Hi all
Just thought that I'd share my learnings in case there's anyone else looking to do the same thing as I was: run scheduled jobs on a CI site hosted on MS Azure (for db tidying, archiving, any scheduled maintenance type tasks).
Instructions and non-working demo are on bitbucket if anyone's trying to solve the same problem (the online help in Azure was great, but the specifics of working it for a CI site using your usual MVC pattern were pretty absent), so I thought I'd share.
