Coldfusion on the Google App Engine with Open BlueDragon

The future is now!  A little melodramatic maybe, but this technology is exciting.  Free cfml app servers with clustering (including data and file storage).  First, if you don't know what the Google App Engine is yet, go here first and do a little reading.  Once you have read enough of that to be sufficiently excited, we need to set up the development and deployment tools.  Paul Kukiel has put together a really nice demo on how to do this here.  NOTE THERE IS ONE THING THAT IS INCORRECT IN THE VIDEO   Do not delete the "war" directory, merely paste the openbd war over the existing one.  This is important.

Tweaking the Content Editor: Adding Images

We have always allowed image uploading on InstantSpot, but for too long it has been rather embarassingly complex.  So much so that I bet many didn't even know it was an option.  I have made some changes to the editor (blog/page) to hopefully remedy this situation.  To commemorate this event, I have uploaded a picture of Conrad and his impossibly small head.

Fedor VS Brett Rogers

I'm a big fan of the Adam Carolla podcast, and one of his recent guests was MMA fighter Brett Rodgers.  I don't really follow MMA very closely, but after listening to Brett I was really interested to hear how this fight turned out. Fedor Emelianenko is the #1 ranked fighter in the sport, while Brett just defeated Andrei Arlovski (who according to Brett's trainer was ranked #2).  The fight was carried on CBS over the weekend (Nov 7, 2009) and it turned out to be a pretty good one in my opinion.

Pushing Weight: Back to Basics

This post is going to be the kick-off for a new series of blog posts tracking my strength and fitness progress.  In the past I have followed complex body-part split routines that focused more on bodybuilding, with a secondary goal of getting stronger.  Back to Basics is my simple plan.  Eat enough food to keep the scale moving up (.5 lb to 1lb per week) and strive to get stronger in a few basic lifts.  This approach is very different from what I am used to in terms of volume and variation.  As long as strength continues to increase, then (translate)

Progressive Overload

Progressive Overload is the name of my blog as of yesterday (10/28/09).  I think the concept is extremely important to making gains in the weight room, but there might be some carry-over into other areas of our lives. Progressive overload is the gradual increase of stress placed upon the body during exercise training. It was developed by Thomas Delorme, M.D. while he rehabilitated soldiers after World War II. This technique is recognized as a fundamental principle for success in various forms of strength training programs including fitness training, weight lifting, high intensity training and physical therapy programs.

Ode to Crushed Red Pepper

I love crushed red pepper and I use it in large quantities every day.  In fact, I am going to write a haiku about it right now:   Oh crushed red pepper So spicy, hot and awesome Please never run out   (translate)

Mixing a little Flex with my Mach-II

One of my latest projects was to create a little contact manager / sales tool to integrate with an existing system (written in Mach-II).  Requirements dictated that I needed to have access to my already logged in user (must be aware of client session). "Down the road" requirements, are that we'd like to make an AIR port of this new feature as a standalone application. As a big fan of Flex, I thought it would be a great opportunity to test the efficacy of writing this new feature as a drop in Flex mini-application.  Since security is handled by the (translate)
