My CFUNITED 2008 Meme

June 12, 2008 ·

Its going round, like a bad cold, so I thought I would also chip in with my CFUnited 2008 meme! What are you looking forward to most? Meeting up with people from the community and hanging out in DC! Which speaker will most likely end up on your camera? Probably Peter Bell, that guy can write and talk like there is no tomorrow! What do you plan to do outside conference time? Well, I am looking for a tattoo place to get some stuff added to my arm, and then it will probably be a bar where the rock is loud and the beer is cold. Any suggestions from locals? I might also head up to Rockville to check out a record shop that Henry Rollins used to frequent. Fill in the blank: I will mainly be around the ______ booth. "Beer" Do you have a new project you are working on and will reveal it at CFUnited? Yes, its part of my FreshAir presentation!

Getting all Scotch'd up this week!

June 02, 2008 ·

Tomorrow I shall be heading to Edinburgh for the fantastic Scotch on the Rocks conference. I know Andy Allan has been working really hard to get this conference going and last year's event was a real blast! This year I shall be presenting a couple of topics, ColdSpring: Better Living through Configuration and a new topic which is FreshAIR: Developing Adobe AIR applications using Aptana Studio. This makes a change to my usual CFEclipse presentations and I have been working hard on making them both informative and entertaining (no, no juggling... sorry!) I am really looking forward to meeting some old friends as well as new ones! So come and say hello!

Presenting ColdSpring at cfObjective today!

May 03, 2008 ·

Sean mentioned last night, due to Hal Helms being unable to come to cfObjective because of health reasons a few sessions have been flipped about but like one of those slidey puzzles where you are trying to get those squares in order to make a picture of a butterfly, there is still a slot missing. I shall try to fill in that slot with a introductory presentation into ColdSpring called "ColdSpring: Better living through configuration". Since its a last minute change, I am hoping *some* people will turn up! I actually enjoy doing this presentation so it should be a laugh if anything!

Arrived in St Paul's for cfObjective

April 30, 2008 ·

I finally made it to St Paul's for cfObjective 2008! After a brief detour through Amsterdam (and some strange interviews before boarding?!) I am finally here. Slightly lagged but ready to rock! I am in room 1313 of the conference hotel, and will be heading out soon to grab something to eat and maybe later check out a couple of places for drinks! Let me know when anybody else arrives!

The cfObjective Moustache Competition

April 09, 2008 ·

As some of you might realise, the cfObjective conference is round the corner in May... I have decided that we should have a bit of a Moustache Competition (for those people that can grow them, I am not sexist!) Who's with me?

Scotch on the Rocks: Ticket prices announced

November 02, 2007 ·

Just updated on the SOTR Blog is the ticket pricing for next year's conference. It seems that it is an intelligent pricing model, which apart from the early bird at £199 + VAT till end of Feb, also has the idea of a Company Flexi Pass, which means that a different person from the same company can attend the conference on different days, very handy to spread the knowledge to your team without loosing the productivity for the whole conference. Check out the posting at http://www.scotch-on-the-rocks.co.uk/blog/index.cfm/2007/11/2/Ticket-Pricing-Announced
