ColdFusion 9 on VirtualBox
I’ve finally posted my instructions for getting ColdFusion 9 up and running on VirtualBox! It took me a few times to work through the process and get everything working (and documented) and at one point I forgot the password on the VM image and had to start over again. Oooops.

My first hours with the Nexus One
There’s no denying that Apple did a terrific job with the iPhone. After walking around with PDAs and smartphones, Apple really changed the market and it took a while for competitors to catch up. I honestly never thought I would think about replacing my iPhone any time soon. Even with all its obvious flaws… But [...]

ColdFusion ORM Gotcha - Non-String Struct Collection Keys
Here's another tricky issue when working with collections of child objects that are stored as structs. Just like last time, we'll look at a Department object
with a one-to-many property that holds a collection of Users which is stored as a struct. The difference this time is that we'll use a numeric property as the key to the struct,
rather than a string property:
component persistent="true" output="false" entityname="Department" {
property name="DeptId" fieldtype="id" generator="nati

Pseudo 3D tricks from old computer games for all your Canvas needs
It is quite interesting to see how technology moves in circles. With canvas being the new fun toy to play with for creating browser-based games we have to find solutions to fake a 3D environment to be really fast (sure there is Canvas 3D but it is overkill for most games). The trick is to [...]

How To Create GStrings In Javascript By Extending Core Data Types
This morning, I was looking at a tutorial on how to extend built-in Javacript objects by altering the Prototype of native Javacript classes. In doing this, you can add your own methods to Javascript String and Array instances (for example). The down side to this approach is that this affects every new and existing instance of the altered data types (all instances of a given type share a common prototype). This got me thinking about Javascript object extension in general, and I wondered, rathe

What Happens When A ColdFusion CFLock Timeout Is Exceeded Without Error?
Last week, when I was working on my jQuery Photo Tagger plugin (for Flickr-style photo annotation) , I was using CFLock to create thread-safe cache updates in the ColdFusion aspect of the code. As I was doing that, it occurred to me - I wasn't 100% sure what would happen if the timeout (indicated by the CFLock tag) was exceeded and no error was thrown? In the CFLock tag, you can use the ThrowOnTimeout attrib ... Read More »

It's not that complicated - you basically create a Sequence effect that resizes the object in question and fades it in/out (based on whether it's coming or going).
