Site updates
You could be hacked too
Sometimes I forget about personal security. From a design perspective this is a relatively easy task with acceptable solutions, whether it be hashing passwords or doing some crazy salt implementation to keep your clients passwords secure. Unfortunately I was a little lazy with my own passwords. My main Dreamhost FTP account was compromised in the [...]
Feedburner and Google?
In case you hadn’t heard, Feedburner was acquired by Google. Feedburner rates as one of my favorite services I use, and a free one at that. They take all the bandwidth to run things too, so your site gets hit by less feed readers by the thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands a day. The [...]
Pagerank of ColdFusion sites
One Firefox extension I’ve always had installed is the SearchStatus extension (I wouldn’t recommend running it at work though, as the Alexa stats can be skewed by a single developer hitting a page repeatedly). I’ve had a few sites throughout the years, none too popular, but to my surprise today I noticed the pagerank on [...]
Cleaning Up the Interface
Spurred by my coworkers recent entry, or reentry, to the blogosphere I decided to do a little updating of my own. For a while now I’ve been wanting a cleaner, easier to extend interface that was more targetted for reading, rather than navigation all around in ways that will generate the most ad revenue. This [...]
Recommend Coldfusion for Dreamhost
Talking with someone from work today about my webhost had me investigating some of the many features that have gone unused on my account. They have great support — either through tickets or their wiki, subversion wherever and whenever you want, the ability to one click install loads of things, you can install trac, Ruby [...]
Playing to Strengths
The hardest thing to work is almost always your weakness. My weakness has historically been design where I end up wasting countless hours trying to do something relatively simple to have it come out looking, well, not so great. This is the kind of thing that I’d happily pay (reasonably) to come up with a [...]
When in doubt
Seems as though it’s a week of re-introductions in the Coldfusion community. After Tim’s post I’d estimate I’ve read at least 10 other such descriptions. Sounds like as good a time as any to do the same!

Want More to Read? Here’s Where to Start!
One thing I hadn’t known about until about August of last year was what a great community Coldfusion, and Adobe in general had. When It came to reading blogs I’d typically only read the ones that came up in the search results, and even then only the posts relevant to the topics at hand. In [...]
Quitting a job, but not a profession
Everyone dreams of the time when they can quit their job. If you’re lucky this rarely happens, but I can’t imagine the idea never crossing someones mind (or if so, please get me an interview there.). The concerns have been there for me since half the development team left around the beginning of last year, [...]
Design and UI Updates
I wish I could take credit for the layout, but it’s a combination of the renown Wordpress K2 system with Steve Lam’s TrueBlue template. Until tonight I hadn’t understood what the hype was about with the K2 theme. It’s much more than a theme however. It’s a entire system for handling the wordpress [...]
