GTalk Enabled

By barneyb on April 7, 2006

I'm now GTalk enabled with my actual IM client (gaim), rather than just inside the GMail interface (which doesn't work very well).  So if you want to message me, my username is bboisvert, and I'll probably actually respond!  I can also be reached on ICQ at 4965668, AIM at se7777777n, MSN at barneyboisvert@hotmail.com, and (unfortunately) [...]

Tabbed Documents

By barneyb on April 5, 2006

I was doing some prototyping today, and wanted to save four individual text buffers as a tabbed document.  More specifically, I wanted to save the four buffers as a single file with four sections, and when reopened, have the four sections load into four separate buffers (tabs) in the editor.
Excel has had this feature for [...]

Where have I been?

By barneyb on March 30, 2006

It's been a LONG time since I've posted, and I feel bad.  But hopefully I'll get back on track.
In the past two months, I've primarily been focused on designing new version of our main application.  For various reasons, we're moving away from CF and to a "pure" Java application.  While I'm not particularly happy to [...]

Aggregated by MXNA

By barneyb on February 1, 2006

I finally started reading MXNA a week or two ago, and thought I should submit this blog to it.  So I did, and I just got my confirmation email back saying I'm in. Yay me!

I'm Back!

By barneyb on January 12, 2006

The move is over, I've got an internet connection again, and life is
returning to normal.  All in all, the move went pretty well, and
we've pretty much got the house unpacked.  There's some boxes
still lingering, but most of them are stuff that we don't really need
(Christmas decorations, LEGOs, etc.).
I'll eventually fall back
into a routine, hopefully blogging [...]

The Move is Official

By barneyb on December 29, 2005

Well, the move is officially underway.  Our current house
closed yesterday, we move to Portland tomorrow, and take custody of the
new house Saturday.  Unfortunately we can't get Internet access
until Thursday, so I'll be offline until then, but it's finally
happening, and then we'll be done with this god-forsaken packing
s**t.  ;)
Hope all had/are having good December-ish holidays, and [...]

Moving…

By barneyb on November 8, 2005

My family and I are finally moving to Portland.  As some of you
know, I've been pursuing gainful employment in Portland for a while
now, and have found it.  Surprisingly, I don't even have to switch
jobs.  I'll continue to work for my current employer, AudienceCentral,
just remotely.  This will work well for them, since I'm a very
valuable asset [...]

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, [...]

HoF Hates Base-64

By barneyb on October 19, 2005

After some careful observation this morning, it appears that email I
sent do HoF mailing lists is being killed outright.  So basically
I'm cut off form the CF world until I either decide to change my email
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 [...]

More Blank Message Info

By barneyb on October 17, 2005

After another day of fighting the blank message demons, I've assembled some more information.  On October 1st, Gmail
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 [...]
