The New SPEEDtv.com
February 6th has come, and it has gone. After much toil and many, many long days, the largest development project MindComet has ever undertaken launched on time. That statement alone is worth celebrating.
Whether the project ends up being a glorious success to the end users or not, as a developer I can make it something to be proud of in the lessons I take away from it. For example, here’s one thing I discovered about myself: I like BIG. I like the challenge…the complexity…the impact. Big forces you to approach problems in a different, often better, way. Big challenges your development processes and methodologies when you may otherwise be content. Big requires skills, tools, and architectures you don’t normally get to use with small. Big magnifies your weaknesses, and exposes your flaws–refining those who learn from it. And in the end, if you can make it to the finish; if you can reach your goal–you’re a cut above the rest. Here’s to big. Here’s to the SPEEDtv development team.
Javascript For-in Loops
Note to self: do not use for-in loops to iterate over an array. Javascript frameworks will add methods and properties to the array object which will then be looped through and summarily break code.
Site Moved
You probably saw this coming when I talked about purchasing IamSeanMurphy.com a few weeks ago (okay, maybe it was longer). I moved my site from CoreQuantum.com to IamSeanMurphy.com. Update your links ladies and gentlemen!
Supporting the Community
The Orlando IT community has done a great job of promoting the upcoming BarCamp. The word is out, and over 170 people have registered for the event already. Like any community, though, to be successful some financial backing is needed. For this reason, we at both MindComet and Statiksoft have pledged our support and have signed on as sponsors. We’re excited to have BarCamp come to our home town, and we’re confident everyone’s going to take something useful away from it. You can too if you go, but you’ll have to register—space is limited. I look forward to seeing you there!
BarCamp Orlando 2007
BarCamp is coming to Orlando! I’ve been interested in attending some technical conferences for a while now, so BarCamp is coming just in time. I’m looking forward to some interesting presentations and meeting cool locals in the tech industry. I’ll be representing two companies I’m a part of, MindComet and Statiksoft. Others from both local businesses will be there. Also, brother plans to woo with a presentation of I don’t know what.
