I had an odd issue today where I was using AjaxOnLoad to run a javascript, and I was getting an error that the function was not defined. The function and the ColdFusion.Event.registerOnLoad even were both getting added to the page. I could create an anchor tag on the page with an onclick and it would run the code fine, so I was perplexed as to why it was telling me that the function wasn't defined. See if you can spot the problem.
At LandsofAmerica I've been making extensive use of the onMissingMethod() functionality of CF8 to provide implicit getters and setters. This has worked fantastically well, and I'm never going back to explicitly declaring these unless I have to :). But one problem I've had was with using my implicit getters and setters inside my objects. It just didn't work...
Oh yeah, we did!
I just thought you should know that...
That's right. A big fat yes to go with the big fat ring...
Just in case you need some assurance, has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet?.
A ploy by Meetup to try and get me to go outside, Unplug your friends is a clever way to let the geek in your life know that they're getting pasty and pale... Get those geeks some Vitamin D!
My brother is a new mac user, and is starting to get into recording and audio engineer stuff I don't know anything about. I know he has lots of big files though, and needs to know how to back them up. So I was telling him about my current backup strategy, and figured I should write up a post about it for posterity's sake.
I was watching Law & Order last night and saw a commercial for Rock Band 2. It looks like the RB2 release date is September 14th. Just an hour earlier I'd gone to GameStop, traded in some old games, and reserved by bright and shiny new copy. Hopefully my new drum kit is here at the same time.
This is news to me, but it looks like Adobe is discontinuing the FlashPaper...
Today I gave my two week's notice at lynda.com. After 2 and a half years there it's time to move on. I've learned a lot about enterprise application development in my time at lynda.com. Working on CF clusters and SQL Server 2005 upgrades and cluster management. Through all the trials and tribulations (moving to Austin, starting a team, and disbanding a team), I grew a lot and have become a better developer for it.
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that
It looks like my new addiction is getting closer to released. It looks like all of the pieces for the new Drum Rocker kit from Ion are available, which means an additional cymbal as well as a double bass pedal. Maybe with a double bass pedal I can make it through some of the tougher speed metal songs and won't be so exhausted at the end of Green Grass and High Tides :)
Mango wasn't accounting for the excerpt in the MT API, so I've added hooks for that. The TwitterPost plugin was sending the wrong URL to Twitter, so I've de-activated it, reactivated it, and reloaded my configuration to find out if it will post correctly. This is that test :)
This is just a test from MarsEdit to make sure that the Excerpt actually posts into Mango.
Can you help find this man...
This is my first post on my new Mango-driven blog.
I got a little nudge from the Transfer group the other day about my ASP blog for ColdFusion code :). Well this blog has been around since February 2002 (if you can believe that) with almost no architectural changes. I've changed the display a bit here and there, but it's essentially the same ASP code I wrote 6 friggin' years ago...
In my recent adventures with Transfer, I ran into a problem where objects that weren't yet saved were showing up in my cached Transfer objects. Since I don't make mistakes (uh huh...) I immediately assumed this was a bug in Transfer, and went about documenting my problem on the Transfer group.
Continuing work on my top secret app and learning CCT (ColdBox, ColdSpring, and Transfer), I'm going to describe how to handle stamp and stampupdated columns in your tables.
As I'm working with ColdBox, I was reminded just how handy snippets and trigger text can be. ColdBox has a metric ton of snippets available for CFEclipse, most of them with trigger text all ready to go. So I wanted to take a moment to go through how you can create your own snippets and trigger text to speed up common operations
Things have been rough on the work front lately, but I'm starting to finally move forward again. It's been about 6 months since I've actually built anything worth mentioning, and I'm finally starting to get back into it :)
