cfusion_encrypt/cfusion_decrypt UDFs

By barneyb on October 28, 2005

I was using cfusion_encrypt and cfusion_decrypt today, and decided that even though they don't appear to be going anywhere, they might at some point, and dealing with it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm also pretty sure that BD doesn't have the functions. So I thought why not write my own?
<cffunction name="fusion_encrypt" output="false" returntype="string">

I'm Back!

By barneyb on October 19, 2005

Much thanks to Bob Clingan, who pointed out a seemingly unrelated
setting in GMail, my email woes seem to have vanished.  The
culprit was choosing UTF-8 as my outgoing mail encoding, rather than
'default' (which is ISO-8859-1 for me).  Of course, the charset
has nothing to do with the problem, but Google decided UTF-8 messages
should be sent base-64 encoded, [...]

address, GMail gets off their ass an switches Base-64 encoding back
off, or everyone fixes their mailing software.
I haven't decided the best [...]

started using the Base-64 transfer encoding on messages I sent.  I
sent two messages to CFCDev on the 6th, and then it wasn't until the 13th
(when the problem first came to my attention) that I sent any other
messages to [...]

'Blank Barney Messages'

By barneyb on October 16, 2005

Over the past couple days, there have been numerous complaints about
my messages showing up blank in various people's inboxes, and I'm
trying to nail down why.  Here's what I suspect has happened:
GMail
started (at some unknown point) sending messages with a base-64 content
transfer encoding.  Mailing list software often appends a footer to
the bottom of the message, and [...]

ColdFusion and Batik

By barneyb on October 6, 2005

I've been using SVG for custom charting stuff for several years now,and it's really nice. Only problem is that it requires an SVG plugin, and it's not very common. No big deal for admin sites, but for more public usage, that's pretty much a concept killer.
Enter Batik.
Batik is a Java SVG implementation by [...]
