Access a Mercurial (BitBucket) repository using SSH key from TeamCity

By on September 15, 2011 in Tips & Tricks

This post outlines the problem pretty well as wall as part of the solution: http://weichhold.com/2010/08/12/using-mercurial-over-ssh-with-private-key-in-teamcity-ci/ However our build server did not read the mecurial.ini file when placed in the SysWOW64/config/systemprofile folder.

Watin and portable Firefox

By on March 15, 2011 in Tips & Tricks, Web Development

I stumbled over this thread in the Watin archives and thought that it sounded like a great idea to use a portable bundle of Firefox for our acceptance tests. However it took some more effort in getting this thing to work than just changing the FireFox.PathToExe property. Changing just the property will just make Watin [...]

Komprimera dokument med PDF

By on January 6, 2010 in Tips & Tricks

PowerPoint-presentationer och Word-dokument lämpar sig väldigt bra att komprimera till PDF. Här ska jag visa hur man kan komprimera en presentation på 2½ MB till ungefär en tiondel av dess originalstorlek. Senare versioner av Office paketet kan själv exportera till PDF. Har man inte tillgång till senare versionen av Microsofts Office paket så kan man [...]
