I’ve been using Blogger as a blogging engine for way too long. It’s time for an engine switch–and a complete site overhaul, for that matter.

My lack of posts are strong evidence of the apathy I’ve been experiencing lately, primarily due to just being so busy with non-technological pursuits as well as a lull in exciting development at work.

My attendance at CFUnited 2006 has helped end my famine of enthusiasm.

The only thing I’ve been remotely excited about lately has been AJAX. At the conference, I attended the AJAX class by Rob Gonda, and it has jazzed me to push forward with more sophisticated AJAX approaches, as well as consideration of different AJAX frameworks, like Dojo.

Furthermore, I’m excited about actually considering the adoption of an application framework (perhaps Model-Glue or ColdSpring), using a source code repository (like Subversion), and finally making the switch from Dreamweaver to CFEclipse.

If that weren’t enough, the typical networking benefits of the conference have taken effect, and I’ve been energized by the enthusiasm of a lot of guys in the industry.

It is actually that last point that leads me to my determination to overhaul my website. I need to stay more active in the industry, and one way I should do that is by more actively working on my blog. And not just for ColdFusion, but for any other web development topics that interest me, as well as my typical interest an Apple, Linux, and Microsoft news.

Keep an eye out. The overhaul is coming.
