No gin tonight - had a wine tasting instead, 5 whites, one Rose and 6 reds.

Ok everyone, here is your chance to get away from Global Warming, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and etc. Plus you might actually get to meet Bob.
Excerpt from the site:
In 2013 Mars One will conduct a global search to find the best candidates for the first human mission to Mars in 2023. On Mars, the primary responsibility for the astronauts is to keep everything, and everyone, up and running. The astronauts must be intelligent, creative, psychologically stable and physically healthy.
Mars One accepts applicants from any country in the world.
Once on Mars, there is no means to return to Earth.
The astronaut selection program will start in the first half of 2013.

That is SOO kind of you to say!
There's lots of demolition going on in Sea Bright - dozens of buildings need to be razed to make way for the new. Only two businesses have reopened in town, a Chinese restaurant, and a mom-and-pop hardware store.
By sheer coincidence, a beach replenishment project had already been scheduled long before the storm arrived, so they were able to begin dredging soon after the storm was gone. At least the beach will be ready for tourists by the summer of 2013, but nobody knows when the rest of town will be normal again.
Thanks for your post, and it's good to be back!

I am going to be working on my build/source control server later today, and it will be running Windows Server 2012 Standard (Or Datacenter, I have product keys for both through DreamSpark). Instead of IIS, I will be using Apache as the web server, as I like it better than IIS, as IIS has so many "features" that it is hard to figure out what an error message means, and sometimes an error message may not point to the actual problem (although WS2012 and Windows 8 are actually rather good at giving helpful information on errors!). Most of those kinds of useless error messages are usually from 3rd party products (with PHP being one of them, but it is not as bad as some others!), though.
I will be using Jenkins as the build/CI server, and Mercurial as the source control system.
Wish me luck in getting it to work. And yes, I have RTFM!

I lost count. I kept reading it over and over because there are a lot of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot things there (It is sometimes worse than documentation from Microsoft!).

I'm puzzled. What's your motivation to set it up on Windows?
I mean, what you're telling me is something as simple as running the Kubuntu setup, followed by
sudo apt-add-repository https://launchpad.net/~mercurial-ppa/+archive/releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 323293EE
sudo apt-get install mercurial apache tomcat6 jenkins
I didn't check the details, but that should be it, give or take some package names on the last command line. That gives you a fully working and configured setup, where all components are already integrated, on an OS with reportedly better IO performance (which should help at least the web server), and which also updates everything by itself, not just the OS, without breaking things. Why would you download and install each component individually, and go through the hurdles of installing an OS which ?

I am using the server as a build server for my .NET applications. I decided to have Jenkins poll my BitBucket repositories every so often instead of installing the HGWeb system. It saved me some headaches in the long run.

Hi,
About the source control system, I prefer to GIT.
Git is the same distributed type as Mercurial.
|
|
|
|
|
I never was able to 'git' the hang of that system.

I honestly like Mercurial better. I find it easier to use.

Sounds like a solid combination, though I'd recommend going with Standard rather than Datacenter, as the latter is way overkill.
I reckon the first time you set up a CI server is a bit of a lightbulb moment. Certainly the first time I did it (with CruiseControl.NET rather than Jenkins) I could only think "why on earth didn't we do this sooner?".
Have fun!

I am using standard. I have use Jenkins before, and it is very easy to use. I haven't actually set it up yet (I just have Apache sorta set up), but will get it set up soon (hopefully). I have found Apache easier to use, but the configuration is a little odd sometimes.

It's a while since I've set up an Apache install, but I seem to remember the config being a bit weird in places.
I've not setup a Jenkins server though - must get around to that one day, if for no other reason that we really should get on with writing a Jenkins plug-in for Visual Lint.

The configuration for Apache 2.4.3 (The latest version) is somewhat better than earlier versions. The PHP configuration is rather self explanatory (Thanks to all of the comments(!) in the configuration files). MySQL, though, is a pain-in-the-posterior to set up correctly. I have Jenkins working now, and I have Apache set up as a reverse proxy to the Jenkins instance.
I think I will just set up the mercurial binaries and have Jenkins poll my BitBucket repositories every so often, and build when there is a change. That will save me some headaches getting Mercurial's web system working correctly. That is a massive headache, on Windows and (somewhat less so) on Linux. Most problems are due to IIS being unhelpful, but there are some quirks in the Mercurial configuration system that cause some rather unusual error messages from Mercurial itself.
I still have some work to do, though.
As an afterthought, I am thinking of setting up a Windows Service to pull updates from my BitBucket repositories every so often, and have Jenkins build if there is an update. That will allow me to configure the build system to use post commit hooks and the like, and might make things easier in the long run.

I guess you are using Windows because the very best money co clients love Windows. If not, just use Linux. It makes no sense to use a parody of a server OS if you do not want to use ASP .NET and the rest of Microsoft technologies, which indeed have enough unique features to justify Windows, but only if you really need them.

Good luck!
I can't believe how far behind the times I am...On of my ongoing tasks is replacing my 9 y/o w2k3 home/office server with a new (actually built a year and a half ago) box running w2k8 Standard.
I think it is an indication of how much better and more reliable hardware has become over the last 10-12 years. The old server's 2.8Ghz P4 still gets the job done. Hopefully, the new server and I will be due for retirement at about the same time!

I used WS2K8 before, and the configuration on it was a little, well, out there, to say the least. WS2K12 is actually rather easy to set up and configure, and has the useful ability to manage multiple servers at once. So you can, say, have one central management server with a GUI, and use it to manage a number of other servers without GUIs. Or you can just use Powershell.

The server is working perfectly fine (other than MySQL, that is a PITA to make work).

Damn I blogged recently with a post "DirectX made simple"
But, while I worked at night secretly in my bunker programming away, I made an even more simple, yet more potent, sample!
I want to blog again about it, of course, but how could I call it??
mm.... 
DirectX made even simpler?
