I am pretty excited about the next version of ColdFusion. Between the .NET integration, server monitoring and image manipulation, this version is looking like a very nice upgrade. So try it out: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/coldfusion8/

One thing I have noticed recently about the World of Warcraft Armory site is that the guild-info.xml is not updated as frequently as the individual character-sheet.xml pages. So if you are looking to accurately represent player level in your custom roster pages, make sure to pull character level from the character-sheet.xml as it will be the most accurate.

I am still pretty new to the e-Learning scene. I have only been working with that intent for a little over a year now and find myself learning new things everyday. Recently I got to attend a user group focused on Lectora. The presentation was very informative but when I followed some of the links to the presenters website I was shocked to see it done in Lectora.

This entry builds off my previous entry for building a Burning Crusade Progress Page. The first entry covered how to pull the data, this entry will cover the display.

I have been a long time fan of the Paladin Sucks blog but recently they have stopped posting. I can't find out why but I assume because of the changes to the paladin class of late and the new Lord of the Rings Online MMO. I don't have the time to go through the mess that is the World of Warcraft Forums so I went searching for some new Paladin related blogs and have found two replacements. Blessing of Kings is geared more towards the healadin side of being a Paladin but also has insite and news on general Paladin issues. Zen Tanking is geared towards the tankadin side of being a Paladin which is a great find since that is my focus too. The other neat find during my search was a Think Geek T-Shirt called Team Paladin. I want to get one but I just know the teasing I will get from my wife about it.
