3D Rendering with CFML

3D Rendering with CFML

By barneyb on August 24, 2009

As everyone knows, CFML is the perfect language for every sort of programming job.  Including 3D games.  The animation is a little choppy with dynamically generated images having to be streamed down from the server side, but never let technology's shortcomings stand in the way of using your favorite tool.  Unfortunately, I haven't run across [...]

CFUnited 2009

By barneyb on August 15, 2009

First, if you're looking for the goodies from my presentation, go here.
As always, CFUnited was a great conference. First, the location Liz (et al) found was great. Comfy room, lap pool, play pools, plenty of space to hang about, etc. There are advantages to being closer in to DC, but I'd come [...]

CFUnited (CFGroovy) Goodies

By barneyb on August 13, 2009

I presented CFGroovy: Groovy for the CFML Developer this year at CFUnited.  For the millions of you who wished you could have attended my presentation but were unable to make it, I've graciously made everything available for download.
If you just want the (very thin) slides, they are available in PPT and PDF format.
There is also [...]

More Floating Point Madness

By barneyb on August 4, 2009

Ever the one to fight floating point errors, I thought I'd share my latest troubles.  The context is rendering axis labels for a chart, specifically from 67 to 68, in steps of 0.2.  As you can easily deduce, the desired list has six labels: 67.0, 67.2, 67.4, 67.6, 67.8, and 68.0.  However, ColdFusion might disagree [...]

FB3Lite Demo App

By barneyb on July 28, 2009

I've just created and published an exceptionally simple demo app for my FB3Lite framework.  The framework itself is what I feel to be a distillation of Fusebox 3, 4 and 5 down to it's essence, expressed using a, Fusebox 3-like syntax.  The demo is the classic "hello world" example, and can be downloaded as an [...]

ReversibleNamedMethodPointcutAdvisor

By barneyb on July 22, 2009

UPDATE: Turns out ColdSpring already has this functionality via the 'includeMappedNames' property in recent versions.  The ColdSpring the app I was working on uses an older ColdSpring.  So if you have a recent version of ColdSpring, this CFC is irrelevant; use the built-in one.
If you use ColdSpring, chances are you've used it's AOP functionality, and [...]

Beware ColdFusion Floating Point Integers

By barneyb on July 15, 2009

Adobe ColdFusion uses java.lang.Double to represent numbers in most cases, and it's a floating point representation.  That means it stores a finite amount of precision about the number in question, and discards any bits beyond that.  The stored precision is relative to the magnitude of the number.  So if you ask it to store a [...]

CFGroovy 2 "Release"

By barneyb on July 14, 2009

CFGroovy 2 has been been released into the wild tonight as it's own project, separate from CFGroovy.  Read all about it on it's shiny new project page.  With the advent of CF9 and built-in ORM tooling, ongoing development with Hibernate integration seems wasteful.  Bugs will be fixed, since there are a fair number of sites [...]

CFGroovy 2 Has Moved

By barneyb on July 14, 2009

Until this evening, CFGroovy 2 has lived as a branch in the original CFGroovy project.  Now it has it's very own top-level directory.  So if you've any working copies and/or unpinned svn:externals pointed at
https://ssl.barneyb.com/svn/barneyb/cfgroovy/branches/cfgroovy2
you'll need to switch them to point at
https://ssl.barneyb.com/svn/barneyb/cfgroovy2/trunk
instead.
Apologies for any inconvenience this causes, but CFGroovy 2 really isn't a new version of [...]

TwitterFeed Test Post

By barneyb on July 11, 2009

I seems that TwitterFeed has lost all knowledge of my blog for some reason.  They recently redid their whole everything, so maybe I got lost in the shuffle.  I can still log into my account, but my feed is no longer listed anywhere and while Twitter didn't, TwitterFeed forgot about my OAuth config.  But before [...]
