Apologies that may find me diverting from the normal topics of this blog (which I've failed horribly at keeping up) but I had a interesting solution and thought I'd share how I over came it. We're still working out some of the logistics within our new headquarters at work and one of those items to overcome is no VGA input to the LCD in the conference room.  Typically if we want to share

First a step back. Communication on the internet happens because every end-point has an IP address. IP addresses are like phone numbers on the internet. But IP addresses such as 192.168.245.123 are a little hard to remember for every website you visit so we have domains and hostnames. In order for an IP address to be associated with a hostname a computer will ask a DNS server (or Domain

A couple months ago I asked myself this question. As most people know, I've suffered from chronic wrist pain in both my wrists. I've had to do a lot to get through some of the pain. Yep, I most certainly have the highly recommend star ship enterprise keyboard aka the Microsoft Natural keyboard. I've had that keyboard for years and has greatly help putting my wrists in a more natural position

With the recent passing of my desktop computer and the diminishing health of both of our laptops, its becoming clear that my wife and I are going to need to get a new computer soon. That said, I'm at a loss as to what I should become serious about purchasing. I love Apple computers. I'm typing this up on a true soldier, my old iBook from well before Apple could spell Intel. I also love the

I'll admit that I barely use the Google Voice service's feature list. I don't really need another phone number nor all the call routing. The thing I love about this service though is the voicemail. Its feature packed and even more so since I have a phone with the Android OS. First, a recent feature that Google implemented is being able to use your Google Voice voicemail as your primary

Most people that I talked to when finding their first SLR their question is "Do I go Canon or Nikon?". Online research will lead you nowhere because they're both great companies that make great cameras. Both companies offer a ton of choice when it comes to the camera bodies, lenses, flashes and other accessories. There is no lack of options to give you the perfect combination for your

(in reply to a comment thread on Facebook) Its interesting to hear that people have been having issues with Acrobat. But do I follow the news regarding Acrobat much? Actually, not at all. My focus has been in the Coldfusion/Flex area of the Adobe product line. I use CF to produce PDF's all the time for different client senarios and not once has anything every come back to me about PDF's

Having never touched one and after only reading some things online about it, I'm not a fan. My hope when this thing was rumored was that it was a tablet form of the macbook air. With an actual computer operating system, the device would have a lot of potential. Instead we got the iPod Touch XL and the Touch's limitations. No real ability to multitask, no native printing, applications based

Being impatient for the update (my wife is still waiting and I'm out of town) I manually updated my Droid to the 2.1 update. The directions are clearly outlined here: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-droid-android-21 This update was to give the phone a lot of the features that you see on the Google Nexus One. Clearly we couldn't expect everything that the Nexus One has in

So, I haven't used this blog in a long time. Blogging started to become sooo 2003 to me but recently i've realized how much of my day is spent doing two things: searching for answers in blogs and trying to answer questions that people randomly ask me. Seemed to me that if somebody has the question and I somehow get the answer, it should be shared. So that is going to be the main focus of this

Here are a couple quick things that will hopefully help some other people out there in the jQuery world. YUI Grids and the jQuery UI don't like each other. You get one or the other. With version 1.7 of the UI, be sure to use the destroy method instead of close. Otherwise you won't be able to open that dialog again without a refresh. Credit goes to my coworker for figuring out what the

now more issues... i had a script running to populate a city and state field on a blur event from the zip code field pointing back to a cfc to do the processing. it was running fine inside a cfwindow until i was frustrated with the woes of cfwindow and had to cut it out. by just taking it out of that window and adding header/footer includes it suddenly stopped seeing my callback handler and

ok, haven't been in here a while but this is worth throwing out there. cfajax is junk. i was excited to see how simple it was at cfunited but now i'm majorly disappointed. these are the two major shortcomings i've found plus other annoyances. 1) You can't do more than 1 cflocation with in a container. The second will push the destination page out to the parent. So no path of pages such as a

i'm starting to think there's potential to amazon webservices as potential extra cash if I can implement it correctly. so to see if there was a book about it i searched....amazon! they do have a book about it and it was a measely $6 so i bought it. why not?
