ColdFusion 9 Goodie that kicks your ass in 8

2011-12-12T22:56:00.001-05:00

I know the title may be a little exaggerating, but today this caused me a lot of headaches. I have a client which I am updating their site which runs on ColdFusion 8 and without noticing it appears I got a little lazy in typing my CreateObject statements, as so; <![CDATA[ CreateObject(name.of.cfc) ]]> While this works great in ColdFusion 9 it fails miserably in ColdFusion 8. I have no

Guess they couldn't give you the upper hand while you were still around. Adobe's statement in the style of a child .... "We give up on Adobe Flash for Mobile .. pfftt ....whatever ... " They also said HTML5 was a better technology, even though we all know that means more than 1 single technology and browser capabilities have enhanced, but it is for the laymen to comprehend. Words I heard you

Setting up SQL Server 2008 Express with Profiler

2011-10-19T11:30:00.001-04:00

Today I needed to use the SQL profiler which unfortunately is not included in the tools that are bundled with SQL Server Express. Then I found this article that shows you how to get it done with a command line entry. Thank you Tony Sneed! http://blog.tonysneed.com/2010/08/05/setting-up-sql-server-2008-express-with-profiler/

Updating GIT on Mac OSX Lion

2011-10-16T13:57:00.005-04:00

Today I had an issues that was driving me crazy, so I thought I would share my experience and hopefully it helps someone. The scenario is that you want to update your local git install to the latest version but after running the installer you still see the previous version you had. For example, when I ran the following command I would get: git --version git version 1.7.5.4 This is the git

Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

2011-10-05T20:49:00.002-04:00

Today, Steve Jobs, Co-Founder of Apple passed away from pancreatic cancer at 56 years young. As an individual, he truly inspired me and created such a loyal and proud love to a single brand. I never had the privilege to meet him face to face and I am sure all that did are very saddened today. My condolences go out to all his family and friends! If you would like to share your thoughts, memories,

How I Got Started In ColdFusion

2011-08-01T22:43:00.004-04:00

This post is inspired by Steve Bryant's suggestion to make August 1st, 2011 the "How I Got Started In ColdFusion" day. My story is quite simple but it started back in 1998-99, can't quite pin point the date. You see I was a musician (kinda still am - you can check out anytime you want but you you can never leave) and that was pretty much my life. It consumed me and it was all that mattered and

Lion Server, VPN and Time Capsule as Router Issue

2011-07-21T02:17:00.001-04:00

Well, today I upgraded all my machines to Lion and the experience overall was pleasant. Since I had 4 machines to upgrade, rather than downloading the install 4 times I was able to save the install to a flash drive. I was able to copy the installer to the flash drive so I can copy to the other machines (this can only be done before installing right after the download is complete from the app

Boilerplate Templates

I am a big supporter of standards based development and pushing the envelope when I can. I also promote the use of various frameworks or templates that help you learn and succeed at best practices development. One of those is the html5boilerplate (http://html5boilerplate.com/). This template not only starts you off at a good point but has so many valuable tools and documentation to get you up to

Google's Tribute to Les Paul

2011-06-09T10:55:00.002-04:00

I am sure you have all visited Google today and noticed that there is a strange image on the top that seems to represent electric guitar strings as displayed below. The cool thing is you can mouse over the strings and sound will play. Also, you can record a few seconds of music and share it via a short link provided by Google. I personally think this is freaking awesome!!!!! To listen to my
