I had a cftextarea with richtext enabled and I had another dropdown which was supposed to change the value of the cftextarea when selected. So, I was doing it the old way as I would have imagined. More »
I have just released an update to coldfusiondocs.com . As the title says, I have added Railo support to the documentation, so now you get a new tab for Railo tags and functions and just like before, you can search and view the documentation.
I think it makes sense to add this as part of the documentaiton. As always, any feedback is more than welcome.
It has been snowing heavily today here in the UK. I went to work in the morning and had to come back half way as most of the trains were cancelled.
This is how my back garden is looking at the moment.

So, after being a MAC user for over 6 months, I finally decided to brush up my Mac skills . Till now, I have only been using some basic things like Firefox, Safari, iTunes, Eclipse, CF, SVN, and other basic stuff. Now, I want to go one step ahead and dive into the real power of Mac. Probably try and get used to the Terminal window.
Which is why, I just ordered this book : Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual . I have read the book’s reviews and it looks like a good book for beginners/switchers like me. Anyone already read this book and can give me a heads up?

I just finished reading the Learning Dojo book, authored by Peter Svensson and published by Packt Publishing . They sent me a free review copy of the book and this is a personal and independent review of the book. More »
Red-Gate software are giving away a free eBook “Mastering SQL Server 2005 Profiler”. I have just downloaded it and some of the topics could be quite useful as a developer. Especially the ones under “How Profiler can help Developers”.
I just thought I would blog about it so anyone else interested can download as well.
I normally don’t take up such tasks, but I was recently tasked to migrate an old Wordpress installation to a new server and a new version. This sounded like a pretty simple task to do, so I took it up. Upload the files, export data from the old one, import into new one and thats it! Well, thats what I thought until I found out that the new server was not running Apache. Instead, it was running Zeus webserver. Wordpress uses .htaccess (mod_rewrite module) to build pretty looking URL’s (without the index.php in the URL) and unfortunately, just copying the Apache .htacess to a Zeus webserver won’t work. Took me over an hour to figure that out! More »
I know this is an easy one for most of you out there but not so easy for me! I am a relatively new Mac user and everytime I want to make some changes to my Apache configuration file, I open Finder and go to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf , open it with TextEdit or TextWrangler and make changes and thats when I get the message “httpd.conf cant be saved as you dont have access” . Damn! More »
I have used several Javascript libraries in the past (including ExtJS, jQuery etc) and they are all pretty good in what they do. Recently, I got a chance to look into the Dojo AJAX JavaScript Toolkit and from the looks of it, it appears to be a promising and impressive toolkit. Here is a little bit of what Dojo is :- More »
This post is just to say Happy New Year 2009 to everyone. I know I have been completely inactive here for over 2 months now but that’s because of several reasons. I had a good 4 weeks holiday (much needed holiday) and I am now back to routine looking for some new consulting assignments. I am hoping once the holiday season is over, I will be abe to get hold of something and be active in blogging once again.
Happy New Year once again!
