CFQuery Timeout Uses KILL QUERY Command With MySQL 5 Driver In ColdFusion
Posted on Jul 25, 2017 at 12:04 PM
Hey Ben, though I've known about the query timeout attribute for years, I didn't know about this KILL behavior. Thanks for enlightening me! So, what version of ColdFusion are you running?... read more »

Getting Contact, Photos, And Social Media Information Using FullContact.com And An Email Address
Posted on Oct 14, 2011 at 10:44 AM
@Ray - strange, this works http://refynr.com/secure/account/TwitterUser.cfm?screenName=cfjedimaster (via your twitter URL, and you must be logged in to Refynr). It really finds a lot on my account: http://refynr.com/secure/account/TwitterUser.cfm?screenName=aqlong <cfhttp url="htt... read more »

Getting Contact, Photos, And Social Media Information Using FullContact.com And An Email Address
Posted on Oct 14, 2011 at 1:15 AM
Ben and Ray - you might like this one, too. Google has the Social Graph API, so if all you know is a social media URL (or email address) for someone, you can get pretty much all the publicly available social info about that person with a free (limited) and super-simple API - http://code.google.com/... read more »

Ode To ColdFusion On Valentine's Day
Posted on Feb 14, 2011 at 10:59 AM
Almost fell out my chair laughing! faves: "Where byte-code falls like dreamy thunder", and "But over time, I've been demeaned... To bow before my zoftig Queen." I'll never look at CF the same way again! Love it man!... read more »

Applying Flattened CSS To XHTML For Use In Remote Environments
Posted on Jan 6, 2011 at 11:38 AM
@Ben - yeah, actually I jumped the gun a little (didn't test well enough, cuz I hadn't done much HTML cfmail stuff before). Then, people complained it didn't look good in GMail and Outlook. So, I researched and saw this, http://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/ , which shows that a lot of CSS isn't supp... read more »

Experimenting With Flat-File ColdFusion CFML Caching
Posted on Dec 8, 2008 at 3:48 AM
I've found cf_accelerate to work very well under high load (in a lab with intense load testing, not in the real world), and could be easily modified to write to disk or database. Brandon Purcell already worked out a lot of the performance issues with where to put the data in CF structures, and so i... read more »

Never Be Conflicted About Being Nice
Posted on Mar 11, 2008 at 9:57 AM
@Ben, Nice compliment #1. You're so nice, and that's why you're so great! Nice compliment #2. You know, Ben, every morning I come in to work, and if my boss (who sits right next to me) isn't in yet, I feel I have a bit of time to run through all the CF blog posts via ColdFusionBloggers.org (it's... read more »

Custom User Agents For ColdFusion Debugging
Posted on Mar 7, 2008 at 10:08 AM
[tongue in cheek] Cool! Now all I have to do is use your FF trick and surf your site to see what you're debugging at the moment. (you didn't really use "(DEVELOPER)", did you dude? ;-) In the past, I worked in a system where we had a secret, IP-restricted developer-only login area (de-coupled fr... read more »

Paginating Record Sets In ColdFusion With One SQL Server Call
Posted on Oct 11, 2007 at 1:32 PM
Interesting way of tackling the problems. But it's just not nearly as efficient as doing it with a sproc: With *heavy* inspiration from http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/06/11/sql-server-2005-t-sql-paging-query-technique-comparison-over-and-row_number-cte-vs-derived-table/ and http://www.robgon... read more »

Convert jQuery XML Documentation To HTML / PDF Using ColdFusion And XSLT
Posted on Sep 20, 2007 at 10:06 AM
Keep it up! Another thorough, real-world example. Though I haven't done a ton of XSLT, in the real-world work I've done with it, using XmlTransform with XSLT has always out-performed nasty structure and array looping, etc. Do you find the same to be true with the performance of ths XSLT example... read more »

Stripping XML Name Spaces And Node Prefixes From ColdFusion XML Data (To Simplify XPath)

@Ben - Yes, I noticed your XSLT Intro post today during my morning blog reading, and you did an excellent job explaining to newbies and vets alike. The beauty of it once it's starts to click is a wonderful thing. Thanks for all your continuing efforts for the CF community! (I still want to know ... read more »
