  What happens with all the extra JS and CSS that comes with a WriteDump? When you view-source with a WriteDump in a page there's a whole heap of extra stuff added in.... read more »

• Converting A Byte Array Into A Bit Stream Using ColdFusion And BigInteger

  Posted on Sep 25, 2014 at 8:43 AM

  When you say "signed-bit" that's confusing me - generally I know the bit that signs a byte as a "sign bit" or "signing bit", and then the byte itself can be a "signed byte" I'm not trying to be pedantic - but can you actually "sign" a bit - isn't it... read more »

• My Experience With AngularJS - The Super-heroic JavaScript MVW Framework

  Posted on Sep 13, 2013 at 12:39 PM

  I always refer to this blog post when I'm explaining AngularJS to people, and I wave my hand in the air to explain your "feelings about angularjs" graph. I think I've just hit the "OMG That's Awesome!" stage. It's a good day for me and AngularJS, and more specifically directives... read more »

  Posted on Jan 19, 2013 at 12:35 PM

  @Ben, Sorry for the slow reply, regarding mobile, I'm using it with Phonegap for an iOS app. Everything I've built and run in Chrome is working well, it's a little slow on my iPhone but to be honest I think that's more to do with jQuery mobile. The more I work on it the more I drop jQM and the ap... read more »

• My Experience With AngularJS - The Super-heroic JavaScript MVW Framework

  Posted on Jan 7, 2013 at 4:47 AM

  The graph is exactly how I felt Ben! Or still do feel. I thought Angular was amazing, then realised it made life much harder, then realised I just had to adapt the way I was working (how I was using jQuery basically)... and now I've dropped a load of code and practices and replaced then with Anglua... read more »

• Getting Contact, Photos, And Social Media Information Using FullContact.com And An Email Address

  Posted on Oct 13, 2011 at 3:54 AM

  That's seems a little bit stalker like and scary... although entirely understandable. It's all publicly available though.

  Posted on Oct 8, 2011 at 3:20 AM

  Once again Ben, this is brilliant. I've been thinking recently, I want to go back and experience the buzz of when I first met my partner, maybe treating her like I've just met her again will do that, especially coupled with my overwhelming love for. I'm going to go make her breakfast in bed.... read more »

  Posted on Sep 27, 2011 at 11:49 AM

  "The challenge of life is to unlock the wisdom that you already have within you." That is a fantastic quote. I will be quoting that at people for years to come - and giving you due credit.
