I tweeted something the other day that go a few people tweeting back and I wanted to clear up my thoughts on the subject; my tweet was:
“Do people abuse the term #agile when they probably mean something different? Is it just a Job Spec / Tender buzz word? ‘We’re an Agile Team’”
The reason I [...]
Now that I have finally done my Scotch on the Rocks 2013 presentation, I feel it’s about time that I blogged about this method that I have been using for the last year or so.
What is the Mikado Method?
Simply put it’s a way to work on morphing a system to a better state [...]

After years of trying to support my own blog using a ColdFusion solution I’ve decided to move over and use the biggest one out there WordPress. I thought about using the free hosting option but then decided that I did have a few reason to still have some web space for me to use. My [...]
I was sitting on the edge of the bed,watching my girl friend, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off I asked what she’d like to have for her birthday.
“I’d like to be eight again”, she replied, still looking in the mirror ..

A lot of seasoned ColdFusion developers don’t even know about the great resource that Charlie Arehart updates (He just posts the lists, the technologies they use is not his fault in any way, cough SILVER WHAT? cough)
So if there is any ColdFusion related topic that you want to know about ensure [...]
Over the last couple of years since I have been working at GE the number of work related emails I get have been ever increasing, and so as I have always done I would file them away in to folders, but this wasn’t enough, I needed to be able to classify some emails into more than one folder.
Like many people I have a Gmail account and I love the way you can label things and have more than one label on an email so you can find it easily. From the start of this year I made a real effort to stop using Folder and to start using Categories and with the latest releases of Outlook you can setup search folders for categories.
The Adobe ColdFusion Team have now released a Living Document of the Current Adobe ColdFusion Roadmap.
Some very exciting things coming up in the next couple of releases, which in my view will put Adobe ColdFusion back to where it should be!
Some great updates for both the Server and the IDE (ColdFusion [...]
After the year from hell, things have settled and I’m getting myself back on to the speaking circuit and this time I’m going to push myself outside of my comfort zone, as I always try to at work (Otherwise life gets boring)
First of all I put forward a session for Lean Agile Scotland, [...]
I got this tip from a member of our Java team, I’ll be honest about it, I dismissed it for a while because I couldn’t see how it would help and basically couldn’t get my head round it. That was until a few months ago, when I was creating “Kev’s Fabulous ANT Script” (More on [...]

I’m happy to annouce I’ve been renewed as an Adobe Community Professional again for 2012-2013.
With the year I’ve had, I haven’t been fully focused community wise, but now all is good full stem ahead.
Watch this space as they say
Hit People where it hurts – In their pockets!
An Australian web store has introduced a tax for using IE7 as they have to pay more to support their browser, but if you upgrade then their is no charge on your order!

This is an awesome idea!
Now I love GitHub, the whole idea of social coding is awesome, but within an enterprise/business I still feel that Subversion has its place namely because a lot of large organisations at this current time won’t want to invest money into changing the Source Control Management system from something that the management see as working.
