• Making SOAP Web Service Requests With ColdFusion And CFHTTP

  Posted on Jul 6, 2012 at 1:54 PM

  From your post: "Assuming that the response was formed well (valid XML) and that the target server was available, your SOAP request should always come back with a 200 response code, regardless of its execution success; any errors within the API request will be defined in the result nodes of... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 9: From SQL To ORM - A Conceptual Shift In Relationships

  Posted on Aug 3, 2009 at 5:03 PM

  @Brain, I can see your point. I use CFCs for my DB interactions as well, but reviewing Ben's example code again, it still appears that the amount of code was increased. One problem with my "118 lines of CFC code" statement is that it included the CFC for the company, which was not in the... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 9: From SQL To ORM - A Conceptual Shift In Relationships

  Posted on Aug 3, 2009 at 3:09 PM

  One thing that strikes is how you went from a 13 line SQL statement (adding 2 lines for the cfquery tags) to 118 lines of CFC code. Granted, some of your readers have pointed out that you may have taken the wrong direction with your ORM implementation, so maybe it could have been done in a few l... read more »

  Yeah, good point, boolean logic is easier with 1-based indexing.... read more »

• ColdFusion REFind() Cannot Find The Empty String

  Posted on Dec 16, 2008 at 2:33 PM

  Ben, You're too good looking to be talking about such nerdy topics. You should be wearing glasses with tape on them, a button down shirt with a pocket protector, etc. :) But seriously, this is just more fuel for the "CF should have 0-based indexing" fire. It has always bothered me... read more »

• Extending Encrypted ColdFusion Application.cfm Functionality

  Posted on Aug 15, 2008 at 3:24 PM

  Very clever! I'm going to use this trick next time my wife is mad because I wasn't paying attention: "I wasn't ignoring you, honey! I was just cfincluding your conversation, which allows me to do what I'm working on now while still taking in your most excellent and awe inspiring wisdom."<... read more »

• The Business Of Making Love

  Posted on Jul 27, 2008 at 6:50 PM

  I really like your end of day chat idea. I'd just have three bits of feedback: 1. Be patient. Like you said, we aren't perfect, so give eachother time to improve. Depending on the behavior in question, it can take anywhere from a few days to years to change. 2. Don't let this night... read more »

• iPhone 3G - One Week Review Of The Apple iPhone 3G Black 16 Gig Model

  Posted on Jul 27, 2008 at 5:39 PM

  @Sean, re: fanboys, Probably true. My personal definition of a fanboy is someone that loves a company or product so much, that they refuse to accept that their favorite products have flaws. And they try to hide those flaws in conversations about the products by defending the product with... read more »

• iPhone 3G - One Week Review Of The Apple iPhone 3G Black 16 Gig Model

  Posted on Jul 26, 2008 at 2:13 AM

  Something I've come to realize lately (and your post confirms it even more) is that while Apple excels at making pretty hardware, and succesfully marketing their products, they generally can't create quality software. If you ignore the Apple fanboy zealots, and read honest reviews like yours, yo... read more »

• Negative CSS Margins Are Not Cool

  Posted on Mar 5, 2008 at 9:06 PM

  Some good comments. The only time I've used negative margins are when I couldn't get one of the major browsers to behave the same way as the others. But I am very far from a CSS expert, so I'm sure there are better ways to solve the problem...... read more »

• DNA Based Dating Service

  Posted on Dec 17, 2007 at 3:00 PM

  @Todd, The problem with Gattaca was the totalitarian attitudes. It's one thing to pick your child based on desired DNA, but it's another thing to build your entire society around DNA rules, creating outcasts in the process. I can see a small version of that happening, similar to how child... read more »

• FAQu Volume II, Issue II Is Totally Flextasic

  Posted on Dec 3, 2007 at 2:15 PM

  Judith, No, I'm sure the content quality was great, as usual. Now that FAQu is the only CF magazine left, I hope you guys take a much stronger ColdFusion focus in future issues. But it's your magazine, you run it how you like. :)... read more »

• FAQu Volume II, Issue II Is Totally Flextasic

  Posted on Nov 21, 2007 at 1:43 PM

  For the specific applications you mentioned, I don't really have a problem with it, Brian. But there are some Flex fanatics that are moving beyond that. For example, there are a few bloggers that have converted their entire blog to Flex. This is a bit much, in my opinion, but to each his own.... read more »

• FAQu Volume II, Issue II Is Totally Flextasic

  Posted on Nov 21, 2007 at 12:34 PM

  Certainly, if it's outside of the browser, like an AIR app, I have no problem with it. It will be interesting to see how far Flex goes, as far as market share. Right now it seems pretty popular, but I haven't exactly seen it taking over the web. I wonder how many web developers are using... read more »

  Posted on Nov 21, 2007 at 12:21 PM

  Exactly. The back button, the mouse scroll wheel, browser plugins, search engines, these are all problems with Flash interfaces. I am not a Flex developer, obviously, so there my be fixes for the above mentioned problems, but these are things that deter me from using Flex.... read more »
