360Coldfusion, very interesting
Tom and I thought about doing a CF conference, after I think 360|Flex Seattle. The reason we never went forward with the ideas was CFUnited and CF.Objective().
I’ve thougt CFUnited was over priced and didn’t really offer enough to be worth the price, since I attended in 2005. I’ve never attended CF.Objective(), since by the time it got started up, I was moving into Flex development, but since it bills itself as the Enterprise CF Conference, I found it odd that it was dribbling extra technologies, moving away from CF.
Time Management SQL Script
Hope everyone had a good Turkey Day.
I finished the SQL for the TMC. Creates the tables and stored procs and creates an admin user.
Don’t be shy to ask questions.

Flex Project… Go!!
I was talking to a friend and he was saying he’s starting a flex project of his own. Get a more concrete grasp on the technology. Makes sense to me. While I wait for Roundpeg to land some Flex work I can do I figure I should experiment on my own.
So starting next week I [...]
Zip proximity search
Gotta love the internet and the fates, those sly greek chicas.
A few days ago I came across some one’s blog posting about his articles in the Oct CFDJ. I can’t remember where I saw that, but I did download the PDF version. I didn’t read it at that time, but I scanned the cover.

CSS
I’ve never been a big fan of CSS. No real reason, it just seemed like such a PITA. And it is really, let’s be honest.
BUT
I’m working on a site for a client and they want it mostly CSS. More search engine friendly and all. I know enough CSS to fill a shot glass. Prefer other [...]
Search Engine Friendliness
A client of my client recently had me make their site Search Engine friendly. Was quite an interesting project. I had never really looked into SEO, and SES stuff before. Gave me a chance to get a little insight into how the search engines work in relation to dynamic sites.
We used <cf_fake_url> to accomplish the [...]
CF AJAX
Stumbled across this on the listservs. CF_AJAX (or CFAJAX) brings the coolness and buzzwordiness of AJAX (think Googlemaps, Gmail) to CF. I haven’t explored much yet, been pretty busy with work that pays money :) but I’m thinking AJAX wouls be a cool addition to my TIme and billing app. It looks pretty damn cool. [...]
Time Management & Invoicing
Long ago in a galaxy far, far away I worked on a project for an employer. They wanted some way for us developers (and eventually QA, and such) to track our time. The reason was two fold; see what we were spending our time on, and capitalize any new development in order to manage costs.
Well [...]
My version of Captcha
Rob Brooks Bilson has an interesting post on how CFX_captcha is (or was at the time of his post) is proving to be tough to beat.
For those (are there any) that don’t know, captcha systems are those annoying little things that ask us to type in some random string of letters and numbers.
As Rob points [...]
