Almost time for Scotch

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Aye, what happened to my blog header? I must have messed it up by sheer neglect.

I’m getting pretty excited for Scotch On The Rocks. It should be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to meeting all the cool folk who are going. I’ve just had a good look at the agenda and I’m thinking, how can I be in 3 places at once!? Oh well, gotta make some sacrifices.

I’ll be getting in to town about lunchtime on Tuesday and I’d be grateful to hear about any pre-event drinks or catch ups.
I will keep an eye on Twitter (the bloody thing is broken for IM which is a shame). Feel free to drop me a line on mrbuzzy@gmail.com or Google IM. Dooo it, hey, do it!

An alternative to running CF in a terminal/console is to enable the ColdFusion Log Console. Change the following to ‘true’ and restart CF to see the java application magically appear.

<var name='consoleVisible'>
<boolean value='true'/>
</var>

A quick dig at Digg

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

So Digg had this cool contest. Build a Flex/Flash/Apollo application using a Digg API. Nice! Who wouldn’t want to do that.

Here’s where Digg fails to impress – the contest is only for US residents. Why do ‘they’ always do that? Isn’t this the Internet, man?
