Looking for a MacroMedia Users Group? November 3, 2005 4:46 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentOnce upon a time (in the Allaire days) I was heading up the effort to create a CFUG in Knoxville but that’s another story. MacroMedia now owns ColdFusion until Adobe finishes the buyout or merger or has that fallen through or already happened? Anyone, using the wonderful world of Google Maps you can now visually find a MacroMedia Users Group. Nice!

If you have no tolerance for these kinds of things, apparently this is a walk-thru but I haven’t looked to confirm.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentCollective synchronisation occurs in nature when crickets start chirping in unison. In some parts of the world, fireflies blink on and off in perfect synchrony like a Christmas tree. The monthly cycles of women living together have also been known to synchronize.
I worked at an office staffed mostly by women and there was a particular time each month that simply behooved having a ready supply of chocolate. When Sarah gets a little older the boys and I are going to have to have a monthly camping trip. But anyhow, the article is about bridges.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentTwo constants in the world of programming: "Two weeks" and "Close of business"
From the client’s perspective both of these mean "I have a commitment and I will take great pleasure in demeaning you when you miss them. I will dangle your check above you and belittle you."
From the programmer’s perspective it means "shutup. I’m trying to work."
Of course I’m not being serious. When I say two weeks or cob I mean it.
