My Google Code Site

March 12 2008 by Andrew Powell
After talking to Ben Stucki at 360|Flex, I decided that I should create a Google Code site for my code samples and preso posts. I am currently in the process of moving all my os code and preso samples into this repository for public consumption. Going forward, you will be able to find all my code samples there. It is released under the MIT License, which basically means, it's released "as is" and without warranty. Some things will be posted and never updated again. Other things will be updated and improved. There is no set schedule for projects to be updated, it's just a central point for you to find my code samples. My Google Code Site

Introducing StockQuoter IM

January 14 2008 by Andrew Powell
I have a relative who is very into his stocks. He's constantly looking for the latest information and pricing on his stocks. So, as they say, necessity was the mother of invention. I took some time this last weekend to give the XMPP IM gateway in CF8 a roll. I merged my existing work I had done with getting stock quotes via a web service and the CF gateway technology. I came up with StockQuoter. StockQuoter is a GoogleTalk buddy (cfstockticker@gmail.com) which you can add to your buddy list and get instant stock quotes (delayed up to 20 minutes). Simply IM either a single symbol, or a comma delimited list of symbols and StockQuoter will return you the current prices and the change since the market opened. Again, all you need to do to use StockQuoter is add it to your buddy list. The buddy to add is: cfstockticker@gmail.com Happy quoting!
