Why this post has been removed?
The reason why this post has been removed is because the new grease monkey does not allow by default the interception of files. So, the Build Dashboard Readiator that I had posted was not working on the new grease monkey. It’s fixed now!!! 
To enable that, you have to open firefox config page with about:config and change the property greasemonkey.fileIsGreaseable to true. Thanks Dave for that.

Thanks, I needed that! I’ll use your Dashboard very soon
Looks good.
However I would argue that CI is only useful if you always panic if the light isn’t green. Therefore, just a green/red light would be enough. A red light should mean: “New problem found, make understanding me your top priority”
If you’re in the position where you have “tests we know fail” or worse still “tests we know sometimes fail” then raise defects in your bug tracker against them then suppress those tests (with @Ignore for example). They will only hide realy problems by “crying wolf”.
Time to wrap up the compliment sandwich…
I’m sure a lot of people will find your work useful and thanks for posting!
Ivan Moore’s build-o-matic does a great job of a build radiator (http://ivan.truemesh.com/archives/000654.html), so good that someone wrote a plugin for teamcity to mimic it (http://code.google.com/p/team-piazza/wiki/Screenshots). Showing the picture of those that checked in since the last successful build is a great incentive to fix it.
