My guess is that most of the week will be spent on setting up the computer, and learn the new organisation and domain.

I’m finding myself writing more and more code in go, so i thought it were about time i got some CI up and running. Pretty much when that idea popped into my head, i got a mail from snap-ci. So i thought i would give it a go. Snap is a product developed by ThoughtWorks, and it seems like a nice take on the whole CI thing. But it seems that golang isn’t supported out of the box, however we can hack it a little bit to make it work :)
