Good User Interface Idea

Posted On March 21, 2008 5:25 PM By Phil in General,ColdFusion

Today, I booked my registration for CFUnited, the hotel, and tickets for traveling to DC for CFUnited. The one thing I saw in each was something that I hadn't seen before, the ability to send a confirmation email to more than one address. I was able to send one to my personal and one to my work. Maybe I'm late to the party on this concept, but seriously, whoever decided that was a good paradigm in a user interface, kudos to you.

Restarting the User Group Manager Project

Posted On February 26, 2008 6:51 PM By Phil in Projects, User Group Manager,ColdFusion

I updated the User Group Manager project over at RIAForge. Things got so crazy with me last year as well as a few of the guys that were going to help me on it that it kinda fell by the wayside. I am going to essentially start from scratch and the only requirements to run it will be ColdFusion 8 and a database, initially to be MySQL, but others will follow. I'll figure out how much time I can put forth over the next few months (in other words, check with the wife on what house projects she has me lined up for) and come up with a rough time line for completing certain areas, which I'll publish here and on the project's blog. As always, thoughts and ideas are welcome!

Our illustrious Philly CFUG leader, Steve Rittler posted a response to a member's question on the requirements for installing and using Flex Builder from a CF developer's perspective. It's a good overview of the minimal requirements. Check it out.

A Good Night!

Posted On February 26, 2008 1:12 PM By Phil in Flash,AIR,Flex,CFUG,ColdFusion

Last night, the 3 local Philly user groups threw a release party for Flex 3 and AIR 1.0. A big thanks to the guys at Independence Hall for hosting the event. IndyHall is a coworking organization that rents space in a building in Old City to those work work from home, telecommute or just want to get out of the stuff office.

The event itself was a good networking event with pizza, soda, and Red Bull for all. A short video of the AIR team was shown, narrated by Kevin Lynch. After that, a demo was down connecting the Wii remote with Flash, pretty cool stuff. After that, two copies of Flex Builder were given away, one version 2 with charting and the other version 3 Professional, many t-shirts (apparently Steve will be giving these away forever), and bunch of the eBoy AIR Launch Posters, of which I won one. Now the question is where to put it in the house

Anyways, thanks to all who made last night possible and I look forward to future meetings of the Flash, Flex, and ColdFusion user groups in Philly and some more cross group networking events!

Philly CFUG Meetings

Posted On October 30, 2007 5:46 PM By Phil in CFUG,ColdFusion

It looks like Steve has lined up some meetings for the Philly CFUG for the rest of the year. The presentations and organization are spearheaded by Terrence Ryan. Terry, I'm guessing you emailed Steve (or got caught online) and asked when our next meeting, and thus, volunteered yourself. Anyways, I hope to see all the CF developers in the Philly area at these meetings.

New Host - HostMySite

Posted On August 31, 2007 6:52 AM By Phil in Hosting,ColdFusion

For those that may have come to my site yesterday, you would have noticed either an "Under Construction" default page or an error. I decided to switch hosting companies yesterday, taking advantage of HostMySite's savings as the result of signing up for their CF8 hosting plan that many in the community did. I am very impressed so far with the level of support. I had a few issues with ordering and getting the discounts, but they settled them right away. Their support team was very quick in responding to my two requests that I needed worked out to get the site back up and running.
