The Woes of Flex

By barneyb on June 13, 2007

I've been working on a big Flex project for a while now, and boy is it a pain. I have to give Adobe credit for making straightforward quite simple (linked DataGrids with drag'n'drop selection is a snap), but once you get past the basics of the framework, it gets cumbersome quickly. Flex 3 [...]

Riding My Bike

By barneyb on June 13, 2007

No, not my motorcycle, an actual bicycle. With the move last month, I'm now just shy of 10 miles from the office, which is a far more reasonable bicycle commute than the 20+ I was before. Not to say that 20 miles is an incredibly long ride, but more than I'd want to [...]

CF8 Bug Fixed

By barneyb on June 13, 2007

I have to give some props to the Adobe CF team.  Yesterday I reported a bug in CF8 via the Adobe bug report/feature request form.  In a nutshell:
There is a change in behaviour between CF6/7 and CF8 with CFQUERY's NAME attribute.  The earlier versions allow the empty string to be passed, but CF8 didn't (it [...]

i wanna go wii, part three (FuzzyDates)

By barneyb on June 1, 2007

After a couple hours of packaging, I really need to go wii, so I threw one more little bit of code at Ben’s CFUNITED/Wii contest. This time it's a fuzzy date library with two UDFs: fuzzyDateFormat, and fuzzyTimespanFormat.  They do about what you'd expect (thing GMail's timestamp formatting or Trac's age formatting), and I [...]

i wanna go wii, part two (SchemaTool)

By barneyb on June 1, 2007

I've been using a little schema management tool for a while now, and thought I'd release it into the wild.  And I just submitted it to Ben's CFUNITED/Wii contest. The submitted build is available here, as well as on Ben's site (post-contest).
In a nutshell, the tool provides a home for storing all your schema [...]

i wanna go wii, part one (TransactionAdvice)

By barneyb on June 1, 2007

I relicensed my ColdSpring AOP transaction advice under the ASL and just submitted it to Ben's CFUNITED/Wii contest. The submitted build (with no significant changes aside from licensing) is available here, as well as on Ben's site (post-contest).

Improved ComboBox Demo

By barneyb on May 17, 2007

After Koen (a coworker) pointed out that my online ComboBox demo was rather user-unfriendly (like how you just had to "know" to type an 'a' in the fields), I threw some instructions around it. It's available at /web/widgets/, as before. There's also a new distro at /web/widgets/widgets-b2231.zip, and the project page has been [...]

ComboBox Widget Update

By barneyb on May 16, 2007

I've been making tweaks to my ComboBox widget (first published in July 2005) in various apps of mine that use it, and figured it was time to publish an update. You can download the archive at /web/widgets/widgets-b2218.zip, play with the online demo (which is just the expanded archive) at /web/widgets/, or visit the project [...]

My Files are Back

By barneyb on May 10, 2007

At long last, files are back on web.  All those old download links from before my server died last winter no longer point to missing files.  There are still some links that go to non-existent pages, but all the actual downloads should now be present.

Adobe's *@(#*&$ Browser Requirements

By barneyb on April 28, 2007

This chaps my @$$ every time I have to set up a new server.  Adobe's site simply blocks if you don't have a JS enabled browser.  I never install a GUI on my servers (why should I?), and every time I need to install CF, I'm stuck downloading it to my local machine, and then [...]
