Programming feels like being drunk...

Happy refactoring! :)

Hey folks,

we are really sorry not to have posted for such a long time... we are now working hard on the project but as you can imagine, we can only be proud for our progress when there is a VISIBLE result. There are many interesting things around the BPEL4LEGO-Engine and all the SOA-related ESB-things, but posts about that (maybe including screencasts) are really time-consuming in creation. So please wait for our next intermediate presentation to be held on november 30th - after that, we surely have some nice more stuff for you.

In the meantime, I have a nice screenshot for you:


This screen shows our Mule component responsible for external SOAP calls by NXTs. The first approach needed nearly 500 LOCs and finally didn't work ;) - Now I found a new approach reducing the code to 130 LOCs! YEEEEEEHA ;)!

Cheers
Tim

StockRobot helped us reducing calories for lunch :)

The StockRobot formerly had some balance problems, but with MILSANI durable cream (sorry, no website available), everything works perfect! See below:

Small correction ^^

Hey folks,

I'm sorry, the last svnstat report included our sandbox projects with some test code and full Eclipse workspaces... :) Here's the LOC history only for the "real" code:

Project evolution

This is one of the nice graphs statsvn can create for SVN repositories. A great tool that generates many more of useful reports!


If we really have nearly 50.000 LOCs now, where will the project end? What if someone would request JavaDoc comments ;) ?

LoadingBridge 2.0 and PacketElevator 2.0 moving!

The first version of the LoadingBridge and the PacketElevator unfortunately were not fault-tolerant by construction, cause the claws were moved up and down with a tiny rope - now our harbor engineers used a gear bar for the LoadingBridge and a long gearless bar in combination with two big rubber wheels for the PacketElevator. See the results below:
