Not Strictly TDD but *QUAD* GPU SLI!!!!

Saw this on Tom's Hardware and just had to say "WOW" - special preview since they only produced 2000 for circulation to the press.

Dual GPU Gfx cards in an SLI configuration..... bleh! Each card sports 2x N7800GT 256MB GPU yielding a shopping 1GB DDR3 Ram in SLI mode.... gibber!

Pros - they look like the batmobile.

Cons - they need their own power bricks LOL - not exactly LAN friendly if you ask me but hey.

What next - multiple rigs configured in a game processing cluster - hmmmmm......

Season's Greetings!

Merry Christmas to one and all!

That said - I am working on a smart little library to go with NUnit 2.2 for xml and xhtml comparison. The xml comparison stuff is all but done now - I am still working on the xhtml comparison though as it's a little more complex.

My idea is that I'd like an Assertion library which allows comparison of xml and xhtml on something higher than a string comparison level. This will allow 2 pieces of xml to be the same if their attributes are in a different order: <xmlTest attrA="a" attrB="b" /> matches <xmlTest attrB="b" attrA="a" />

The xhtml stuff is a tad trickier since I would like to be able to compare xhtml based upon what the output would be e.g. <b><i>Test</i></b> will match with <i><b>Test</b></i>.

I have also written a large word document on configuring Cruise Control .Net on single/multiple machines for single/multiple project builds including NUnit, NMock, TypeMock, NCover and Vil coverage reports using my customised NCover xslt etc. It includes a troubleshooting section of common problems and solutions and is fully illustrated with screenshots etc. I should be able to make this available once I have sorted out with Spence where I can make it available from.

Luckily, I have 2 weeks off over Chrimble so I should be able to sort all this out and get it posted before I go on holiday in the New Year!
