So, he thought that maybe if he acted &amp;quot;crazy&amp;quot; then his boss would tell him to take a few days off.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So he hung himself upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. His co-worker saw him and asked what he was doing. He told her that he is just pretending to be a light bulb so that the boss will think he is crazy and give him a few days off.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A few minutes later the boss came into the 0ffice and asked &amp;quot;What are you doing?&amp;quot; The employee told him &amp;quot;I am a light bulb&amp;quot;. Then the boss said to him: &amp;quot;You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The employee jumped down and walked out of the 0ffice. When the co-worker followed him, the boss asked her &amp;quot;And where do you think you're going?&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She answered, &amp;quot;I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark.&amp;quot;</description></item><item><title>Continuous Integration with Cruise Control.NET, NANT, and the Ambient Orb</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/pages/169058.aspx#565862</link><pubDate>Fri, 31 Mar 2006 16:29:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:565862</guid><dc:creator>Jeff Cleath</dc:creator><description>After learning about the concept of continuous integration, I became&amp;amp;amp;nbsp;interested in building a continuous...</description></item><item><title>this is very good</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/pages/169058.aspx#570723</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Apr 2006 14:44:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:570723</guid><dc:creator>this is very good</dc:creator><description>good related article</description></item><item><title>Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene #3</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/pages/169058.aspx#653005</link><pubDate>Sat, 01 Jul 2006 04:20:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:653005</guid><dc:creator>Nick Hodges</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>Continuous Integration with CC.Net and Dell XPS LED &amp;amp;quot;Ambient&amp;amp;quot; Lights</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/pages/169058.aspx#675789</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Jul 2006 18:24:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:675789</guid><dc:creator>scott</dc:creator><description>Automated Continuous Integration and using an Ambient orb for notification was very well described in...</description></item><item><title>Use the Dell XPS LEDs to Monitor Your Build Status</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/pages/169058.aspx#675915</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Jul 2006 21:40:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:675915</guid><dc:creator>Michael Swanson's Blog</dc:creator><description>Nearly two years ago, while I was still working for Microsoft Consulting Services in the field, I posted...</description></item><item><title>re: Automated Continuous Integration and the Ambient Orb™</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/pages/169058.aspx#741506</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Sep 2006 22:18:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:741506</guid><dc:creator>Jimmy Miller</dc:creator><description>This is too cool. &amp;nbsp;I am sitting here shaking my head.</description></item><item><title>Version 8 and dictating in Microsoft Word.</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/pages/169058.aspx#3499677</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Jun 2007 16:00:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:3499677</guid><dc:creator>Roy Thomas</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking since 2000. &amp;nbsp;Although I am seriously contemplating upgrading to version 9, I have recently experienced a problem with dictating in Microsoft Word. &amp;nbsp;In fact, version 8 will no longer dictate into Microsoft Word. &amp;nbsp;Have you had a problem with this, and do you have any clue how to correct this issue?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Automated Continuous Integration and the Ambient Orb™</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/pages/169058.aspx#8372385</link><pubDate>Wed, 09 Apr 2008 16:59:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8372385</guid><dc:creator>Chris Chandler</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;TrackBack,&lt;/p&gt;
