CF8 Scheduled Task Migration

By barneyb on September 2, 2007

Turns out the migration of my scheduled tasks wasn't quite perfect.  A couple of them hit a URL protected by HTTP Basic Authentication, and the password didn't translate correctly.  It appears they are stored encoded, so I expect the encoding scheme changed.  Worse, the encoded value of one of them had a double quote which [...]

My ColdFusion 8 Upgrade

By barneyb on September 1, 2007

I just upgraded my workstation to ColdFusion 8 today, as well as installed it on my server (though it's just testing at this point).  Since it's my first real-world CF8 experience, I figured everyone would want to hear all about it, especially the new features that made the process much easier.
The real motivation for the [...]

Flex2 (and 3) RemoteObjects over SSL with ColdFusion

By barneyb on September 1, 2007

I just deployed a Flex app to an SSL secured host, and ran into some issues getting AMF over SSL working.  Googling turned up the answers, but in rather fragmented form.  So I'm coalescing them here.  In a nutshell, you have to create a new channel (my-secure-amf) that uses the secured versions of the AMF [...]

Flex3 Apache Module glibc Gotcha

By barneyb on August 31, 2007

I went to install the Flex3 Apache compiler module on my server today, and it supports glibc 2.4 and higher only, which means no RedHat 4 (or derivatives).  So no Flex server compilation for me, since there doesn't seem to be source anywhere to compile against glibc 2.3.

Excalibur – RPN Calulator for Windows

By barneyb on August 23, 2007

I've been using Galculator on Linux for a long while now, and I miss it when I'm at work on Windows.  It's not a particularly amazing piece of software, but it is simple, reliable, and easy to use.  So today I went looking for a Windows-compatible RPN calculator, and after trying a few different things [...]

Speed vs. Cadence Chart

By barneyb on August 18, 2007

Just deployed a new Speed vs. Cadence chart on gpsRacr.com.  The chart is rather tangential to the ongoing development of the site (as rendering it cleanly requires significant manual babying of the data, both during recording and for selecting what to present), so it probably won't get updated again.  But it was a good exercise [...]

gpsRacr.com Has Content!

By barneyb on August 17, 2007

I finally got the import and summarization routines done for gpsRacr.com, and the initial data model is fully populatable (yes, I know that's not a word) from MotionBased transport packets.  That opens the door to finally start visualizing stuff, which is awesome.  First thing was plotting a speed vs. cadence chart, which is currently displayed [...]

RequestMonitor.getRequestTimeout()

By barneyb on August 17, 2007

Ever wanted to know what the request timeout is for the currently-running ColdFusion request? The static 'getRequestTimeout()' method on the 'coldfusion.runtime.RequestMonitor' class knows. Tested to work on both CF7 and CF8.
Why might you want to know? So you can set a request timeout, but only if it's not lower than what is [...]

JavaScript. At Last.

By barneyb on August 13, 2007

Working on gpsracr.com this evening, and whipped open my favorite chunk of JS: Prototype. It just gets better all the time. They've added support for automatically executing text that is returned from an Ajax.Request with an appropriate MIME type (like text/javascript), which means you don't even need result handlers. Just dispatch to [...]
