Just another WordPress weblog
I know it’s rough, but I’ve been doing some thinking about some interface changes to an internal app. Here are some Mockup’s with some rough Pro’s and Con’s. I’m interested to know what people would prefer to use. If the mockup’s aren’t self explanatory, let me know and I will do my best to explain.
Today I have started to restructure my blog for both personal and professional reasons.
Having a family and working takes a large amount of time, so rather than continuing to maintain a customized Theme, I have decided to adopt an existing Theme developed by the guys at BizzArtic.
I have also decided that Kaffien.com will become the primary URL for my Blog instead of Kaffien.com/blog which will now be redirected to Kaffien.com
Hopefully all of this will give me time to post on my Blog.

We will also have some great giveaways.
Here are my slides from the Presentation I did on using Regular Expressions at the Queensland Coldfusion Usergroup on the 12th of August 2008 http://qld.cfug.org.au/
As promised I have uploaded my presentations from the Queensland Coldfusion Usergroup last night ( 9th July 2008 ).
We are looking for Feedback for the User group Website Manager Application ( Not just for “Coldfusion” user groups ). If you are interested in the CHUG application and it is missing something that is stopping you from using it for your user group website, or you just want to give us some feedback, we are interested in your comments.
Coldfusion User Group Manager is a CFML application originally designed to help Adobe ColdFusion User Group managers run their user group web site and manage members, speakers, and other user group data. This application was originally created by Matt Woodward for the Capitol Hill User Group, hence the nickname “CHUG.”
CHUG is easily skinned, i18n capable, and leverages the Mach-II and ColdSpring frameworks.
Additionally, if you wish to get started with this Application but your not sure where to start, leave a comment, and I will do my best to get you on track.
Edit: Sorry, here is the link to the Google Code project http://code.google.com/p/chug/

All this excitement has got me motivated. Hopefully during the event I will get the chance to show of what I’ve been working on recently, as well as ask Danny Dura for some feedback and about the Future of Flex 3 and beyond.
I’ll see you at this not to miss event on the 30th.
Yes, November 21 sees Ben Forta – long term ColdFusion Guru traveling to our fair city for one day only.
Not only will Ben be wowing us with the hottest stuff in the latest release of ColdFusion but also showing us Fusioneers how it integrates in with Flex and AIR.
The event is a community driven hands-on “camp” so all are welcome – and to suggest topics and even participate. Less stuffy-shirt “roadshow”, more “show us the code!” heckling from the cheap seats… for more info contact manager@qld.cfug.info

Brisbane – 21st of November at the Brisbane Convention and Entertainment Center, Southbank.
as well as
Sydney – 20th of November at Rydges World Square

Just a quick post to touch on some of the things I’ve been busy with over the last 12 months.
CHUG (ColdFusion User Group Manager).
The Coldfusion User Group Manager Application has been written for use by Coldfusion usergroups around the world.
I have been committing back to the project as well as the local Coldfusion community as I work on our very own Queensland Coldfusion Usergroup website. The new website recently released and running the CHUG application. Visit the CFUG QLD website @ http://qld.cfug.org.au/. Still a work in progress with more on its way.
Work on my Timesheet Flex/AIR application has been put on hold for the moment, with very early a concept plans for a newer, better version in the future. More on this later in the year.
Been trying to assist my Wife in a strong interest in photography, as well as learn a bit myself. Infact, if you like you can check out some of photos from our recent trip to Bundaburg at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaffien/
Have also been very busy with the guys and girls at my current work place with some further exciting developments taking place.
I hope to post more info on the subjects above in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.
