I’m A Slacker, Too…

I hate this website. It serves me no purpose. The only reason that I purchased a domain years ago was when I first starting doing database drive web apps, I got the whole shebang: domain, server space, blah-ze-blah. I originally did all of the programming myself, but then I switched to WordPress because it was easy and I thought I *would/could/might* change the layout and design more often… which I don’t. So, now I’m on a different track and think I may start up again. I’ve learned ColdFusion back in its 4’s and 5’s, so there was not so much along the lines of CFC’S or CF OOP or any real frameworks or design patterns (Ok… I know that some of you may through in a little plop of sarcasm about how Fusebox was around then, but admit it right now: who LOVED Fusebox back in the late 90s early 00s (is that even how you say that… early 00s??).

Anywho… onto my current shenanigans… due to a new project that I’ve been contracted out for, I got to start an application design process from scratch basically. Egads!!!! From Scratch????, you say. Hellz Yeah, I respond.  As mentioned I’m been converting and writing some stuff in a more OOP/MVC sort of environment and pulled in some inspiration from an old colleague who really showed me some of my first CFC’s… and all I can say is “Damn… I’m having fun!!!” Its ok… I know I’m a dork… I’ve dealt with it, you can, too… move on.

The coolest thing is that I’m thinking of an application like an application and not like a bunches of pages or files. I’m thinking about the functions, portals, modeling, real use case scenarios… some shit (OOP, design patterns, MVC) that you don’t dive into when you are used to your typical old school coldfusion.  So… in short… fun, happy, woohoo!

So… onto not-so-work-talk. I’ve been to some good shows recently. I had my belated BDay party/show last weekend and even though a LOT of peoples schedules were screwy, I still had a really good time. I also went to WV and VA recently to see my fam and friends.  And the highlight of THIS week is that the beautimous, love of my life, best galpal, Carebear is officially back in Florida with her adorable little munchkin, Fiona. God, I’ve missed that girl.  We went to dinner last night and I swear we were there for over three hours… just talking and laughing our arses off.   ****crossing fingers for going to see scottish bob at kitty’s this weekend****

Other good news… I’m flipping healthy and have been for a while now. I swear my old job made me sick. I was just telling this chick from the same workplace the other night that I must be dang allergic to that place or people or something. I’ve had all the important tests (except for my ecco, which I know will be fine) and they all say that everything is A-OK. My CBC, Liver Enzymes, Iron, everything is back like a completely healthy person… can you believe that just a couple of years ago that some of those numbers were quadrupal what they are now? Its nice to know that it was all worth something.

And I swear that is the last you’ll hear of that for a while. I decided a few months ago that whats in the past is in the past… leave it be.  Maybe I will start posting again… but I seriously don’t feel like I ever have much to say. I can almost bet you blindly that I will only be talking about projects, programming, shows/music, or graphic novels. That is pretty much my life deez days. I have an arse ton of pictures to upload from recent shows, trips, etc… maybe that is where I’ll start.

I really only had an itch to write this after reading <a href=”http://www.thestockers.org” target=”_blank”>Erics Blog Earlier Today</a>… see, work made him sick, too.  Ha!!  No, but he seems happier and that has to count for something.
