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 [...]

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…

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;
Release [...]

So somewhere there’s a war raging about ColdFusion IDE’s.
I use both Dreamweaver and Eclipse split about 50/50. IMO both are missing features and could do with more work done on them. However I can use both proficiently and the ColdFusion IDE war is not a huge deal for me. I am not a designer so [...]

‘More stuff I’m not allowed to chew on’

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.

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 [...]

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.

Okay this is it… I’m working on a little project called ‘ColdFace’. There I said it. Now I have to make it happen or look like a doofus for talking it up.
Thanks to BiteMan and Edifier for (both) suggesting the name ColdFace. I had another in mind and I might still change it. Because I [...]

The fact that GoDaddy disable the ColdFusion CreateOject function is a real pain. I’ve previously blogged about it, as have a number of others. Scott Pinkston does a good summary of how to code around it.
It continues to annoy people who then vent about it on Sean’s lengthy CF GoDaddy blog entry. And fair enough [...]
