It was an interesting discussion last night with a good friend of mine. Problems come and go in life, and our minds can often be flooded with these issues making it difficult to thing, concentrate, and solve problems, let alone stay sane in day to day life. A common thing...

For the last few days I’ve been messing with ColdFusion exception handling, specifically on the TRY/CATCH block side. At first I was greatly intrigued by the fact that you could throw exceptions based off Java classes derived from the RuntimeExceptionclass. That would look something like this. <cfset illegalArgument = CreateObject("java",...

Yes, it has happened again. I am trying yet another blogging software. This time around: WordPress. I must say that I am far more impressed with this software when compared to any of the previous ones I have tried. This one offers a very nice, clean administration interface, plenty of...

O…M…G… Today it was brought to my attention that the name for my data manipulation language, ADAM, is already in use. By whom? None other than Adobe!!! GAH!! Bastards!! Rotten, filthy bastards!!!

I’m having a lot of trouble really sitting down and defining my data manipulation and translation language. I come up with several ways to describe how to accomplish certain tasks, but then those fail to fit another type of task. Or I may find a way to do this one...

And just like that, NerdCon ‘06 is now officially over. All bags were packed, and all visitors sent safely away back home. Buses, planes, and sighs. Plenty of pictures to prove that they actually came in real life, and that this whole thing wasn’t just some kind of Jedi Academy...
