We're just checking the setup I put together last night is working and if it
is, I'll write up a blog post and point to it from here with the deets. Not

Basically, was an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on EC2 small instance with Hudson, github
integration, xvfb and firefox and cucumber and capybara.

Sound good?
Daryl.
