Woo!
The project codenamed "cf_Hydra" is now in a rough working state thanks to a lot of time spent...uhm...how should I say, "researching", yeah that will do, researching something I discussed with a couple Adobe developers at CFUnited this year (you know who you are).
That thing we talked about that I said I wouldn't post if I found it, well, I found it, and I won't publish it. Which makes releasing my little project a bit difficult but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Now if I could just get around using coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory for the pesky web service refresh... (CF7)

The Workshop has been updated! (finally, I know). You'll find all of the spell line changes are in-line with DAoC 1.95. Enjoy!

So I've been suckered into playing EA's latest offering. Spore, but not the full game, just the Creature Creator, which I must say is neat and those who know me know that any time I mention EA in a positive light I vomit a little in my mouth. Why the hate? two words, DOWNLOAD MANAGER. I mean WTF is this piece of crap? Whatever happened to downloading a file from a website, yeah sure there's the "anyone can download it if they have the link" issue but come on, is it really that difficult for you weenies to implement a less invasive file delivery system?
Why the hell should I have to download and install something so that I can download and install something else? And why the hell is that while it's downloading that something and stalls, so do all of my other network connects hmmmm? Oh yeah and let's not tell them that it can cause stability issues while playing the thing that it allows you to download too!
JFGDCWTF!!

Google is full of nifty things, how nifty you ask? Well, their new experimental search feature that filters as you type your search phrase is pretty damn cool (along with result counts)! Now if I'm having a blank moment I can just start typing gibberish and have suggestions made to me. Like this little gem I stumbled across just now.

yes, it's real and quite an interesting read.

Well, the world now has one more Certified ColdFusion Developer, woo! glad that's over with now I can focus on other pet projects. Speaking of projects, I'm in the middle of setting up a web server in order to migrate this site (and all my other sites) to CF. How will this impact you the user? not much at all, except for the short downtime (which will be announced before it happens) which will cause the Character Workshop's auto patcher not to check for updates, you shouldn't experience any erratic program behavior. That's all for now! >po0f<

New forums are up! Login and check 'em out! :)

You may have noticed that the forums are currently disabled, do not fret! they are being upgraded and in order to ensure message integrity between versions I needed to disable them. In approximately 8 hours from now the new sub domain for the forum will have propagated and you should be able to access them normally.
Thanks for your patience :)
