Useless facts about Continuous Integration book

I wrote much of Continuous Integration in either a Starbucks or Panera
I took off about five weeks from work (at various times) to write the book - along with numerous weekends and late nights
I decided to write Continuous Integration while on a train from Rome to Florence, Italy in June 2004. Addison-Wesley accepted my proposal in late 2004
