  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 "He... 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... read more »

• Thoughts About XDOM For Easier ColdFusion XML Manipulation

  Posted on Nov 16, 2010 at 4:31 PM

  One thing that would make this really sexy (Though might not be what you're going for). Would be to have a selector translation, so you could enter a CSS3 selector, like "women woman[ishot=true]".. and have it translated into Xpath, and do the selection. The first thing that comes... 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 »

  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... 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 i... read more »

• 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... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 9: Using CFQuery In CFScript Can Enable SQL Injection Attacks

  Posted on Aug 7, 2009 at 6:28 PM

  @Adam, I had looked at transfer, and actually already build a much more simplified DB handler before I'd heard of it. I was just commenting on how for complex queries in a past project this would have been a perfect fit, and may still be for those who don't want to wrap their head around so... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 9: Using CFQuery In CFScript Can Enable SQL Injection Attacks

  Posted on Aug 7, 2009 at 3:12 PM

  It just dawned on me the power that could be used by keeping you SQL, and your params separate.. (Partially cause I ran into this recently.) Having params like :Varname, mean you can have a central store for your SQL (either Object-wide, Application-wide, or.. dare I say, DB server specific... read more »

  @Matt, No Problem, I realized after you challenged my answer that I should have been more clear on what problem I was solving. Because it's not a stretch to assuming I was speaking generally, and your response was absolutely correct. Next time I'll be sure to make better reference to... read more »
