That's why I decided to remove mySQL as my project database and ... [More]

More iOS Games from Terry Paton (video) - Terry Paton sent me a couple of more games built for the iPad so I recorded another video of them. This time I explain a little more about how they were created. But basically the performance improvements come from the great work done for the upcoming AIR 2.7 release. You cannot yet try it out [...]

clojure.java.jdbc - As folks have no doubt realized, I'm using Clojure more and more these days and just embarked on a project at work to replace the CFML-based ORM "Reactor" in our codebase with a much more lightweight ORM written in Clojure (enclosed in a lightweight CFML wrapper). While I've been sketching out the code for that, I've been using the clojure.contrib.sql library, one of a fairly large selection of somewhat ad hoc utilities contributed over the last several years by various Clojure community members. As part of the 1.3.0 release of Clojure, currently in development, the Clojure/core team have decided an

flex formatter - Note for myself. good for a little quick cleanup. http://sourceforge.net/projects/flexformatter/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/flexformatter/files/ I use this jsut for a quick cleanup of a file, if i download it, or find source code online I want to use… its a nice quick way to get the code fairly readable to my eyes. use Import (2) and copy and [...]

cf.Objective(): I'll be there, and I'll be busy with 4 sessions - I've gotten word from the folks running the cf.Objective() conference that besides the 2 talks I'm giving, they've also recently accepted my proposals for a BOF (birds of a feather) session and a slot in their lightning talk session. Phew! I'll be busy. Here are the details. First are the two talks: Pinpointing and Resolving ColdFusion Performance Issues (see the link for details on the topic) More Hidden Gems in CFBuilder and CFBuilder 2 (see the link for details on the topic) (I had put in just the first talk originally, and then a few weeks ago a slot opened

BabelFX for localization of Flex applications - One of the most useful sessions I attended at 360Flex was Rob Rusher’s session on localization of Flex applications. All the sessions were great but this one applied directly to a project I’m working on. In the session Rob gave an overview of the BabelFX framework and explained how to get it set up and [...]

Video: High-speed mountain climbing - I share this not just because of the inordinate badassery of speed climber Ueli Steck, but to showcase the filmmakers‘ amazing visual storytelling (full-screen HD recommended, naturally). If you’re short on time, make sure to jump ahead & at least see him running up that mountain (Kate Bush-style). [Via]

As The Content Turns: Orbital Content - There has been plenty of talk about online content curation as a way to make sense of the information overload by relying on people we trust to point us at items worthy of our attention. Cameron Koczon takes this notion a step or two further, toward “content shifting” where users disassociate what we find to [...]

ColdFusion Quickie: Splitting data into columns - This is something I've done many times in the past, but I thought I'd whip up a quick example and share it.

Blind Tasters Can’t Tell Cheap Wines From Expensive Yep, that would be me.  I like [...]
