Well, after listing my favourite albums of 2006 I thought I’d put up a list of my top 10 songs for 2006. Most of these can be found on the albums previously mentioned, but some can’t and it would be a shame to leave them out. Also, I’m only listing one song per album to prevent the list from becoming redundant.

So here they are, starting with the most played:

Crazy by Gnarls Barkley from the album St. Elsewhere (US and UK)
Number 1 by Goldfrapp from the album Supernature (US or UK)
Black Grease by the Black Angels from the album Passover (US or UK)
Piano Man by Ghostland Observatory from the album Paparazzi Lightning (Currently not available at Amazon.ca, but you can check Amazon.com to see when/if they get it in stock)
Wolf Like Me by TV on the Radio from the album Return To Cookie Mountain (US or UK)
You Only Live Once by The Strokes from the album First Impressions of Earth (Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk)
Over and Over by Hot Chip from the album The Warning (US or UK)
We Make It Rock by Kids In Tracksuits from the album New Kids Rock the Block (US or UK)
What’s the Altitude (Featuring Hymnal) by Cut Chemist from the album The Audience’s Listening (US and UK)
Way Out by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs from the album Show Your Bones (US and UK)

Installing a specific version of CMake in a docker image

Sometime last year I needed to get a specific version of CMake (3.6.2) installed in a CentOS 7 Docker image. The Docker image (via a Dockerfile) was being used in a Jenkins declarative pipeline. The version of the CMake yum package for CentOS 7 is 2.8.12.

Install Docker on Ubuntu with Ansible

I like to use Docker as much as possible for Jenkins builds since it simplifies the agent infrastructure – the agents just need to have git, java (jdk or jre) and Docker installed. I typically install Docker on Ubuntu via the instructions on the Docker website. The instructions recommend using the
