Ok, some help needed here: I have a brand new Mac Pro at work; Running the latest and greatest version of OSX with all the security updates etc. So I need to install CF locally, and have already installed MAMP.
MAMP I got working with no problems, and running on the default ports for MySQL + Apache. Installed CF8, 64bit edition, and when installing, did the single server instance. I can't …

I was initially skeptical about Ning - whose claims of being able to create your own social network without programming knowledge seemed a bit optimistic. I take it all back. I finally got around to creating a network for a project which I was consulting on, and I'm really impressed. I think I got the whole thing up and running in about 6 minutes. Obviously, that's without much in the way of …

Ray's post on ColdFusion Certifications is pretty spot on: The one problem, on top of those outlined by Ray, that I've had over the years, is that very few certification courses have a decent break down on what exactly they expect you know. Combined with the fact that there are so many features in CF which I'll never need to touch, like exchange integration etc (well, not yet at least) that I …

Pleasingly, a customtag library I've been using has had an update: Uni-Form XHTML Forms See here
I hate styling forms. This really has made my life easier (and when you write your own CMS systems as I do, there's a *lot* of forms)...

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 …

After having the code outlined in my previous post deployed for a while, I thought I'd share some points which have come up. The form is still working (for me at least!) - the only odd behaviour I got at first was this - which I got from the error handling in my applicaton: 14-11-07 : 19:55 - "{ts" is an invalid date or time string. What was happening here? I started logging ALL the form …

Web developers all over the world are constantly fighting form spam; there are lots of techniques, some good, some bad; most of them unfortunately involve looking at a graphic of some sort and then entering a series of numbers or digits to proceed with the form submission (a CAPTCHA). This is obviously completely useless if you're someone who can't see the screen, or are using an assisted …

flickr
Lots of good work has been done on the Flickr API with ColdFusion already: specifically, CFlickr - see http://chris.m0nk3y.net/projects/CFlickr/ . However, for my uses, I didn't need anything near as complicated: All I wanted to do was to pull a list of photosets, their titles, primary thumbnail and description. Thankfully, this is quite easy due to the Flickr API. Part One: Making the request …
