Remove EXIF data?

14 February 22:36 (EST)
Does anyone know how to remove EXIF data from image?

It looks like cfimage keeps all EXIF information upon resizing, so produced small thumbnail 75x75 px will be around 20K instead of just 2K because of extra data.

Protect your CF application

7 August 15:02 (EST)
Starting yesterday most of my CF websites are under constant attacks by bots, which are trying to implement SQL injection attack using additional URL parameters.

Since not all applications were developed using CFQUERYPARAM tag and update of all CFQUERY calls will take a long time, simple solution has been developed to block hackers. ( read more on Protect your CF application )

Facebook Error 500: POST data is missing in the POST

Error opening the editor

14 May 2008 19:11 (EST)
Today I ran into the following problem while working in CFEclipse:
Error opening the editor.
org.eclipse.jface.text.Document cannot be cast to
org.cfeclipse.cfml.editors.ICFDocument

As a result of further investigation I discovered lack of permissions to a few files on mapped network drive with my spaghetti code.

Validate your feed!

3 March 2008 22:10 (EST)
Tonight I had some time to clean up blogroll for CFDA aggregator and noticed how many CF blogs does not validate their feeds.

While aggregator is setup to fix common errors (null characters, non-standard date format, etc.), from now it will also be counting http errors and checking feeds validity to prioritize data fetching. Therefore I want to encourage you to double check your feeds and its validity.

Another kindly request is to properly categorize blog entries using relevant tags.

For feed validation you can use W3C Feed Validation Service or FEED Validator.

BTW, ColdFusion is a single word for many years already, not Cold Fusion.

OpenID 2.0 Final

11 December 2007 16:14 (EST)
Late summer 2005, Brad Fitzpatrick at Six Apart came up with OpenID to facilitate authenticating your ownership of a URL to another website. The driving force behind this was to enable commenting across multiple blogging sites with the need for accounts on each of these services.

On 5th December 2007 OpenID 2.0 specifications has been released.

OpenID 1.0 is largely about authentication. OpenID 2.0 adds several important new capabilities:

- directed identities
- attribute exchange
- support or large requests and responses
- robust support or extensions
- support for XRIs

OpenID should be viewed as a core fundamental enabling technology. It allows the authentication and exchange of account data between un-related websites. Indeed, it does not attempt to solve higher level problems, such as authorization. Instead you can invision it as the underlying technology for interactions between social networks.

More than 8,000 websites currently accept OpenID and this figure is growing by five percent per week.

- Javascript methods that come with ColdFusion 8
