I'm in sunny London on business right now, and tomorrow night I'm out for a few beers with some splendid fellows like Kev McCabe and Mark Drew. Make sure you come along.

Next week (Tues 10-Fri 13th, oooh scary), it's Belfast's turn to host me and I wonder if there's any CF developers there who want to grab a beer at some point???

If so, leave me a comment.

Following on from my last post, which highlighted Nick Bradbury's posts on tips for Independent Developers, I just want to say that he's released a few more.

• Tip 4 - Get a Life
• Tip 5 - Think Small (But Act Big)
• Tip 6 - Learn from the Wii

Essential reading.

Nick Bradbury, author of some of my favourite applications over the years including Homesite and Topstyle, has an interesting series of posts of Tips for Independent Developers.

This is of particular interest to me right now as I've recently went full time with my own company, Fuzzy Orange Ltd, and whilst I don't operate as an independent consultant as there is more than just me to the company, there's still a lot of good relevant information.

You can find the first couple of posts here:
Tips for Independent Developers
Tip 1 - Build Something You Need
Tip 2 - Build Something You Can Support
Tip 3 - Don't try to be cool

Nando has a series of excellent postings on Object Orientation in ColdFusion. And what's nice about these posts, is that they are written from a real newbie perspective.

For those (still) struggling to get a grasp on how OO and ColdFusion can work together, make sure you head over to Nando's blog.

Just a quick note to say that there is only a single slot left on the Pre Conference Training taking place the day before Scotch on the Rocks.

On Wednesday 30th May, Kev McCabe and myself will be giving a full day hands on course, costing a mere £75+VAT, where we will take you through the process of setting up your complete software control and management environment.

I'll be taking the class in the morning and I'll be leading folks through installing Subversion, creating a repository and checking out your first project. I'll then show how to install and configure Trac, and how you can use them together.

Kev will then take over after lunch and he'll walk folks through Cruise Control, how to auto deploy your applications with Ant and how to run unit tests straight from your favourite IDE, CFEclipse, using CFUnit.

Some of you may remember one of my Ramblings of a Scottish Madman posts from last year, where I spoke about currency here in the UK.

Well, there was an interesting story in the papers over the weekend about the exchange rate for Scottish notes, compared to English notes at a hotel in Hong Kong.

Although the value of Scottish and English notes is identical, this particular hotel has in fact decided they are different.

The hotel in question is the Sheraton in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The hotel pays 14.10 local dollars to the pound for the English notes, but only 11.90 for the Scottish variety.

I'd like to say that if I ever make it to Hong Kong I'll avoid this hotel like the plague, but as it's a luxuary 5 star, I doubt I could afford it anyway.
