Printing makes me a WAY better programmer.

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 22:10:35 GMT

I know the trees hate me, and I know that I cost the company a small bit of money, but I have to say it: I MUST PRINT EVERY LINE OF Views, Controllers, and Models, and proof read it and even better on 11x17 in great color.

I miss HomeSite, it printed the BEST! and as cool as Parallels is, Im either in or out so booting WICKED HORRID CRAPPY MICROSOFT DUMB LOSER Illegal SUPER DUPER ILLEGAL!!!! BREAK THEM UP!!!! XP Pro (YEA PRO....... ARG!!!! Im trembling right now), is a little bit of a bummer for me just to print. But don’t get me wrong, Parallels ROCKS! Worked in my “ColdFusion MX7 CommonSpot BaseLine” work station and was in HOG heaven! Once icky Windows ... kajshldfjkbddlkjasdh HATE!!! is booted it was as tight as my old (BEST FORM FACTOR EVER) T-60 dual core.

You know one thing to complain about my “I totally love” MacBookPro is: it gets totally wickedly HOT! I do hate that bit about the machine. I bet Apple let that go thinking: “Ohhh they'll love it like their best looking first borne smart daughter who might have a bit of an ‘Im the best so know it attitude’, they love it so much they'll just over look that ‘bad’ part.” I do.

But back on track, I have to proof read my code, line by line, at night. My AWESOME girlfriend is sweet and don’t mind me sitting at the kitchen bar all night and doing so.

I catch SOOOOOO much and also almost ALWAYS find some thing to hit FistThingInTheMorning!!! And my code has started to really have a clear and generic look to it. Daddy LIKES! THANKS FRAMEWORKS!!! Reading (in this order): dspOrder.cfm, Model-Glue.xml, OrderController.cfc and OrderService.cfc, should read like a novel, if it don’t... back to the drawing board.

Seriously, if I didn’t. Ohhh heck... Not as bad AS DUMBASS MICROsoft but still: ICKY ICKY ICKY ICKY!!!!! Ohhh I Shudder, and Shiver at the thought.

In The Trenches pointed this blog out Raganwald.

WOW, this guy is smart: http://weblog.raganwald.com/2006/12/relational-calculus-is-about-relations.html

"algebra or the calculus" - I cant even compute that. Gonna make me stair out into space this weekend.

I want to sink my teeth into Transfer on a real project SUPER baddly. Looking for an excuse at work (if you call it work) :)

Front End Is Trying to Kill Me

Tue, 21 Nov 2006 17:41:15 GMT

I am TOTALLY tired of the front end nightmare!

Will Flex save me? I just printed out the Flex Store 2_1 and have been reading Steve Webster’s (how kewl is Webster for the name of a RIA framework creator???!?!?, LOVE IT) 6 part series on Flex Development. I think Flex will be the answer I have been looking for.

What will Flex save me from? STUPID BROWSERS!!!!! I love how CF makes making the backend easy, but trying to wrestle Yahoo UI, Dojo, or script.aculo.us, or my fav TwinHelix (MOST LIGHT WEIGHT, MOST CROSS BROWSER SUPPORT DTHML LIB out there) to solve some problem that my designers have made every time is getting to be a bummer.

F this HTML stuff, give me something that works. I think it is here.

I think I am going to try to give Reactor Blog a Flex front end.

Ill post code if it comes out.

bigLove to ColdFusion,
