Bubble, Bubble, Build's In Trouble

Here's a novel and fun way to alert the team when your automatic build tests start failing - light up a green lava lamp when everything's OK, and light up a red one when a test has failed.

The article explains what X10 home automation equipment you'll need, how to hook it all together, and how to interface it to your build machine so that the right lamp lights up in response to the output of your test framework.

It's more interesting than just sending emails out to the team!
