• Creating A JavaScript Shim For Array Unshift() Method

  Posted on Dec 23, 2011 at 11:06 AM

  Javascript.... JAVASCRIPT?!?! Get back to the good stuff Ben! You're Nadel; King of the Cold(Fusion). What's with all this JS quackery? (Ok, ok, I realize that as an application developer, you're getting into an area that's new and exciting for you, and it only makes sense tha... read more »

• Scalable And Modular Architecture For CSS (SMACSS) By Jon Snook

  Posted on Dec 12, 2011 at 1:14 PM

  What's kind of funny here is that CSS has always been traditionally "desginer-friendly". And this is the second recent article I've seen where a developer-centric mind tries to "develop-ize" CSS. The previous article I saw talked about OOCSS (Object-oriented Cascading S... read more »

• ColdFusion ORM: A Guide To Developing Applications Using ColdFusion ORM By John Whish

  Posted on Nov 3, 2011 at 6:19 PM

  @John- I appreciate the link, however the preview just provides prefaces, special thanks and a table of contents; there's no actual content or writing style to evaluate. I may just take the plunge. I really want a firm understanding of ORM, and after skimming through the topics in th... read more »

• ColdFusion ORM: A Guide To Developing Applications Using ColdFusion ORM By John Whish

  Posted on Nov 2, 2011 at 6:09 PM

  I'm working on my website at home in CF9, and am very interested in taking full advantage of ORM and Hibernate, however, he doesn't seem to offer a free chapter or even some sample pages.... read more »

• The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die By John Izzo

  Posted on Oct 31, 2011 at 1:54 PM

  @WebManWalking- A lot of people have recommended meditation to me as "Step 1". Sitting somewhere and doing nothing for any amount of time sounds overwhelmingly unproductive to me (but that's my inner always-on voice saying that). In reality, taking some time for myself woul... read more »

• The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die By John Izzo

  Posted on Oct 31, 2011 at 12:14 PM

  I can't do any of this "soul searching". I have, for lack of better wording, an over-active and worrisome mindset that has me constantly wonder "what if" and "how come" 24/7. It is subconsciously controlled so I've found no way to shut it off outside of druggi... read more »

• How I Got Started In ColdFusion

  Posted on Aug 2, 2011 at 11:07 AM

  I started with CFMX. I love CF not only for how easy it is to use and powerful it has been, but because it's seemingly the hated underdog of web application languages. I like rooting for the underdog. :) As it stands now, the cost for deployment is about the 1 major downside to CF; b... read more »

• ColdFusion Scope Existence During Various Request Types And Events

  Posted on May 18, 2011 at 1:24 PM

  For the life of me, using CF8 at work, the Request Scope simply IS NOT available when I am calling a CFC via AJAX. I've had to jerry-rig by having the Calling page send a variable which is the Request-scope variable I want to maintain all the way through the AJAX call and back. I really ha... read more »

• Man Down: Proof Beyond A Reasonable Doubt That Women Are Better At Everything By Dan Abrams

  Posted on Apr 28, 2011 at 6:05 PM

  There was a time when the public was invited to have a sitdown and talk with a local Sheriff about an incident where a man whom they had responded to came at an officer with a weapon, was fired upon, and died from his injuries. The gross belief was that the public thought that officers were... read more »

  For me, if she kicks, screams, punches, slaps, it's all reason to get away or just restrain her. The moment she picks up a weapon she will be punched and, if I'm carrying, shot. The difference between the latter is that she's now threatening your life with lethal force.... read more »

  @Anna, Thanks for the good advice, it seems very sound. I'm glad to hear you could pull yourself out of that bad place on your own steam; that's very commendable and takes a lot of willpower. @Randall, Anna put it perfectly, but I want to add one thing. The ONLY time you shoul... read more »

  @Randall, lol. Getting laid (casual sex for the sake of sex and not love) doesn't interest me. Not sure if I put off the wrong vibe, but I wasn't looking for any pity. I'm really not that interested in attracting anyone at the moment; I'm more focused on my career for the time being. I... read more »

  @Smith Samal, No problem, if you're "COUNSELING" me on just feedback, then I see neither of us are taking anything personally, and that's the best way, IMO, to address this. We're just giving perspective to each other, I can respect that. I agree with you that there is litt... read more »

  @Anna, I don't ever find it helpful for me to berate a woman if she asks me a question over and over. I'll pry to find out why it's of such importance to her, but personally I would never scold or berate her for an inquisition. Sometimes, guys do jump quickly to aggravation rather than pu... read more »

  @Smita Samal, You're taking my text TOO literally. I wasn't speaking for all women. Technically, I can't even speak for one. Try not to read my response with the notion or belief that I'm saying "all women" in front of each remark. Of course all women are different, it would b... read more »

  Posted on Apr 25, 2011 at 6:08 PM

  @Smita, Women are chatty chatty chatty. And it's not a bad thing, kittens are just very social creatures, so it's almost natural that they have a very active mental pattern. I can't speak for all men, but when I say I literally have nothing on my mind, I pretty much mean that; and it's not... read more »

  There are more and more beauty products/procedures out there which might account for the "more attractive women" factor. Thing is, it's not...well, natural for men to engage in beautification processes. This doesn't mean you have to be a slob or have poor hygiene, but there's usu... read more »

  @Smita Samal, That sounds like good advice. I suffer from some bouts of perfectionism; I wonder if you're like me, in that we KNOW we're perfectionists, and we KNOW perfection can never be attained, but we try nonetheless in a seemingly cruel carrot-before-the-donkey blind hope. :)read more »
