Barcamp Tampa Bay '09 - Future of Microcontroller Programming
As I understand it, this is an investigation into developing a cross-compiler using Python along with a language specifically designed for the purpose. I think that this could be a valuable exerise to the participants as an exercise, but am admittedly skeptical as to the practical implications. The project seems based on the premises that: [More]- Tags:

Barcamp Tampa Bay '09 - Tampa Bay Microcontroller & Robotics Group
I was suprised to see this one listed on the schedule and happy to see that I was effectively free to go off the beaten path (no other topics in that slot that were more work related/compelling). Essentially, in the last 4 months a group has gotten together on meetup to explore embedded programming with an eye to robotics. Make Magazine was attributed as the inspiration and, I have to admit, I can think of no other magazine that makes me think that I am wasting my weekends. There literally are so many people working on cool projects and pursuing- Tags:

Barcamp Tampa Bay '09 - Augmented Reality
This was definitely the fun session of the day. I had seen previous demonstrations of AR as part of pitches of the Flash Platform, but this was the first presentation I have seen explictely on this technology. The impact of the technology is undeniable tremendous. I think we all crave interaction, and the ability to interface with the computer using a web cam is novel enough to still wow crowds. Keep in mind that augmented reality is not exactly a new concept. Even in the Flash world, you have very talented programmers that have been exploring the boundaries of user- Tags:

Barcamp Tampa Bay '09 - Developing Applications
Admittedly, this talk wasn't what I was expecting. Charles Armstrong of Spark Labs didn't go into development tools, methodologies or really the nitty gritty of actually writing the code. Instead, he covered what I have come to appreciate more and more over the last couple of years as the significantly more important process of researching and engineering the problem and its solution. Specifically, he worked from a very succinct slide that detailed three stages of development: Research, Engineer and Implement. [More]- Tags:

Barcamp Tampa Bay '09 - Getting Sued
I caught the last half of this session and it was definitely interesting. The presenters had travelled down from Birmingham to share their experiences of web contracting turned sour and put forth a good case that even when everything seems to be going ok, you can still have a bad time. The biggest take away for me was the idea that you can insure yourself against a contract dispute. If I understood correctly, you can even do it on a per contract basis as opposed to a blanket policy that covers your whole enterprise. Of course, the devil is in- Tags:

Barcamp Tampa Bay '09 - Dev Day
This was my first barcamp and even my first unconference so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. I managed to attend six sessions that covered a broad range of topics, but all were very interesting; I'll blog separately on each of the sessions. I do want to mention that it was a very worthwhile experience and I was genuinely surprised by the quality of the presentations. Actually, it gives me a lot of good examples on which to lean as I prepare my first presentation (I'll be posting on that in the very near future). All of the speakers- Tags:

Barcamp Tampa Bay '09 - Web to Print Solutions
Wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the listing, but given that my day job is RIA and workflow (and some SEO) for an online printer, any talk on printing technologies is likely to be too tasty to pass up. And Enthusem's presentation was worth the time. Admittedly, I was aware of their offering from earlier research in small quantity variable data printing - in this case, a custom print piece in a greeting-card form factor stuffed into a transparent envelop and sent via postal service. Sort of a micro-VDP direct mailer. What Enthusem is doing right is focusing- Tags:

Another argument for the Uni-Tasker
I'm all for the iPhone doing a lot of things, but navigation ain't one. Google maps is just fine for a quicky, "Where the hell am I?" type need. If I'm taking a long trip i use my dedicated GPS Nav. It's UI is specific to it's purpose, and so is the hardware. No additional brackets needed, no cel service needed to help get a fix, etc. Turn it on, it works. If it runs out of batteries I can still make calls on my phone. While it's telling me where to go, I can also make and receive calls- Tags:

Review: Fuel (XBox 360)

Flex / ColdFusion FAQ Admin Tool Example
Utilizing Flex Builder's ColdFusion CFC wizard, a mySQL database, and the ease of the Flex / ActionScript 3 language, I put together a sample FAQ Administration Tool. This tool can be easily deployed on any site where a frequently asked questions repository is needed. As usual, the source code is provided.- Tags:

Using jQuery to convert text into form fields

Flex 101 Screen Casts: Week 1, Getting Started
I’m co-teaching an online course at the local college with David Hassoun. Part of the materials that we’ve been building for our students are screen casts. We figured they’d be a little more lively than a slide presentation. We also figured they’d help keep students awake when they’re working through the courseware at 3am. I [...]- Tags:

Script Injection Attack: Smoking Gun? from the CF Muse
The "ColdFusion Muse", aka "My Boss", has posted something I'd consider VERY important - this is a MUST read. This may save you frusteration, dollars, or more! He explains a potential vulnerability related to executing malicious code on your server without you knowing and can be very difficult to track down. After you read this, you may say duh - why didn't I think of that? http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2009/9/18/script.insertion.attack.vector- Tags:

Usability and Error Messages
I often consider usability when using web applications, especially when I am the user. Our lovely state of North Carolina, is very tech savvy and has a lot of online resources and help. Did you know that North Carolina was one of the first states to have it's own data center? Today, I went online to change my address on my Driver License. Apparently there is some complication with my particular license (hopefully not a warrant out for my arrest :-) ) in the system and I need to go into a physical office for human assistance.

How a puncture changed Top Gear forever

ColdFusion Open-Source Update - September 15, 2009
Two project updates this week. A light week apparently. Perhaps open source authors were dismayed and distraught by the failing of their favorite NFL team as I was (mine is the Dolphins). Thankfully, I have come to expect disappointment from my teams - it makes life easier seeing as that is generally what they deliver. Well, on with the update...
