Today, all my email but a random 4 ones mysteriously disappeared from my Lotus Notes inbox. (No, the cat didn't eat it).

If you hate notes like me (no, i said HATE), feel free to let it all out right here, right now. In your own language if it makes you feel better. Like this.

Last year, right after joining ThoughtWorks, my colleague Chris Stevenson bounced off an idea to me during a Geek Night:

"How about a tool that deletes all code that isn't tested?".

I am still not sure whether Chris was entirely serious or not, but it was an intriguing idea that I have been thinking about quite often since then.

Now, the idea has been materialised in a new little tool in the Extreme XP Tools family: Guantanamo!

Guantanamo is eating its own dog food, and as a result, it has 100% coverage. I still haven't tried to run it over any other codebases, so it remains to see whether it is useful or not. -And whether it is something anyone would actually want to use.

I'll give it a try at work :-)
