MbUnit @ Tigris Open for Business
If you've been following Peli's blog you will know that he has been swallowed up by the big ship and is now working on the CLR JIT testing team. This put the future of MbUnit up in the air for a while as the legal situation was clarified with his new employer. Now the dust has settled a bit, it is clear that Peli will only people able to contibute to the project in an advisory capacity. It makes sense for MbUnit to be passed back to the community with a new captain. I am pleased to announce that Andrew Stopford has stepped forward to take the helm.

Cheeky way to Build XML
Concratulations Aaron Skonnard! As well as being a scary thought, that is a very concise way to build XML.

.NET Celebrity Auction
Julia Lerman is auctioning off a bunch of her friends on eBay (with their consent as I understand it). These people happen to be well known personalities on the .NET conference and blogging scene. At the moment you can pick up an hour of consultancy time for a little over $100. Considering that you can't usually buy quality consultancy by the hour, this is obscenely good value!

Testing Internal Methods
Over on the Windojitsu blog, Shawn has come up with a minimalist alternative to NUnit. The main reason given is not wanting to inflict a dependency on anyone who wants to build his project.

ResX Sucks!
Shawn has 5 reasons to hate ResX files! He also has a ResXCop tool to help keep your ResX files .NET 1.0 compatible. I'm hoping the MSBuild team will have solved some of these issues.

Your Place in the Cosmos
To claim your place in the LinkCosmos, all you need do it submit this simple form. All I'm asking is for permission to link to you (as per the privacy policy). I'm surprised how few of the people who left URLs in the original survey have opted-in.

TestDriven.NET Link Cosmos
If you filled in the TestDriven.NET survey in the last couple of days, you will have seen a 'Show' option on the 'Weblog/Home Page' question. If you selected 'Show', then your link may appear on the TestDriven.NET website. Today I'm opening a new section on the site called the "LinkCosmos". For the moment, this is where user links will appear. -
TestDriven.NET Launch Report
Two weeks after the launch of TestDriven.NET 1.0, I'm still feeling quite giddy from the all positive feedback. I knew there were a few enthusiastic users out there, but I was quite taken aback by the response. Thank you everyone for your support! If it carries on like this I'm confident we will get integrated unit testing out to the masses. There is still a loooong way before every mort, elvis and einstein has heard of TestDriven.NET. Erring on the optimistic side, 0.1% of .NET developers have tried using the add-in. I like to think a few more than that could benefit from using it.
