CSS Generation Tool
I am always looking for ways to save time when working on a clients project. I have found a cool site w/ a CSS Generator on it that I really like, here is a Link to CSS Creator, the form on the page is pretty straightforward and gives you all of the basics needed to create a stylesheet for your web project.
ColdFusion 8 Beta Launches
Pleth recently added ColdFusion 8 as a managed hosting option for our clients. Since this is a new technology for us we have brought in a veteran ColdFusion developer to assist with application development. I have personally been playing around with it on my test box and have to say it’s really pretty cool as far as a development tool. So far I have only worked with it in CodeCharge to develop a forum and make some minor mods here and there but my next project will be on a smaller scale in Eclipse so that I can take some time to learn the language a little bit better.

SWsoft Offers Parallels Software
I am a huge fan of SWSoft, we run their Plesk Control Panels as well as their Virtuozzo VPS Software and have been absolutely happy w/ it. Their software allows us to handle “seamless migrations” for our clients. No wonder that hosting companies who use PLESK software have a higher resale value. This new Parallels software is already on a lot of computer systems right now, in fact I know folks who use Macs that are running it and have told me that it is near flawless. I have heard rumors abounding that SWSoft might be considering an IPO in the near future, if so, I would recommend it to anyone looking to hit a stable company on their way to the top of the software industry.

Confusing finish leaves drivers, fans speechless – Aug 4, 2007
I don’t know if anyone caught the Busch Race in Montreal this weekend but IMO Robby Gordon got Robbed big time! I don’t know what has caused NASCAR to treat him so badly but obviously something has motivated them to single him out. I’m not a huge Robby Gordon fan but I can spot a foul when I see it. Bad Deal NASCAR, you need to probably look into this and fix it…

Hackers Steal Data from Monster.com
I actually heard about this yesterday on CNN. Not good at all. I haven’t been able to get any real technical details on the breach other that reports from Symantec and a few others saying that it’s a big one… Why would Monster.com be a target for Hackers? I don’t get that one…

Mcfadden to turn pro…
This really isn’t a big surprise to me that Darren McFadden plans to turn pro at the end of this season. I do sincerly hope that he is able to win the Heisman and that Arkansas will at least hit 11 wins this year! If not, I might be blogging a whole lot more frequently about this down the road.

XML Audio Feed Player for Podcasts…
Our ColdFusion Guru Scott Pinkston shared this XML Feed Player w/ me the other day. We are planning on integrating it into a client project we are working on but to test it out I figured I would add it to The Church Alive’s website and use it to play our Itunes XML Feed. It’s a pretty slick little piece of code that you can generate online at: http://www.bigcontact.com/feedplayer.php. They have two options for players, a slim player and the standard player. I think that I also saw where you can build your own custom player also if you want. Pretty slick stuff…
Anatomy of an Ajax Application
I really enjoy these web reference articles on different things, I have picked up a lot of good php info from them in the past and it seems like they are putting out some good ajax oriented stuff as well. I strongly recommend this website to anyone in the development community… Link to Anatomy of an Ajax Application – webreference.com
ROFLMAO!
I can thank our Server Admin Matt Critcher for turning us onto this, great, now it’s in my head…
I Love Delicious Links…
With a lot of these new 2.0 tools that are out there I sometimes fail to get it, I know that I might be getting old and set in my ways but rarely do I find a tool that I like as well as Delicious. If you haven’t given it a try you should, it’s definitely a cool way to keep your bookmarks organized and accessible whereever you might be. Here’s my tag list:
