    Posted on Jan 3, 2011 at 9:34 AM

    Awesome goals. can't wait to see the Ben in Tights video ;). PTs are expensive but what I found when I was training was a good PT will get you setup with some good regimes then you just go on your own and every couple of weeks meet with the PT to evaluate, update and move forward. Since you know a ... read more »

    Ben, Good post. Yeah a lot of use take this for granted and already know it, but when you are on a team which is new to AJAX these type of articles are great.

  • Using ColdFusion With Pusher - A Notification Service Powered By HTML5 WebSockets

    Posted on Jun 28, 2010 at 10:38 AM

    Interesting, will have to look into this. Yeah the crypto seems excessive, but for an app I am working on that will have a push component, that security actually will be useful. I think too the notification service seems it might be meant to be small and compatible with iOS (based on what has been ... read more »

    @Ben Yeah me too, just as my wife! Yeah when I worked that gov't contract one project took me over a month because I kept having to do meetings, assist developers (that's what I get for architecting our framework choice and front-end tech).... read more »

The exercise helps to oxygenate and give you that high and vitamin D from Sunlight gives you the happys. Sleep is ... read more »

  • My Sleep Experiment And Schedule Shift

    Posted on Jun 9, 2010 at 9:39 AM

    yeah often you need some sort of white noise. I served in the Marines so learned to sleep standing ;) The key is to develop that 20 min-30min max nap. The reason is after 30 min you could go into deeper sleep and waking will be more like if you had slept normally so takes longer for brain to spin u... read more »

  • My Sleep Experiment And Schedule Shift

    Posted on Jun 9, 2010 at 9:25 AM

    Ben, sleep is important. Often developers don't realize that productivity drops off (kinda like being drunk and thinking your performing better). also if you are able to take a 20 minute catnap (power nap) between 2:30 - 4:30 you can see an improvement in alertness and brain function probably for t... read more »

  • Mastering The ColdFusion Application Framework

    Posted on Jun 3, 2010 at 1:18 PM

    Tiobe I think has it wrong, but java is on the list so not all is lost. Just not sure where Coldfusion in of itself is a really a framework ( I like classic definitions of words and ideas, I'm talking explicit frameworks - get your mind out of the gutter Ben ). Coldfusion is akin to Dbase III (oh ... read more »

I believe in love. I believe in compassion. I believe in human rights. I believe that we can afford to give more of these gifts to the world around us because it costs us nothing to be decent and kind and understanding. And, I want you to know that when you land on this site, you are accepted for who you are, no matter how you identify, what truths you live, or whatever kind of goofy shit makes you feel alive! Rock on with your bad self!
