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.

Come learn about the newest features in the Flex 4 framework and SDK.
See product feature demos, and learn how the new Flex framework powers
both Flash Catalyst and Flex Builder to speed the development and
testing of rich Internet applications and content.

but wait, there’s more!

The Adobe ColdFusion team have been working hard on Centaur, the next
version of ColdFusion, as well as Bolt – code name for the highly
anticipated first ColdFusion IDE from Adobe. Learn about exciting new
features and discover how Centaur and Bolt will accelerate your
ColdFusion application development.

The event will be Sponsored by Adobe and supported by the Coldfusion, Flash Platform and the Tools usergroups here in Queensland.

Please RSVP as numbers are strictly limited to 140 people

We will also have some great giveaways.

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.

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

More information as I get it.

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.
