Fusion Reactor?

ColdFusion 6 Comments »

I keep seeing ads around the web for Fusion Reactor - looks like another SeeFusion product but on heat, reading the feature list I came across this statement:

Use Java 5 with ColdFusion right now. FusionReactor can upgrade your ColdFusion server to use Java 5 and get the most from its increased performance and stability.

Is CF even supported yet on Java 5?

createodbcdatetime() - a weird one!

ColdFusion 4 Comments »

I ran into a interesting issue/bug today with cfdirectory and createodbcdatetime(). To demonstrate, below are the outputs of exactly the same code one running on CF7.01 and the other on CF6.1. The first column is the raw datelastmodified field returned from the cfdirectory whilst the second column is the value returned from createdatetime() on the datelastmodified field, both running on the same server

On CF7.01 it would appear that createodbcdatetime() is not obeying the server locale instead defaulting to US format, hence why my file 29/03/05 (29 March 2005) appears to have time warped to 2029!!

There’s nothing in livedocs to suggest a change of behaviour between versions - so it’s left me stumped. A fix is to use lsparsedatetime() instead but it seems odd it’s changed without notification..?

CF on a USB stick - a possibility?

ColdFusion 7 Comments »

I’ve just seen this via Engadget - a USB based Linux Server!!! Now the mind boggles with the possibilites that could offer!! I think I’ll try and get hold of one.

EDIT: Except CFMX isn’t supported on Debian Linux

for my early spate of blog spam…I was testing some code and forgot it was pinging MXNA with each new post. I’ve ditched the ping for the time being!

Helms and Peters podcast

ColdFusion, Fusebox No Comments »

If you haven’t checked it out yet check out helmsandpeters.com new podcast. It’s a light hearted discussion on frameworks complete with canned laughter, a doctor…..and is that JohnQ as the receptionist? :). But it certainly leaves you with food for thought!

Windows Live? - try start.com instead…

general No Comments »

With all the fuss about Windows Live - why not give www.start.com a try. Now I’m not sure how long it’s going to be around for - i’m pretty sure it’s the incubation project for live.com but it works in Firefox and IE (unlike live.com).

Over the past few weeks I’ve been using both start.com and google.com/ig - to be honest Google wins. For a start I get all my Gmail coming into one screen as well as a stack of RSS feeds, saved searches….and today I learnt how to check my blood pressure with a Sphygmomanometer!
