Patch for CFImage and java.io.FileNotFoundException

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:35:00 -0500

Stumbled across this peach. A little used resize page was tossing errors. Instead of looking for a solution, I ripped through the code trying to figure out where I had screwed up. Turns out I didn't. Lesson learned - again. Patch for CFImage...

I've wound up with an extra printed copy of the latest Fusion Authority Quarterly Update (Vol 2 - Issue 4). Instead of letting it collect dust here, I thought I would share it with someone who might not have been exposed to the goodness that is the ...

MacBook Pro Color Profile

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 21:58:00 -0500

I stumbled across this color profile on a forum earlier this week and the couple of folks I've shared it with had similar results to me. I can't promise it will work for you but only take a minute to try and is easy to toss out if you don't like it....

FAQU - I was blown away

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 20:26:00 -0500

I'll start by saying I can't remember the last time I actually paid for a magazine subscription. I get more free subs than I can actually read. Over the years I would sometimes purchase a copy of the CFDJ if I ran across one and that is about it fo...
