Over the last several years I've quite literally fallen into jobs requiring different technologies and skills.... none of which I'd seen in my college course. But thanks to a few books and the wonderful world of the search engines... forums and technical blogs... a fella can set out to learn pretty much anything "technology". My first love is ColdFusion.... but I'm pretty much open to learning as many new skills as possible. That's enough for now!

Kohana 404 errors
Mar 11th
I was putting a site on a production server today and found some very strange errors. At least, I thought they were a bit strange.
The Server is Windows 2003 and IIS6. This is a leased server… leased by a small business I sometimes do work for.
In the development environment I had running, it was a XAMPP set up that used Apache. I knew there could be some slight differences. But MySQL and PHP were very similar releases.

Developing new skills
Feb 13th
At the end of 2009 I really wasn’t sure what direction I was going in anymore.
Being primarily self-employed for the previous year and a half and a total of 4 years of the last 6 I was feeling burnt out.
I had begun to consider looking for full time employment but had found that the opportunities were few and far between for “the job” that I would have liked to land.
You see, for the last 9 years I’ve worked primarily with ColdFusion. Working with ColdFusion has always been a joy and it continues to be my first love.
But unfortunately the job opportunities weren’t plentyful.
So what does a guy do??

Welcome to the new blog
Feb 6th
Over the last several years, I’ve run 2 different blog programs. BlogCFM and BlogCFC.
I wrote articles on anything that would come to mind on this domain… technology, sports… various ramblings… whatever.
In the last year, I started a couple of other blogs that were much more targeted to some of my interests. One such blog is where I write about my favorite hockey team…. another one that I started and admittedly haven’t written enough… is a blog on drumming.
I’ve spent the last 9 years working in technology. Working as a web application developer using primarily ColdFusion along side MySQL and/or MS SQL server.
I’ve also spent alot of time working with other technologies… Linux servers, Windows servers… PCs, Macs, Linux desktops….
So I thought I’d kick start this blog again and write stuff that has to do with my day to day activities.
Lately, I’ve been working with PHP quite a bit on a couple of projects. Some of the things I may write about are (simple) things that I learn using different technologies….. Lord knows what I’ll come up with. But it be related to what I work with or have interest in…. in technology.
So if you’ve stumbled onto to this brand new blog…. WELCOME!
