What I like About CF9…Solr Indexing

July 28, 2009 By Michaela Light Leave a Comment

I am excited about the up coming ColdFusion 9 release Solr free text search – it replaces the Verity free text search that has been in ColdFusion for over eight years.  TeraTech has been using the open source Java Solr search on a project for the American Psychological Association and we have been impressed with how […]

Crowd Chess

May 15, 2008 By Michaela Light 1 Comment

Is one single person smarter than an enormous group of people?  Is a crowd better at making decisions than one trained expert?  Crowdchess.com is taking this idea and putting it to the ultimate test, a mass exhibition of the ultimate strategy game where it is literally the world versus chess Grand Master Gawain Jones, one […]

Why use Whole Brain Programming

September 19, 2007 By Michaela Light Leave a Comment

Why do I use the whole brain for programming rather than the traditional left brain skills such as logical thinking and syntax? Because it makes for better programs and happier clients. For example a right brain tool such as mindmapping lets me diagram out website requirements in a visual format. I can’t explain why but […]

Do you use your Whole Brain while developing?

May 23, 2007 By Michaela Light Leave a Comment

Recently Dan Pink’s book “A Whole New Mind” suggested that the era of “left brain” dominance, and the Information Age that it engendered, are giving way to a new world in which “right brain” qualities-inventiveness, empathy, meaning-predominate. I will be leading a Birds of Feather session at CFUNITED to discuss ways to leverage both sides […]
