  One big takeaway I get from his speech is that it doesn't necessarily mean stop doing what you're doing overall, but do it differently. For example, I really dislike grad school and dislike group work where I inevitably am doing a large portion of the work. My new attitude is that it's almost o... read more »

• Posting Form Values With The ColdFusion CFHttp And CFHttpParam Tags

  Posted on Oct 3, 2011 at 4:19 PM

  Posted on Apr 4, 2011 at 1:03 PM

  My boyfriend usually gets up 2 hours before he has leave to be anywhere, which boggles my mind. I get up about half an hour before I need to leave.
