• The Sexiest Thing A Woman Can Say In An Elevator

  Posted on Jul 5, 2011 at 10:09 PM

  P.P.S Pardon any implied tone the "I don't know if you're that good at picking up guys." Was meant to be humorously ironic, and not like critical.... read more »

• The Sexiest Thing A Woman Can Say In An Elevator

  Wow, you're an amazing CF coder, but I don't know if you're that good at picking up guys. That line wouldn't work on me. Though I might think it's cute the girl is trying to chat, it sounds a bit dorky. I really think the best line would just be a genuine look of interest and "Hello, who are ... read more »

  Posted on Jun 20, 2011 at 1:55 PM

  How would you say this compares to Pusher? ( http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1970-Pusher-cfc-ColdFusion-Component-For-Realtime-Notification-With-HTML5-WebSockets.htm ) I'm really liking the idea of sending push notifications to the browser.. I just need an excuse to build an app that would use these... read more »

• Creating A CFThread-Based Process In ColdFusion In Order To Learn About Concurrency

  Posted on Dec 23, 2010 at 1:31 PM

  This reminds me of a utility I had created once. not nearly complex, but was trying to accomplish the same thing, where I would actually render a main page, and use ajax requests to spawn multiple processes, and each process would update it's status in a session var, and I had a ping ajax request th... read more »

• Communicating With The Client Whilst Inside A ColdFusion Custom Tag

  Posted on Sep 28, 2010 at 7:58 AM

  The way I've done this in the past was having the process constantly updating a session variable. Something like Session.ProcessStatus["UID"].message, then just use ajax to poll a simple page that returned that status variable.... read more »

• From Windows To Mac - A Roller-Coaster Of Emotions

  Posted on Sep 4, 2010 at 5:58 PM

  I'm curious how you're getting on with CFbuilder now that it's been a while. I am a very stubborn HomeSite+ user, and can't quite bring myself to move to CFB. I do though keep having this nagging feeling like I'm missing out on something, or being left behind. Any tips (or posts ;) on either why CFB... read more »

• Enable And Disable jQuery Event Handlers (Rather Than Bind And Unbind)

  Posted on Dec 5, 2009 at 11:16 PM

  I'm not sure I totally agree with you on this. Though maybe it's just the specific example. In the example above, I think it make more logical sense to make the callback smart enough to not hide an invisible element, and not have a proxy that needs to add in an extra step to figure out if it should... read more »

• jQuery Powered Mine Sweeper Game

• jQuery Powered Mine Sweeper Game

  Posted on Oct 28, 2009 at 8:55 AM

  That is very cool. Only one feature is missing. (If you care to add it). I heard that the original MineSweeper has logic built in to always leave the bottom right corner free, and if the first click is on a mine, it moves the mine to that corner. Thus preventing any one click losses. Though, I'm su... read more »

  Noooooooooooooo!! I mean... Shoot. I still haven't been moved from Homesite+ 5.5. I didn't like Dreamweaver, and I missed too much when I was using Eclipse. I always knew in the back of my mind it was dead, but I still love it so. I really, really hope Bolt is all it's cracked up to be. I've alway... read more »

• Contextual CSS Is Good When You Know Everything About Your Content

  Posted on May 27, 2009 at 8:22 PM

  Maybe this is a no no, but for me, when I want more intelligence in my CSS, I use some jQuery helpers. Obviously I have a base style sheet that covers 90% of what I'm after. (Maybe more like 99%.) But for that 1% where I need something specific, and I don't want to hope it works cross browser I: $('... read more »

• CFM Templates And Remote CFCs - They're All Just ColdFusion Page Requests

  Posted on May 19, 2009 at 4:03 PM

  @Ben, The "Pain" for me was MVC. ColdBox kinda forces me to code that way. That and layout management, coming from FuseBox my apps feel naked without layout wrappers like I'm used to.... read more »

  Posted on May 19, 2009 at 3:08 PM

  @Ben, Let me first say, I appreciate what you are doing. I really think it's great how you'd like to code "All natural". I'm a big fan of keeping as much control as possible, and letting the language do what it was designed to do. (Rather then pump everything through a framework.) But yet, at the ... read more »
