Below you will see an empty box. That is not a mistake.

I created the @wixtoolset Twitter account late last year. The account sat mostly dormant until two weeks ago when I started experimenting with posting to Twitter (tweeting?) from the command-line. After a couple tests, I integrated the experiment into the WiX toolset build process so every build makes a status update to the account. You can see an example here.

It was six weeks ago that a full blue moon graced my bug charts for the first time. Tonight it happened again but with half of the bugs. That right, tonight we hit 5 bugs and all of them are open against Votive.

Pretty quiet night tonight fixing bugs on the WiX toolset. That was pretty much expected since there aren't many bugs left.

Tonight was another good night for the WiX toolset. We're down one more bug from last week leaving us with 6 bugs.

I have to admit, this week I was worried that we weren't going to be able to meet last week's bug count for the WiX toolset.

Quiet night of bug fixing here.

Jenny and I invited Bob over for dinner the week before he moved east. He and I spent much of the time talking about new plans for the WiX toolset since Visual Studio decided to not ship it. I had a proposal and wanted to vet it with him. By the end of the evening Bob liked the idea so I ran it by the Visual Studio team. Candy worked up a full proposal and last week they agreed.
