Almost time for Scotch


Aye, what happened to my blog header? I must have messed it up by sheer neglect.
I’m getting pretty excited for Scotch On The Rocks. It should be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to meeting all the cool folk who are going. I’ve just had a good look at the agenda and I’m [...]

Free 2nd Shirt, thanks Twitter!


As if you didn’t know already, Twitter is cool as. I could just throw out the TV and watch Twitter.
This ‘free T-Shirt’ twittering came my way from LaFraise. So I’m just spreading the word a little, and trying out their affiliate system. I’m not usually in to that kind of thing, but hey some of [...]

File under random/drunk/miscellaneous


So my new Macbook Pro arrived about 4 days ago. I still haven’t opened it, I’m savouring the moment. Oh I’m such a tease.
Stop, badge time…

ColdFace ‘08


Here’s a quick update about my little ColdFusion/Facebook framework. It’s burning up all of my spare time and I could probably rabbit on about it all year, it’s been fun. I’m definitely no natural at blogging, but I do want to get the word out on this one, so here goes a wee news update;

This is not a new CFIDEa…


So somewhere there’s a war raging about ColdFusion IDE’s.

CreateTimeSpan() is special :)


Recently I was looking to store a ‘timespan’ in a config or ‘ini’ file. To store a truly configurable timespan I’d have to use a list (ie; cacheTime=0,0,2,0) and then programmatically split it up for use in the CreateTimeSpan function.
The ColdFusion docs say CreateTimeSpan returns a ’special’ date-time object.

Album Of The Month - Sep 07


Doh! I’ve already fallen behind in my AOTM posts. I can’t let this die so soon. In September I didn’t listen to much music. So instead we have…

Nintendo Wii
Super Paper Mario
Not an album, you say? I make the rules here. The game has music (although it’s mostly horrible) and I have blogging obligations, so it [...]

Facebook Test Accounts


Here’s something, we can now create Facebook test accounts. This is useful for developing and testing your apps without spamming your feeds, profile, friends and so on. Take heed there are some restrictions and guidelines to be considered. Basically test accounts should not communicate with real people and vica versa.
Hey, if you get a test [...]

Updated: Coldface Example App


Tonight I’ve updated the Coldface Example App.
The example application now includes a bunch of tests and examples. It tests all known Facebook REST methods, including photo uploads (which I’ve only just mastered). It’d be great if someone, anyone, could try it out.
And a while back I started the Coldface Wiki.
