I've spent *days* trying to figure this out - whilst installing Flexbuilder 3, I'd get continual errors on install, and when trying to run the .exe, I'd get:
java.lang.RuntimeException: No application id has been found and
com.adobe.flexbuilder.standalone.product could not be found. in the log. But a solution has been found!
The problem was that I'm on a domain machine. When you install …

I must confess, I was slightly amused to see this advert on the left on my Facebook profile:

It's bugged me for ages that Photoshop doesn't have native support for ICO files.
Thankfully, there's a free plugin which will let you save as a .ico. See here - http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/

I've been playing with Drupal recently - although I'm primarily a ColdFusion programmer, I find it very interesting to look at other Content Management Systems in other languages. Overall, Drupal is excellent. There are some really well thought out parts. Drupal relies on a set of "core" modules, which in themselves offer a ton of functionality - almost enough for most sites. Almost. The catch …

In part one of this post, I look at the Web Developers Toolbar, an essential firefox addon. This time round, I think it's worth a look at Firebug . Firebug is aimed more at what I would call 'realtime' debugging - it has a definite emphasis on Javascript, DOM manipulation etc. For Mr/Mrs Joe Public, all this is beyond the realms of comprehension, but it does have one particularly useful …

The general public are often mystified by how a webpage actually works. Sure, you could explain HTML, CSS, Javascript and Server side scripting to them, but you'll often be faced with a pair of glazed over eyes and a puzzled expression. Normally, this is a sign you've said a switch off keyword like 'parse', or better still, some seemingly secret code like 'ISAPI'. I find that a good visual aid …

I've been playing with the idea of jailbreaking (that is, hacking to run whatever applications you see fit) on my 16GB ipod for a while now; I did try it a few weeks back, but the whole process was quite inelegant, and didn't 100% work. With the older methods, I used to get a sort of negative screen when the device came out of autolock, and the whole thing became essentially unusable until you …

Well I've finally got round to it - this site now has a shiny new design!
It's much more focused on what I'm actually spending my time doing these days - web work, specifically ColdFusion related coding. I managed to finally move to CF8 in the process, and whilst I'm still ironing out some kinks, everything seems to work so far. The biggest problem I had with the move was a change in MySQL …

If you've not seen the amazing work done Iain Tolhurst & co. down in Reading, now is the time to check them out: http://www.tolhurstorganic.co.uk/ I'm still trying to work out how they do it - farming with no pesticides & no animal manure (hence their "stockfree organic" status) with everything seemingly in balance. On top of it all, he's just about finished building a boat - the Pinky …
