 | 9 Jul 22:49 My botched preso from a few weeks ago to the Connecticut CFUG will be redone tonight. I've already tested the connection and know how to get around the 'your res is too sexy for connect' bug so things should run smoothly. The meeting will be held at 5PM CST. It is a repeat of my CFUNITED CF8 Ajax presentation, so some of my readers have probably seen this before. I'm going to try to fit in more material from the second part that I created just for CFUNITED however. 8 Jul 02:40 After a bit of a public call out, I realized it was time to start thinking of the Friday Puzzler again. I came up with what I thought was a fun one, but it ended up being something I thought would be a bit more than 5 minutes. So this Puzzler will be for the entire week, and to sweeten the pot a bit, Ben Forta will be sharing a copy of CFWACK (3rd book) with the winner. This isn't a real 'contest' per se, but just a slightly more intense Friday Puzzler. Ready? 7 Jul 23:18 Remy Sharp has posted a nice AIR jQuery API browser. You can find it here: http://remysharp.com/2008/07/04/jquery-api-update-offline-and-anywhere/ This is great if you need offline access to jQuery docs. The only thing missing is a generic brow... 7 Jul 20:24 This is just a quick note to point out the example on the Railo Blog on their cluster scope: Railo Blog: Cluster Scope Read the blog entry for details, but basically it boils down to server A registering server B and vice versa. After which you can then use Cluster as a scope on either machine. Set cluster.x to 1 on machine A and machine B can read it. What's impressive is that you can also use the admin to determine if the updates have failed. 6 Jul 23:27 One of the books that came up at the SciFi BOF back at CFUNITED was World War Z. The book is written as if it were non-fiction. It is a collection of numerous interviews from folks who have survived a zombie war. It's ten years past the end of th... 5 Jul 21:44 Pat asks: Is there an easy way to 'sort' a two dimensional array ? I know you can use ArraySort() on a single dimensional array. For example: I have a two dimensional array that has a reference number in element 1 (which refers to a supplier in a database), in element 2 is a calculated distance from a supplied postcode. The array is produced in the order that suppliers are retrieved from the database. However, it would be better to sort the array by distance before outputting the data. 4 Jul 23:02 For those who are celebrating it, have a happy 4th of July. I'll be out of the office today braving my first set of ribs on the grill. How hard can it be? (Especially with a few beers in me! 4 Jul 01:25 Andy asks: This is probably a stupid question but I can't seem to get this to work. I'm using a ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm and I thought that I would be able to return something from the form's submit handler page using my callback function. I can't seem to get this to work. 3 Jul 22:20 Ok, so this falls in the "Not so sure this is a good idea" department. Stefan Vesterlund posted a comment on my last blog entry concerning returnformat. He asked if it was possible to change the returnFormat at runtime. I said that I didn't think it was possible, but that you could simply use returnFormat="plain" and return JSON or WDDX manually. He played around with it and discovered you could override the default behavior. Consider the following code sample. 3 Jul 02:47 As a follow up to my open letter on Adobe Certification (which again, never garnered an official response), I have an update to share with my readers. Before I do so though I have a lot of preparatory text I need to get out of the way. The following ... | | |
