4 fun uses of Model-Glue
I’ve been slowly learning Model-Glue recently as you probably know if you’re checking the LineOfThought SVN Repository. What has helped the most recently has been reading over Doug Hughes Reactor Sample Blog application, a Model Glue ap that comes packaged in with Reactor. It doesn’t use Unity, but it’s close enough in it’s setup [...]
State of Coldfusion response
Sitepoint posted in their newsletter in August a comment on Coldfusion, stating it was relatively stagnant. Ben Forta, the Senior Coldfusion Evangelist, contacted Kevin Yank, the author of that statement to gain a little more information on the reasoning. Turns out Kevin did a very nice in depth writeup on his opinions which have [...]
Bulletproof Web Design Book Review
I don’t usually recommend books unless they change my point of view on something. Granted I read almost entirely tech and finance books, but most don’t make headlines. One i’ve been reading lately makes the grade — Bulletproof Web Design : Improving flexibility and protecting against worst-case scenarios with XHTML and CSS. It’s [...]
favicon.ico added
Like all blogs these days, I decided to add a favicon recently. In case my Photoshop skills needs interpretation, what you’re looking at are the letters af tied together. It’s actually a lot easier to recognize this in the larger version. Still plan on adding something up top, as it’s looking a little [...]
Max Roundup
Today was the start of Max 2006, Adobes yearly convention exploring emerging developments with an outlook on the new year. With Coldfusion 8, codenamed Scorpio, waiting the weeds, a very recent Flex 2 release and now the much publicized Apollo project, looks like it’s going to be an exciting convention. Here’s some of [...]
Movie list
One of the projects I’d love to work on in the future when i have a better footing with current projects is a system for organizing movies online. There’s surely a million of them out there, but none seem to do what the little ap I made back in college do. The main point of [...]
Advertising, here?
I wouldn’t usually advertise here, but this is a special case. DeveloperCircuit is an Adobe related jobs board (at the moment at least) with an entire slew of Coldfusion and Flex jobs. My work, FCE, even posted seeking a Senior level ColdFusion Developer. Hope the site does well!
Subversion repository up and running!
Dreamhost really does have a lot of extremely useful features. Aside from rails support and the one click install/upgrades for wordpress and phpbb, they have one thing you rarely find — Subversion support! You can create as many repo’s as you want. By default when you create a repository you can specify public or private. [...]
Coldfusion syntax highlighting!
It was long overdue, but I setup code highlighting. There is an amazingly easy to install Wordpress plugin called Code For Fun that expands on GeSHi Syntax highlighting. Although Coldfusion wasn’t initially available, it easily added by just dropping in a cfm.php file into the folder, thereafter associating code within [CFM][/CFM] blocks with coldfusion. [...]
Fusebox and Frameworks Survey
If you’re thinking about attending the Fusebox and Frameworks convention next february, keep an eye on their website. The date is announced (February 1st and 2nd) but the location is still up in the air, although I’ll be shocked if it’s not at the usual Marriott. If you’re going, or even thinking about it, be [...]
