Pintley finally leaves private beta

Posted on July 13th, 2010 by Shan

I’m happy to announce that earlier this month Pintley finally left private beta! Pintley is like Pandora, but for beer… You sign up, rate beer you like/don’t like, and it provides recommendations for more beer to try. Since most of the people reading this blog are techies, you’ll be happy to know that the back-end [...]

More conference speaking engagements!

Posted on March 2nd, 2010 by Shan

My blog has been sorely neglected. Work had taken over pretty much all free time, but I’m starting to get a handle on things again. That being said, I’m diving deep in to Flex 4 development, and I should have my first iPhone application finished this summer. Oh, and I’m speaking at a couple conferences. [...]

cf-flex-user-auth Released

Posted on January 10th, 2009 by Shan

I’m happy to announce the immediate availibility of cf-flex-user-auth, a starter application for developers building Flex applications with ColdFusion on the backend. I’ve been working on this for a while now, and it’s gone through two complete rewrites. The idea behind this is for developers to be able to download this source code, and have [...]

Welcome to my new site, again

Posted on May 6th, 2008 by Shan

I’ve finished moving everything over to WordPress now. I ditched the Flex site I was building because since I started it, I’ve decided to make my site less of a personal site and more of my portal to the Flex/AIR/CF community. Also, since I had started that site, I’ve started to focus on open-source projects, [...]

CFUnited meetup for the IRC crowd

Posted on May 6th, 2008 by Shan

I’ve finally created the event for those of us that hang out in #coldfusion and #flex, that are going to CFUnited. Many expressed interest in such an event, so let’s do it. http://crush3r.com/page/jzyugdodsf When you sign up, be sure to include your /nick and real name, so I can make some nifty name badges. On [...]

Moving to Mac: ColdFusion 8.01

Posted on March 14th, 2008 by Shan

Since my original Moving to Mac post, Adobe was kind enough to throw me into the ColdFusion 8.01 pre-release program. A quick download later, and I got to run the installer. Not only was the install process about 10x faster than my last CF8 install on Windows, but the process *after* the install, the loading [...]

phpBB3 user authentication with ColdFusion

Posted on February 29th, 2008 by Shan

I needed to quickly authenticate some phpBB3 users in a Flex application, and figured that it’d be no problem. Boy, was I wrong. phpBB does some neat dynamic password hashing trick that, to someone with no php experience like myself, looked to be too complex to emulate in CF. After some searching, I found this [...]

Shan’s Simple Examples

Posted on January 24th, 2008 by Shan

I’ve started a series of posts on the Webapper blog called Shan’s Simple Examples. I’ll cover Flex and ColdFusion examples as I help others in the IRC channels #flex (EFNet) and #coldfusion / #cfflex (on DALNet). Hopefully this will turn into a nice library of quick HOW-TOs for us developers. See a list of blog [...]
