Listening to This Developer’s Life makes me miss being around programmer’s. They’re very harsh to outsiders, but once you’re in, they’re real dears and loving.
The main thing is: they’re curious about everything and love ideas. They’re explorers of a world that doesn’t exist and that they’re creating more of each day.
Charles asked me to think of some ways you’d use sandboxed JavaScript on the server side – I jump right in with some examples:

We’ll see if any of it helps Charles out with his talk.

In this two episodes in one episodes, Charles and I embed an episode of RIA Weekly into an episode of DrunkAndRetired.com. It’s like a taco in a hamburger wrapped in a slice of pizza.
Here’s a brief summary:
, which I give a brief overview of.
Charles has been developing and giving a talk on using JavaScript over the past few months. He gave it up at the Detroit Java User Group, and it looks like he’ll be giving it at the Ann Arbor Java User Group next week, Tuesday April 28th. Charles has been perfecting the “every-day” use of JavaScript for awhile, as you know if you’ve been listening to the podcast, and this talk is a good sum-up of all that work and knowledge.
Here’s the summary:
Charles Lowell will show why JavaScript is like no other major language when it comes to embedding into an application. Drawing from personal experience, Charles will present a treatment of the JavaScript object system and philosophy.
He will demonstrate how to use JavaScript to implement a scriptable webservice and demonstrate the ability to add and remove properties to native java objects and classes.
I posted this episode to the feed last week, but didn’t have time to post here. So, here it is!
In this episode, while I’m State-side, Charles is still in Finland. Thus, we start out talking about the wood-burning sauna he’s been using. We then jump into a discussion of Chrome, and then I float the theory that there’s major cracks in the dominance of web-only UIs – what with RIAs and the iPhone.
We wrap up with a special production from Charles.
In this episode:
I then detail how a little jaunt to iUseThis.com stuck me a desktop optimization rut, esp. after I found AppFresh.
Thanks to John Arley Burns for sending over the Starcontrol sounds.
This week we phoned in our recording as I was at Velocity 08, smack in the middle of a crazy week of cloud conferences – Tour de Force.com, Velocity, Cloud Camp, and then Structure.
We spend most of our time talking about Charles using Flex (without FlexBuilder) and then get into coverage of the the cloud-headed I’d been doing up to that point.
Episode 128 is up. We talk of code and then get into other exciting issues.
Also, got some programming work that needs doin’? Charles is looking around for some, so drop him a line if or comment below.
In this episode, we start out talking about Puppet (whose patron company, Reductive Labs is a RedMonk client). I then re-cap the Our Bodies exhibit Kim and saw, we move onto a short discussion of using Rational Tools from Charles’ consulting days (I’ll be at RSDC next week). We wrap up with Charles’ growing distaste for Ajax, but his lack of anything else to use.
