I had the pleasure of working an issue just the other day where an internal web application didn’t seem to be responding. At first I suspected some type of bug in environment configuration, or some other type of obscure thing. The app worked in other environments, so that was my first suspicion. After a bit [...]

Join me tomorrow night at the Dallas/Ft. Worth ColdFusion User Group meeting where Dave Shuck will be presenting a beginner’s introduction to ColdSpring and dependency injection, following by yours truly presenting Chapter 7 of the Head First Design Patterns book: Adapter and Facade patterns. There is usually food, nerds, and a chance to network and [...]

While watching a movie on TV last night, Daylight specifically (yes, the one with Sylvester Stallone), I received an email that had me as excited as if I was going to see Metallica in concert.
