Would have been more excited it they had offered a hosted CI service, still looks cool tho.

That's tremendously difficult given security concerns. Not only would build servers have access to source code, but they would also be running arbitrary user-supplied code of an indeterminate nature.

I'm just surprised they wrote yet-another-build-server with a small feature foot print -- but the more the merrier. More software around automated building is a good thing.

CPAN runs code automatically.

Yeah very true. The providers that are doing are doing constrained things like Rails CI. I think thats fine, I just need a place for my smaller client projects that can run Rails or Flex unit tests without me setting up a dedicated slice and having to manage that.

They mention run code run (http://runcoderun.com/) which is hosted CI.

It's released under the MIT license. Sounds like an opportunity to me :)
