So Mediocre They Can't Ignore Me
Posted on Feb 26, 2019 at 1:23 PM
I'm never impressed with anything I do because when I step back I say: "Heck, I could that". But when I try to teach someone what I'm doing, it's impressive to realize how great the gap is.... read more »

The User Experience (UX) Of Having One Computer Monitor
Posted on May 5, 2014 at 10:18 AM
One monitor. And can we talk about the GMail notifier and all the other notifiers that want to grab your attention? As a matter of fact, I think I saw on "Digital Nation" http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/us/ a Silicon Valley software company where the interviewer a... read more »

Catching CFLock Timeout Errors In ColdFusion

Ben, How do I subscribe to your blog? Right now I have an IFTTT recipe to email me whenever there's a new feed item, but that seems a bit kludgy. And Google Reader has been discontinued.... read more »

Years Later, I Still Love jQuery
Posted on Mar 28, 2014 at 4:14 PM
Just today, I had a user have a problem with my site. Turns out she was using IE7 on a Windows XP machine. Well, I am (was) using jQuery 2.0 with Twitter Bootstrap, but when I downgraded to jQuery 1.11.0, it fixed the problem.... read more »

After 2013, I'm Looking Forward To 2014
Posted on Jan 13, 2014 at 11:41 AM
@Ben, That's interesting that we're talking about taking breaks. I teach a technology class at a private Lutheran university and one of the lessons that I teach my students is to observe the Sabbath. I think God had a good idea when he said not to do any work for 1 day out of 7. I consciously tr... read more »

Keep Overflow Content Scrolling Unresponsive Until Clicked Using jQuery
Posted on Jan 7, 2014 at 4:19 PM
I've been playing with http://datatables.net/ and your blog post gave me an idea. I wrote a quick proof-of-concept that does a SELECT TOP 10 * to display the opening screen very quickly, and then in AJAX, I fill out the "real" table inside a hidden div. When the user clicks anywhere on... read more »

After 2013, I'm Looking Forward To 2014
Posted on Jan 3, 2014 at 5:25 PM
Wow, as I read your post, I just knew there were going to be a lot of replies, and I was looking forward to reading them. How can you ever hear the "Harlem Shake" and not think back on what your friends did for you half-way across the world? You've really opened yourself up. But I think ... read more »

Giving My ColdFusion Components And My JavaScript Components The Same Structure
Posted on Sep 4, 2013 at 2:12 PM
For scoping demonstration purposes only (in other words, the logic doesn't make sense in this example), If I had: component { Variables.X = 1; function Junction(X) { local.X = arguments.X; } } Y = new myComponent().Junction(2); Then I would similarly scope variables in JavaScript like t... read more »

The User Experience (UX) Of Writing Personal Emails For Sales And Marketing
Posted on Aug 28, 2013 at 4:09 PM
I've been working on and off for about a year now trying to make my grading system look personalized. Teachers could really use some help! I was in a meeting before this school year started and one teacher, teaching an online class asked "How do you keep from getting overwhelmed?" The s... read more »

Default Argument Expressions Are Executed Only As-Needed In ColdFusion
Posted on Aug 21, 2013 at 10:18 AM
I wonder how simple the ColdFusion code might actually be. It's a bit like being in awe of how it can execute any SQL command, only to realize that all it's doing is passing the command to SQL, having SQL execute the command and then returning the result. I wonder if ColdFusion is simply a pass-th... read more »

JsonSerializer.cfc - A Data Serialization Utility For ColdFusion
Posted on Aug 7, 2013 at 12:24 PM
Oh! I see! You've got your JavaScript inside of your ColdFusion page. I would have to embed that as a special function because normally I keep all my JavaScript in a separate .js file. I didn't realize that you could put <cfscript> at the top of a component. I was using "component {}... read more »

Referencing ColdFusion Query Columns In A Loop Using Both Array And Dot Notation
Posted on Jun 5, 2013 at 10:16 AM
Hmmm. I've never had to use serializeQueryByColumns before - that's new to me. I put param name="url.returnformat", default="json"; param name="url.queryformat", default="column"; at the top of my function and it converts it to JSON for me. Maybe ... read more »

Referencing ColdFusion Query Columns In A Loop Using Both Array And Dot Notation
Posted on Jun 4, 2013 at 11:06 AM
I think this is a great blog post. I've been programming in ColdFusion for years and have not used the "for ( i = 1" method at all I don't think. That's the preferred method for looping in JavaScript because "for each" is frowned upon. Now, recently, I started a project from s... read more »
