 | 10 May 03:08 Today's picture of the day comes from Ben Nadel: Awesome. Now I just need to dig up a picture of the KIA Spectra. ;) And while I'm linking in pictures, for those who couldn't make it to cfObjective, or the Geek swarm (*) at Iron Man, here ... 9 May 21:52 Yesterday I was reading an interesting article (from Dzone): The future of PHP So why is an admitted ColdFusion fan-boy reading about PHP? As much as I love CF and think nothing compares to it (cue Sinead), I don't for one minute think that it has a monopoly on all the good ideas. While reading the article (oh, btw, congrats on getting XML, SOAP, and Unicode support in guys - welcome to CF6) I noticed a few things that I thought could perhaps be of use in ColdFusion. 8 May 23:05 I sometimes like to start the morning off with an easy question. Makes me feel all smarty-pants and stuff. Here is a quickie from Patrick that may actually be news to some folks, so hopefully it will be easy for me - helpful for others. Hi Ray, me again I have a, maybe silly, question about getting the current directory. I have to get the current directory in which a template resides. But I don't want the full path. If i run www.example.com/folder/index. 8 May 03:11 Two quickies for the lunch time crowd. As folks remember, I ran a "We are too dang fat" contest back in January. I was proud to say I went from 230 to 211 during the 10 week process. Today I went to the doctor (not for anything important) so I took t... 7 May 23:33 Just a quick tip. If your box is setup to run Model-Glue2 already, you probably have a ColdFusion mapping set up for ModelGlue that points to the V2 framework. If you want to play with V3 but not mess up your V2 sites (not to imply Joe is anything less than perfect), then consider this simple tip. Make a new instance of the application template, then open up Application.cfc and add this: Of course you would edit the path to point to the right folder. 7 May 22:54 Shimju asks: In a model-glue app, suppose I have 3 templates files - templateA, templateB and templateC. All are set as private events in model-glue.xml. Now my requirement is I want to select a particular template dynamically based on Arguments.event.AddResult("templateA") which we set on contoller method for the event. Based on this, I want corresponding template should appear for that event. Can you please advice how we can accomplish this. 7 May 00:15 If you couldn't make any of the Adobe Developer Week meetings, the recordings have been released here: http://www.adobe. 6 May 00:58 Well at least according to Tiobe. I guess this makes me a unicorn herder or some such. I'mnot going to bother linking to the drivel that these guys used for logic as I'm on my iPhone, but please Forta's blog and many others for linkage and better res... 5 May 06:20 I've attached a zip with the slide and code from my Spry presentation, as well as the slides from my Model-Glue presentation. My MG presentation did have a bit of code, but as it was just me playing with the application skeleton, I figure folks don't care too much for that. Once again Jared and team have done an excellent job with the conference. I was a bit worried about the location since last years was so good, but the hotel was perfectly fine. 4 May 04:10 First off, Todd Sharp has just released slidesix, which he describes in more detail here. It is a presentation hosting service built in ColdFusion (with Model-Glue FTW!). One of the coolest features is that you can record audio for a slideshow directly on the site. Secondly - NIN has released this second new single, also for free. This time they used Facebook. You can download it here. | | |
