I created a Campfire notifier plugin for CC.rb. It's plug and play. Drop it in your builder_plugins/installed dir in Cruise Control, set your login in the YAML, and you'll get chat room updates with every svn commit, including test failure alerts.
Are you a hacker who likes to make music? You know how you feel precise control when you write code you understand, but you have to filter your understanding of your music through oversimplified GUIs which sometimes have terrible UX? I made a series of videos which teaches you how to write music sequencing software in Node.js and CoffeeScript. When I do it, I experience a clarity which makes it easy for me to make more exciting sounds. You may have the same experience. Upcoming episodes will also teach you how to use simple probabilistic artificial intelligence to write code which writes its own music (which I've already done in Ruby).
