I have decided to get rid of my Snippets and Portfolio sections. I never put anything into the portfolio and I pretty much stopped maintaining my snippets. I found, instead, that I put most of my code snippets directly into my blog entries. Now, instead of putting little bits of code into snippets, I will only maintain several larger projects in this section.
The CFHttpSession.cfc is a ColdFusion component that wraps around multiple CFHttp requests in such a way that cookie and session information is maintained from request to request. This allows you to use this ColdFusion component to log into remote systems and grab content that is behind a layer of security.
The CSSRule.cfc is a ColdFusion component that can parse and model CSS using ColdFusion. I love CSS; I think it's like the most awesome, straightforward way to describe formatting of rendered boxes. As such, I wanted to use it in more of my projects. However, in order to do this, I needed to come up with a way to parse and maintain the CSS model programmatically inside of ColdFusion.
The Kinky Calendar System is a totally free ColdFusion calendar system that was designed, not as a stand-alone application, but rather as a module that could be easily integrated into an existing piece of ColdFusion software. Using only two database tables and extremely simple queries, this system should work on just about any database application, event the dreaded Microsoft Access.
Kinky eCards is a totally free ColdFusion based eCards application. It does not require a database. Each item of eCard data is stored in an XML document that is securely encrypted.
The Kinky File Explorer is a totally free ColdFusion based file exploration system designed to provide read-only access to a specific directory of files. The idea here is that you can provide users with an easy way to view your project codebase without having to worry about them snooping around.
The POI Utility is a ColdFusion component and set of ColdFusion custom tags that helps you read and write native Microsoft Excel files. While reading Excel files is nice, the ColdFusion custom tags provide a powerful way for users to create richly formatted reports.
