John Ramon - ColdFusion Blog - My Alternate Reality

It's been to long...

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:21:21 MST

So over the last few months my work load has doubled, and I'm not complaining. In March we sold our company and now are a division of a large company now. Cool thing is things haven't changed, just my work load. I'm doing more personal projects at night so I should have more time to do CF fun stuff.

One last thing I need to say thanks to Ben Nadel for helping me a few times over the last 6 months.

Where is John?

I'm sure someone has wondered where I've been, but for most I'm sure you didn't know I was MIA for the last 4 months. Well I've been around working very hard and getting ready and since having our third child. This seems to happen every time we have one lol. I do have some major news to post in the next few days, but for now I'll just say it's really good for me. =)

Anyone know how to start Railo so I don't have to have a terminal window open?

Just got invite to Google Wave

Several months ago me and my boss watched an hour and twenty minute video on Google Wave. We both saw great potential in it with how we do business. Well today I got a beta invite and will be setting it up tonight. I'll be posting more about it as I learn more about how it works and how it will change the way we handle customer requests.

New toy from the boss!!!

I got a nice surprise this week, my boss bought me a new 15 inch Macbook Pro. It's been several years since I've developed on a Mac and being back on one for the past 2 days I wonder how I did it.

I must say Macs have come a long way since I had one, but the over all feel is still the same. Clean, simple, and powerful, oh and the pad short cuts rock. I'm still working on getting my development environment setup for developing ColdFusion applications. So if any one has any suggestions on must have apps pay or free I just shouldn't develop with out, please post a comment and let me know.

P.S. Thanks Boss!!!

Working with Google Apps

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:33:04 MST

Our company just moved from running our own mail server to using Google Apps. So far it's working great, had a few small problems but other then that I love it. I really love how much more we are in sync with one another. gTalk and Google Docs are a teams best friend.

Adobe Wave - Very Cool

I got my publisher account and setup my site, but I dont think I'll posts the giant badge on my site. I really wish you could change the look of if it but you can't. I'm sure if anyone wanted to subscribe to my blog they would subscribe to ColdFusionBloggers.org wave. My site is indexed there and any new posts popup on it's Wave.

Wish I had a Mac =(

So I looked at my site on a mac today and what I thought might happen did! The layout wasn't all it was cracked up to be in all the Windows browsers. The sidebar was not in alignment, so I started to rewrite the whole site layout in Strict XHTML last night.

I'm also going to use a version of this layout for the CF MoBlog. Oh and for all the BlogCFC lovers out there I am working on a CF MoBlog plug-in for BlogCFC. Should be ready in a month or two.
