On June 24 Kevin Hoyt will be here in Denver for “Next Generation Flex & ColdFusion Tour – Denver” I’ll be there so if you see me stop and say hi.
You can get more info at RMAUG about the event.
So I looked at my site on a mac today and what I thought might happen did! The layout wasn't all it was cracked up to be in all the Windows browsers. The sidebar was not in alignment, so I started to rewrite the whole site layout in Strict XHTML last night.
I'm also going to use a version of this layout for the CF MoBlog. Oh and for all the BlogCFC lovers out there I am working on a CF MoBlog plug-in for BlogCFC. Should be ready in a month or two.
I worked on the heart of the software this weekend (the code that gets the picture messages) and added some really cool features to it. I think the coolest part is multiple users! You will be able to add several users, the system will post with their info based off the from address in the email box. If the from email address is not found the system will delete so no worries about rouge emails.
Another thing I added was each user will be able to add their own "bad text". Bad text is what I call the footer service providers add to the bottom of your picture messages. Once I get to the admin section I will write in a complete step by step setup system.

So over the weekend I started out checking out frameworks for ColdFusion. Out of all the blog posts, podcasts, and articles I could find I'm torn between ColdBox and Model-Glue.
I have been reading anything and everything on ColdBox and Model-Glue I could find. I have looked at the pros and cons of both but wanted to ask what you guys think?
So over the winter I started working on another blog concept a mobile blog or MoBlog. With mobile phones being a part of everyone's lives and every mobile phone having a camera, what better way to keep family and friends up to speed with the kids. Or show off images at CFUnited conference or a road trip.
Now the code it no were near ready for release but it is a proof of concept. The hardest part was writing the function to parse out an email with an attachment. After that it's was easy. I'll be releasing a beta version soon, as time allows.
So if anyone has looked at my feed you'll see it allows you to pick which categories you wanna subscribe to. I shall take no credit for the idea of this. Ben Nadel has this on his blog and I thought it was such a cool idea I wrote my own.
Even with the blog allowing for multiple categories it was quite easy. Thanks Ben for the inspiration.
