Ben Forta just remembered. I remember my first baby steps into CF back when it was "Cold Fusion", at 1997, working at a company that was upgrading from 2.0 to 3.0. I was only 17 but I knew it would change my life and woo-hoo, look where am I now. Thanks and long live, ColdFusion!And yes, I know this is abandoned. It's just for now, in a month or two I hope to come aggressively back. Wait for it :)

It take me some time to write about it as I wanted to read almost everything people wrote before. At the end of this article you'll find a lot of links to blogs and websites that I read before writing this.First a note I took at the first sight of this news: it's very good for the CFML as a language and for the ColdFusion market overall. It can help developers to first learn CF, use it on their

News on Google confirms Sir Arthur's deathGreat science fiction author, maker of the script to Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odissey", one of the most important writers from the last century. He passed away today at 90.Farewell and thanks, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, for all the moments of pleasure, wonder and hope with the science in your fiction.Note: he passed away on the morning of March, 19, at Sri

A guy at his daily way to MIT in USA shoot a couple of people using the Amazon Kindle and that strange thing that Sony called an e-book reader. Amazing to see it becoming more and more ubiquitous. Freedom from the paper! :D

As I create my studies map, marking links and technologies to know, practice and get some knowledge, I think about what should I do? What should I create as I study this APIs, languages, etc?And every now and then one thing comes to my mind: contact management. Today it's so hard to maintain accurate and up-to-date information on your contacts that I sense a real lack of an easy-to-use, complete

There are a lot of blogs and traditional media news reporting the delay on the Zune's valentines special edition delivery. But the major blog/media coverage was about the answer MS gave to its buyers: "We are sorry for the delay. We'll refund you. AND you'll get your Zune for free."That's it. They can't make what they promised, they will give your money back and then give you the product they

UPDATE: This web-site will be moved from GrupoW servers to CrystalTech this weekend. Expect some downtime, but not much.I've left the partnership at GrupoW in December, 2007. So I'm now trying to put everything on my personal life together, as I spent so many time working on the company progress and so little taking care of myself.One of the things I want to do is to learn the right way to do

Well, I had an error report from a client of my ex-company. As I have an agreement with them to cover these situations I looked at it and thought "Oh no! The damn 'null null' error!".So what was going on? Follow me:I have a report that permits the client to find specific information about who receives referral fee over their contracts. So the client selects an user to search for and submits.The

Since my last text, a lot of talk has gone into the blogs about the open social layer that Google is trying to implement.As already pointed, this approach tries to rival with Facebook, by leveraging power and option for the developer, who has not to re-write its widget/app for each social network he intends to target.But Google's proposal has drawbacks, too. I haven't seem any "license agreement"

UPDATE: TechCrunch reveal that Google will launch their Open Social approach on Thursday. More important, Michael Arrington's post explain better what will be this approach. Right on time!Today, a co-worker saw my web-site and I felt ashamed about this blog. There's a lot of things to talk about, a lot of insights and readings to share.

I'm a freaky about data, statistics and other issues like that. So IBGE (Brazilian's Geographic and Statistics Institute) was always a web-site that I watched for. They released an awesome new service: statistical data over maps, with links and all the stuff needed. You can reach the "countries" page here and the Brazilian states data here.And then the "first" "commercial" quantum computer has

Jeffrey Zeldman wrote about the redesign of Happy Cog Studios web-site. This lead me through a really long line of thought.As I pointed at previous post, design is important and ColdFusion being a programming language attached - since Macromedia's days - to the design world is a great thing.That being said, I see ColdFusion development being fragmented these days. Some people argue for more

Yesterday was the launch of Yahoo! Pipes. I haven't had the time to try it myself - and it appears to be down all the time, anyway, most because of the attention it's receiving.Pipes seems to be a web development ambient that allows users to mash RSS Feeds up to get more interesting and focused information in an easily and fashion way.

If really released it'll be great: Smith, a "freeware, cross-platform ColdFusion engine" announced they can make their product open source. It's a clever move, specially because Adobe apparently will not create a "free version" for their CFML engine - I'm not forgetting others, specially New Atlanta's Blue Dragon, but at this moment I'll focus on Smith.ColdFusion, besides its price, is growing in

Two articles caught my eye today and I want to wrote quickly about it.Wired News covers the security plans for OLPC. It appears that XO (the laptop official name) will be all restricted to protect the data. It will be interesting to see how children will behave when they get it - at my experience, the youngsters are doing some hacking and the first contact age is going down really fast, even here

It's pretty amazing to watch people still discovering the power and the ways the internet is used this days - and what uses people will have for it in the future.For you to understand what I'm talking about: internet runs today over a "neutral network". What that means? Well, you can access any web-site, webservice, internet service (as e-mail over POP, SMTP or IMAP). Without the provider paying

There's a (hoax) history about the spatial run at the Cold War times, telling that while the US spent millions of dollars to develop a pen to use in space, the Russians just get... pencil.Although it's a hoax, it's a good history. Something similar happens with CAPTCHA systems these days. They're somewhat hard to implement and a bad choice for people that wants to have some interaction with their

Charles Pilger (linked above) writes a great piece against the hope of some members of the (Brazilian?) Linux community that new MS Windows Vista will bring more users to Linux due to lack of hardware to run the hungry Operating System that Microsoft started shipping this days.It's good to see a defendant of the open source community speaking clearly and focused about the challenges OS (specially

It's the primary technology language, there's no doubt.3. To reach more people than I would writing in Portuguese, my natural language.And that's it.
