Gotta love schwag. even the unfree kind

Mark drew posted a link to a cafe press store for CFEclipse goodies.
I’ll admit. I picked up some stuff. I’m always in the market for a good t-shirt, and you can never have enough coasters. I was a little bummed there was no cfeclipse thong, but I guess they know their market :)
2x and [...]

CFUnited Schedule

Well since everyone else is doing it. Here’s my CFUnited schedule in PDF form. I know, I know. everybody will get a chance to stop in and say hello, now that you know where I will be at any given point in the day :)
Try to not mob me all at once, I bruise easy.

Bad programmer checklist

Saw this posted on CNET. Damien Katz has a checklist to see if you’re a bad programmer.
It’s rather funny, some of the items on it.
Having just come from Argent Mortgage, land of the "enterprise" app, the 7 servers per environment for a ColdFusion website.

"Enterprisey" isn’t a punchline to you.
This is serious [...]

Project Apollo, Cool!

Saw this article on news.com, about Macrodobia’s project Apollo, no it has nothing to due with Gods, or Battlestar Galactica. Rather it has to do with bringng down the wall that seperates web applications, RIAs, from desktop and client server applications.

RIAs, at least the Macrodobia kind, rely on the internet. There are of course ways [...]

Flex/ColdFusion goodness

Just to be on the bandwagon. Flex 2 Beta 3 is out. Get it here. See what’s new Here.

well if Verizon says it’s ok, it must be ok…

cnet news has a listing of articles on the net nuetrality battle. Some are downright retarded, I mean, really retarded….

Verizon says Net neutrality is overhyped
Really? Verizon says it’s no biggy? Well shucks then what am I worrying about. One of the companies that stands to win big by charging for a tiered internet says it’s [...]

this will be a good resource for Flex

Tom’s latest blog posting, which are far too infrequent, pointed me to this site. Flexarch

FAST and cairngorm are vastly popular, but not applicable for every app. As is always the case with frameworks. I’ve used FAST, and seen some cairngorm. Both are nice. Neither is the unanimous only solution. Not to mention, FAST hasn’t [...]

Progress in my Flex work

I made a (albeit small) break through in my struggles to master Flex 2 development. Tom and I have been working together (meaning he’s been giving me lots of pointers on ActionScript syntax) over the last 3 days or so on getting my app to talk to the login web service I wrote. Today it [...]

Save the Internet(s)

Scott sent this to me. I’ve been aware of Net Nuetrality for a little while, so signing the petition to keep it nuetral.

In typical Congressional fashion, our elected officials are selling us up the river in favor of big business.

Go sign the petition, be active, you can’t bitch about it if you haven’t done anything [...]
