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

Posted on Apr 4, 2011 at 1:09 PM

Maybe it's organization. I get ready in about 15 min, but then look for my keys, sun glasses and wallet for about 45min. Maybe I need a man purse so I always have them together.... read more »
From Windows To Mac - A Roller-Coaster Of Emotions

Posted on Aug 6, 2010 at 11:21 AM

@Ben: It is weird I think it's more to do with the Coldfusion installer. The Windows CF installer is much better. They have made better strives with the Mac installers as we go ( CF 9 worked very well ). I think putting it in Applications has more to do with being on a "MAC". If you use the bui... read more »

@Ben: You will, I have faith :) It has just been worth it every time I have purchased it. I didn't buy the extended warranty on my TV, but I like walking into the Apple Store when I have an issue and getting the "No problem be fixed in a couple hours". :) I am impressed you got it all to work wit... read more »

I think you'll have fun with your Mac it took me about a week back in the day before I really loved it. My 2 Cents. 1. Transmit for ftp is worth every penny. 2. Smultron is fantastic for quick file edits. 3. I might get flamed for this but I had to buy MS Office. Open Office just was too incompara... read more »

Your blog is always awesome. I am working on tiling images for zoomify and my math wasn't working out. Why? I started with 1,1 for my grid. Thanks for the help :)... read more »

Yeah i have noticed that also. The tech guy deleted the partition on our production server the other week. We lost about a day of info and it upset our customers pretty badly. We asked them to help tune our CF server and they set the JVM to 32 MEG lol. When we questioned it they got a more senio... read more »

I will have to say I didn't have great luck on the VPS. It was a huge pain. My VPS was never setup correctly so I just dumped that idea. I spent a huge amount of time and it never really "worked". One of my friends uses the VPS though and hasn't had many problems. We do have 3 Dedicated servers w... read more »
Ben Nadel's Easy Tips For Writing Better, More Optimized SQL

Posted on Mar 28, 2008 at 9:33 AM

@Jeffrey Take this with a grain of salt since I work with mostly mySQL 4.1 and before. I have had extensive experience with Oracle and MSSQL servers and programs :). I don't really see what stored procedures gain you. Much like the "you need indexes everywhere" it's not always the case. The pro... read more »

@Tony I couldn't agree more. That's how I use the 1 = 1 or if I want to fail the query 1 = 2. And Actually that should be on the list. Start conditional Where's with 1 = 1 :)... read more »

@Nathan MySQL 4.1 seems to speed up the queries if you put the where in the join on large tables. At least in my experience. MySQL 5 doesn't seem to care either way.... read more »
Ben Nadel's Easy Tips For Writing Better, More Optimized SQL

Posted on Mar 27, 2008 at 1:55 PM

If you have no options in the where clause the database should cache the query plan anyway. Shouldn't it? If we are just talking about t.status = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_char" value="A"> then that makes more sense to me then just using it in a where 1 = 1 situation,... read more »

Don't Use Select * should be the number one rule for all programmers in any language that interacts with databases. :) <CFQUERYPARAM> is a little tricky as some older versions of databases don't support the performance gains, but they are still a good idea to help guard against SQL-inject... read more »

Great post as always. We have a project where I generating hundreds of Barcode Labels. We using iText with Barbcue. Since we are using a thermal label printer it's a little easier on the spacing.
