zipped up the working source code and xml file and loaded this onto my Project Distributor site - please download it to get a full working custom configuration to play with! Just click on the CustomConfigExampleSource link on the right hand side, then the "Source" link to get the zip. We are in the process of converting our codebase to .Net 2.0. We've used Enterprise Library to great effect so decided that we should continue with this in the form of the Jan 2006 release which targets 2.0 and I've got the job of porting our Logging, Data Access etc wrappers to EntLib 2.0. ...And so far so good - the EntLib docs aren't bad and the migrati...

Deployment - the final (.Net) frontier

[Update 19th Apr 2012] - mission complete!...v2.4.0 of Wolfpack has been released and this includes a new set of plugins that can automatically download a NuGet package then execute a deployment tool (eg: DropkicK, MSBuild.exe) - it can even run NUnit tests (via the console runner). Wolfpack v2.4.0 Wolfpack.Contrib.Deployment [Original Post] Another day, another project and deployment raises its head... Thinking that this problem must have been cracked by now I had a look around the .Net landscape and found two interesting solutions. Octopus Deploy - a .Net convention based deployment system using NuGet packages, loosely based on AppHarbour's approach. DropkicK (aka DK) - another awesome initiative from Dru Sellers et al. I like the simplicity of Octopus but also like DK's fluent code based deployment. Hmmm, this has got me thinking - Wolfpack could easily be adapted to be used as a deployment agent. Wolfpack can already monitor a NuGet feed for new pac...
