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.
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.

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.

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…

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…

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.
