A friend of mine IM’d me with a link to this hilarious video, done in the spirit of the Apple Mac VS. PC ads. Now don’t read to much into my posting this on my blog, I like both of these technologies and I’m not choosing sides here. I just like funny when I see it. Video after the jump… Read more…
I’ve got 6 Pownce invites to give away. As usual, the first 6 comments will get them. Please don’t forget to leave me either an email address or your blog URL where I can find an email address.
This is a bit off-topic but exciting non-the-less if you’re a Parallels junkie like me. The fine folks at Parallels have posted a new release candidate (RC2, Build 3150) of their Desktop for Mac product.
There was quite a span between release candidates this time around and after installing RC2 I can see the time was well spent. Performance is better overall, especially in coherence. Speaking of coherence, RC2 added a new feature (I thought release candidates were supposed to be feature complete) to coherence mode. You now have the option to remove the Windows taskbar all together in coherence mode. It’s a fairly simple addition, while the taskbar is gone the Windows hot key still works for launching apps. Minimized apps hang-out in your dock as before.
You can download RC2 from the Parallels beta site and as usual the support forums are already buzzing with RC2 posts.
I'm not a New Year's Resolution kind of person (to much pressure I guess) but I have identified three aspects of my career that I would like to improve upon in 2007.
In keeping with the first aspect I've decided to start blogging. It's been nearly a decade since I started developing web applications with ColdFusion and in that time I have benefited tremendously from the contributions of others in the ColdFusion community. In the last couple years I've been feeling increasingly guilty for not taking time to share my knowledge with others. Now I'm no genius application architect but I do have a fair bit of experience and If I can use that to help a fellow developer then I want to do it.
I'm fortunate to be able to work with ColdFusion, Flex and Actionscript on a daily basis so that is largely what I"ll be posting about. When I can I'll cover general web application development topics. So here goes blogging! I hope I can discipline myself to post regularly.
