I did an interview for CFConversations back in October and it is now released. Please check it out by visiting the cfconversations website.
It was a true pleasure to talk to Brian Meloche and Adam Haskell. I had a great time talking to those guys. We talked from everything about El Salvador, Salvadorean food, the Salvadorean Civil War, coming to the US, the roots of ColdBox and the future of ColdBox.
So if you have time, please check it out and don’t forget about ColdBox Training is now available for March 14-15th in Ontario, CA.
I am back from vacation, what an incredible vacation. I toured most of turkey and it was an amazing experience. Turkey is an incredibly beautiful country!
Anyways, I am back to the grind and should be coding like a more relaxed maniac now 
This is just a note that I am out for a well deserved vacation to Paris and then off to Turkey. ColdBox will be on my mind, but hopefully for not very long (the wife might beat me up). We will be doing an entire tour of Turkey and visit its majestic locations! We are incredible excited to be able to go and learn about Turkey.
Paris is just a stop over, so we will only have two days to drink the wine, eat the croissants and visit the sites. Ahh paris!!
Anyways, please don’t bother me, no development for 2 weeks, wohoo!!
Thanks!!
Canon is truly awesome. I bought a Canon Elph SD 100 back in december of 2003 and it has been a truly great camera. This year for some reason the lens gave out and I was truly dissapointed. I was not looking forward to chuggin another $450 for a new camera, since this one did what I need it. So I decided to write to Canon to see if they had any kind of repairs for this type of camera. In a matter of 3 days I had a paid return shipment on my door. I placed the camera and off it went to those nice Canon factories. In two weeks, I received a package with my camera fixed, FREE OF CHARGE!! For being a loyal Canon customer. MAN!! Is this customer service or what. Well, if not I would not even be writing this entry. So there you go, I think Canon is awesome, I am a true loyal customer now.
I just landed today in Redlands California. My new home!! I will be starting my new employment at ESRI the following week and my new adventures have just started. I landed in the afternoon and headed for my new apartments to check them out. Once I got there, man, what a dump!! It is really hard to decide on a place by just looking at pictures. I decided to get the *&(&# out of there. Panic soon ensued, my van line from Florida is arriving in three days and I have no home. I soon turned out to three locations and found a decent place. Tomorrow I go apartment scouting and hopefully find a suitable location by tomorrow.
A part from that, the area is very nice, the weather is completely amazing in comparison to Miami’s hot and humid nastiness. The temperature right now is about 51 degrees and it is awesome. I can finally wear sweaters and cold weather clothes.
Anyways, just a quick post to say goodbye to 12 years of living in Miami and welcoming a new era at ESRI in Redlands, CA. I believe good things are about to happen, I am excited and can’t wait to start developing!!!
Bye Bye Miami!!!
Welcome Home Redlands!!
I am an Uncle today,
Nicolas Majano Larrea was born today at South Miami Hospital!! I am extremely happy, I can’t imagine when it will be my very own son!
This post is dedicated to the Sandals development team since I have place my resignation last week. I will be moving to better and more distant fields at ESRI in Redlands, California.
I excited to announce that I have accepted a senior web development position at ESRI (www.esri.com) The Geoghraphical software giants, and will be starting mid-November. I am truly excited to start work at this great company and with so many great engineers. I hope they like ColdBox!! jejeje
I thank Sandals for all the time they gave me, the opportunity to shine and bring forward more Object Oriented Coldfusion than they ever imagined possible. Thanks for this great 4 years where I have grown and learned.
I guess I have a cool new governor, ARNOLD!!
Adiue Sandals!!
Finally, after four years of waiting we get the World Cup. I am excited just like a little kid. I bought my stickers album like I have since Spain 1982 and have it almost filled out. I am wearing my Argentina Jersey today in preparation for tomorrows game against Ivory Coast. For all you "Futbol" fans, hope you are ready for an exciting month!!
Viva Argentina Boludo!!
Well, I am back from my vacation to Amazing Thailand!! Wow what a wonderful country, we spent about 12 days in Asia with my wife. You can look at the amazing pictures here:
Photo Gallery
The trip was amazing, we started in Hong Kong for two days then to hectic Bangkok. What a busy city, reminds me of mexico city. We then headed to Krabi in the south of thailand to a beautiful resort called Tubkaak. What a resort!! In the middle of the jungle with a beach. The pictures tell the story. We then headed to Koh Phi Phi island, where they filmed the Beach. Amazing beaches!!We did not have the greatest weather there, almost threw up on the boats, but overall a great experience.
We then headed to Koh Samui another island chain. WOW!! This island has it all. You can go elephant riding, snorkeling, jungle exploration, etc. And the restaurants are amazing. We then concluded our trip in Bangkok for 5 more days. Thailand is indeed a beautiful country, the people are extremely nice and best of all it is really cheap!! Really really cheap.
Well enjoy the pictures.
This post is totally geeky, but anyways, coming to work today I ran by a gas station where a Delorean was parked. WOW!!! Those childhood Back To The Future memories ran wild!!
