What blogs do I read?
February 04, 2007 · 4 Comments
I've been asked several times "what blogs do you read?" so I figured I'd post my feed list as an OPML file for folks to have a look at. Provided as-is, no warranty etc etc. Use at your own risk. There are some non-technical blogs on there. You might not like their content. You have been warned.

Should I podcast?
January 19, 2007 · 42 Comments
I've been toying with the idea of doing a podcast for a while and over the last week I've been actively soliciting feedback on the subject. I'm thinking of doing something that is primarily interview-focused but short (under 20 minutes). The (excellent) ColdFusion Weekly already covers the news so I'd mostly steer clear of that but I might wax lyrical about certain technical topics near to my heart. Would folks be interested in a podcast from me? Would you like to be interviewed by me?

Dead Blogs?
January 19, 2007 · 11 Comments
I just culled my blog roll, unsubscribing from anything that hasn't posted a new entry in the last six months. I was surprised that my total blog count went down from 226 to just 167. That's nearly 60 blogs that have fallen by the wayside over the last year. Have other folks noticed a decline in blogs this year? I was sad to see some very good blogs had stopped posting but most of the 60 I removed had been fairly half-hearted - some blogs had existed for less than two months (as active blogs).
There are a few "dead" blogs that I've stayed subscribed to in the hope that the authors will come back from hibernation. I'd be interested to hear if you have any blogs in that category...

I'm taking a few days off to help some friends in Montana - we'll be working on their house.
Any comments on the blog will have to wait for approval until I get back.

Taking Off...
November 16, 2006 · 5 Comments
I'm off on vacation and won't be dealing with comment moderation for a week or so. I get a lot of sp@m comments so if you post a comment between now and my return, be warned that it may get lost in the sp@m and deleted accidentally although I'll try not to!
Happy Thanksgiving (in advance!).

MAX 2006 on Flickr
October 22, 2006 · 1 Comment
Rob Brooks-Bilson has created a Flickr group for MAX 2006 so you can post pictures of the event or just use it to enjoy MAX vicariously.
As a general principle, I'm tagging this 'adobemax06' which is the 'official' preferred tag for everything related to MAX this year.

A few days downtime
September 29, 2006 · No Comments
I'm off to Salt Lake City in a few minutes for a cat show and will be off-air until Tuesday. Any comments will have to await moderation until I return so don't think I'm ignoring you! There's lots of interesting blog posts and comments around at the moment that I'll be replying to when I get back.

Hanselminutes - a good 'read'
September 26, 2006 · 1 Comment
Actually a good 'listen' since it's a podcast. Scott Hanselman is interviewed every week by Carl Franklin. Whilst it is a Windows / .NET focused show a lot of the time, he also covers a lot of more general topics that every ColdFusion developer can benefit from. In August / September topics have covered:
- Vista RC1
- Mock Objects
- Test Driven
- A Better Outlook
- Dynamic vs Compiled Languages
- Open Source Options
- Reflection

Updated 8/5/2006 - notifications fixed.
I've finally gotten so sick of those unpleasant comment sp@mm$rs that I've implemented moderation on comments on this blog. Any comments you add need to be approved before they post but I have removed all restrictions on validation of the actual comment so you can now, once again, comment on old entries (a common sp@mm$r trick, it seems) and you can put full URLs in your comments again (although I don't currently auto-format them to actual links). I've also set it up so the moderation email has quick links to approve / delete, for my convenience.
