My name is Nathan Mische. I'm a husband, soon to be father, and software developer. I work mostly with ColdFusion, but I've been known to dabble in Flash (ActionScript) development. Lately I find myself doing more and more fun stuff with Java, and thanks to AJAX, JavaScript.

Over the weekend I released ColdFire 1.9.207.249. This version works with Firefox 9 and Firebug 1.9. You can download the latest from the new GitHub project site . If you have the current 1.7.207.246 version installed, there is no need to update your server side debugging code as that …
Today I released a new ColdFusion 9 ORM entity validation framework named OK! . This framework grew out of my attempt to use Hyrule in a large FW/1 Mura plugin. I really liked Hyrule, but I ran into a few issues with the framework and OK! is an attempt to address those issues.

Today I finally got around to updating my cf-websocket-gateway project . This version is based on the Webbit WebSocket server, which is itself based on the Netty project. I made this change because the Java-Websocket server I was using was not being updated and Webbit is a very nice …
Last night I gave a presentation to my local Philly CFUG, part of which covered the creation of cookies from ColdFusion. In the course of presenting I "discovered" that it is possible to set secure cookies in response to a non-secure request.

Today I threw together a quick custom tag library for ColdFusion 9 which allows you to build Excel spreadsheets using syntax similar to HTML tables. Right now it is very basic but I plan to expand on it as needed. You can check it out on GitHub .

I'm finally doing a lot of work with CF 9's ORM and I'm finding that dealing with null values in CFML can be quite a pain, especially when working with relationships. One thing that comes up quite a bit is iterating over child collections. ColdFusion goes out of it's way to shield …

So this is old news - like ColdFuison 8 old news - but I've only started to use cfscript heavily with ColdFusion 9 so I just ran into this today. If you need to append to a file in cfscript you first need to use FileOpen() to open a file object in the append mode.
