If you're like me, you might be looking for more ways to get feedback about your software's continuous integration build process. Here's one of my favorites: the BuildBunny plug-in for TeamCity will send build status announcements to a Nabaztag rabbit.
Version 0.3 has just been posted (look for it on the Downloads page). This release include several little enhancements to the plug-in, including a patch I contributed that enables you to specify a different Text-To-Speech voice to use for the announcements. To me, the U.S. voices are the lowest fidelity, while some of the U.K. voices are much easier to understand. I like "UK-Leonard" and "UK-Penelope".
If you want to find a list of all the voices supported by your rabbit, you can send it a message using its API. Check for action 9 - "Get a list of all supported languages/voices".
A few months ago I read that Violet, the Nabaztag creator, had filed for bankruptcy. Anyone know what's going on with them?
