 | 17 Jul 05:57 Just a quick note to let folks know that Sean has blogged an update on what the CFML Advisory Group has been up to: CFML Advisory Committee Update If you were curious as to what the status is, please check out his entry. 16 Jul 20:53 Last night at our local user group I was introduced to Vimeo. It looks to be a slicker looking clone of YouTube. The video controls are nicer and you can get a HD version of the video as well. (If the submitter provides one of course.) For a good example, ok, a crazy example, check out this video: GORBACHOV: THE MUSIC VIDEO - BIGGER AND RUSSIANER Warning - this video is PG13 and a bit on the edge of work safe. But it's funny as heck. 15 Jul 22:13 Two quick things you should check when your error handling isn't working right. 1) Make sure your error handler doesn't have a bug itself. A good example of this is an error handler that sends a report to application.adminEmail. If your error occurs in application startup, before application.adminEmail is set, then it is no surprise that your error handler would fail as well. Suggestion: Make your error handler as simple as possible. Just a "Something is wrong" text message. 15 Jul 04:58 For those who like to twit (or who may be a twit), you can now follow CFBloggers via Twitter: http://twitter.com/cfbloggers I'm using Twitter Client by Elliott Sprehn. If you view all the twits on the account you will see some older entries whi... 14 Jul 22:29 It's been a week since I announced the Lemonade Stand contest, and I hope folks weren't too disappointed when I delayed the results last Friday. Thankfully that whole mess is done with now. Last night I worked a bit more on my simulator, trying to clean up the results a bit, but the code itself is still a bit ugly. But who cares. What folks want to know is who won this little contest. 13 Jul 21:34 I hope folks will forgive me for not talking about the iPhone again, but here is a good ColdFusion question from Mark: I'm a little confused about using CFLOCK in the Application.cfc file. Is it needed when writing to Application variables and if so from which function (e.g. onRequestStart) Thanks. 13 Jul 04:58 So after all the drama yesterday, I did get to play a bit the App Store. Here are my impressions, and a tip or two, so far. 12 Jul 21:54 Yesterday I wrote a little blog entry on how the upgrade experience for my iPhone didn't go so well (by the way, it's all good now and I'll have another blog entry about the 2.0 firmware later today). Little did I know that a few other people were having issues with their upgrades as well. All of a sudden I began to get a regular flood of comment emails. I started watching the stats for the entry and couldn't believe what I was seeing. 11 Jul 22:48 Ugh. So I was really excited about the new iPhone 2.0 firmware. In fact, I had already grabbed a bunch of apps yesterday so I could sync as soon as possible. So far though it looks like my iPhone is dead. On the first attempt to update, I got an u... 11 Jul 20:45 If you sent in code for the Friday Puzzler and do not see your name listed below, get me your code asap. I plan on revealing the winner (and sharing the code) around 1PM CST. | | |
