Einstein wasn’t wrong when he said the only thing that got in the way of his learning was his education. Learning how to think — creatively to solve problems, to find dots and connect them, are skills that are hard to find, hard to develop, especially when we can get into a trance with technology.
I think we’re most alive when we create.

Ooops – Automation can be dangerous
24, Feb 2010So… had a bit of a mixup.
February was a bit of a busy month for me so I wrote some content in advance to publish for sure, and to add more when I had the chance..
Evidently, PHP and wordpress do not work out of the box to automaticaly publish scheduled content.
Maybe I should go to a ColdFusion blog. 
In any event, my apologies, I’ll post the rest and it should show up on the RSS feeds.

In creating software, be it a startup or a client project, key decisions need to be made and implemented based on security.
In the world of security I have learnt a few things, usually the long way.

Great Software Systems
2, Jan 2010Happy New Year!
The past few weeks I’ve been thinking about how I’d like to continue to build in 2010.
Whether you are on the business side of technology, or the implementation side, there are some common elements to all projects no matter the viewpoint.
Great software systems:
Make users great. Make your users awesome at what they do [...]

It’s always interesting to see the design / default setting considerations made in software.
One that has always stuck out to me is I can’t figure out for the life of me why most IDE’s don’t enable line numbers by default. No matter what we write, sooner or later we have to refer to the line number.
Luckily for Adobe’s ColdFusion Builder,

One of the neat discoveries about ColdBox is the ColdBox plugin for Adobe ColdFusion Builder.
Here’s the problem… I couldn’t get the ColdBox Platform Extension installed in ColdFusion Builder with the existing instructions in the link above. I suspect the older version of the ColdFusion Builder allowed you to do it from more than one location.

Impressions of ColdBox 3.0
19, Dec 2009Once you’re past why someone would develop a new program in ColdFusion, you find a rich community of developers, examples, libraries and frameworks.
I’ve been playing around with the ColdBox Framework for ColdFusion for a few months.
What lead me to ColdBox was a period of discovering and playing around with the discoveries I made with ColdFusion 9 and it’s killer Hibernate ORM integration.
I could no longer program, ever again until ColdFusion 9 came out.. it made for a slower fall on new projects. I decided to dust off the old exploration cap and started looking at what was new and developing in the ColdFusion world.

How a Great Design goes to hell
7, Dec 2009I received this funny comic and it got me thinking…..
I have often wondered how a relationship between specialist (Web, designer, programmer, etc.,) can sometimes turn into the customer believing they understand everything better than the specialist, and how to do it.
This is when phrases like:
“Couldn’t you just..”
“All you have to do..”
“It should be pretty simple..”
“Can’t we make it really simple on the screen? Why would that be more work to do it all behind the scenes?”
become more, and more common.
Problem? I don’t know.
