A while back I made an attempt to move Pic of the Day (NSFW) off of ColdFusion 8 and onto Railo 3. I can't afford a license of CF9, so my only upgrade path is through a free alternative. Unless someone has an extra four grand they want to give me….
Last time I was foiled [...]

So today I decided to upgrade to WordPress 2.9.2 (I'd been running 2.7 since forever), and unfortunately it broke K2, which is the theme I've been using since I switched to WordPress years ago. K2 was a solid theme, but it started getting rather unstable I thought, so it was hard to get a good [...]

Yeah, so apparently WordPress 2.9 totally broke K2. My apologies for the horrific appearance of the site, though I'm delighted to say the admin area still looks awesome! Or something. I'll get it fixed here shortly, I promise….
UPDATE: apparently WordPress not only deprecated `attribute_escape`, they also changed it's functionality (despite it's widespread use in the [...]

I just set up the WordPress plugin so I can do some formula stuff here. This is just a little test post with some example formulas taken from my sun/earth collision model.
Euler's Identity (at different sizes):
Gravitational Constant:
Force due to gravity:
Inline also works (e.g., ).
If you use shortcodes within a paragraph (e.g., [...]

Last night I finally kicked JRun to the curb and replaced it with Tomcat on my personal server. I knew JRun was a pig and that I'd get some improvements by switching, I'd just never gotten around to doing it. I don't know why I waited. Here are two graphs from my server, see if [...]

For quite some time now I've had a sidebar widget that displays an excerpt of my Twitter feed on my blog. It uses the standard Twitter JSON/P interface for loading the tweets and then a Twitter-provided script (http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js) for rendering them on the page. Unfortunately the default installation instructions would have you set up something [...]

I seems that TwitterFeed has lost all knowledge of my blog for some reason. They recently redid their whole everything, so maybe I got lost in the shuffle. I can still log into my account, but my feed is no longer listed anywhere and while Twitter didn't, TwitterFeed forgot about my OAuth config. But before [...]

I hate what stuff breaks. I'll admit to punting on occasion, but I really do try to avoid that whenever possible. While doing the FeedBurner stuff I went looking for site references, and found one on ColdFusion Bloggers that was quite interesting. I'm one of the aggregated feeds, as you'd probably imagine, and have been [...]

I set up FeedBurner for my main blog XML feed this afternoon. Pretty painless, and it appears that everything is all hunky-dory. However I figured I'd mention it in case there are problems so you'll know why.
Here's the Apache config I used (wrapped for readability):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}
!FeedBurner
[NC]
RewriteRule ^/barneyblog/(feed(/atom|/rss)?/?|wp-rss2?.php)$
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/barneyblog/
