QuackFuzed.com is the personal ColdFusion coding blog of Matt Quackenbush. It exists primarily as a place for the author to learn, and hopefully to assist others in learning and/or avoiding some of the same pitfalls and mistakes. (Quack certainly makes enough mistakes daily to make up for the entire ColdFusion community.)
While there are literally hundreds of songs that you'll hear me say "this is one of my favorites!" about, and thousands more that I can be heard saying "I love this song!" about, there are only 10 that are good enough to make it on this list.
I truly love Gmail, especially for lists, but there's one thing that just annoys the living hell out of me:
Why is it that some items won't show up for hours and hours, and yet the timestamp on them is older than other items that appear first?
The same thing happens with Google Groups. Here's a fine example:
It just really peeves me, for a variety of reasons, but in this particular case it just makes me look like I ignored responses to my question. Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
In case you hadn't heard yet, jQuery is a seriously bad-ass, lightweight library that I'm in love with. Here's what the official jQuery site has to say about it:
"jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript."
However, you can always leave it to a guy like me to find a way to screw things up.
Simple question: In terms of usage amongst the ColdFusion community, is Pownce dead? Sure seems to be to me. With CFCommunity, who needs it? I'm curious to hear your take on it.
While I've been writing ColdFusion for over 10 years now, I am a relative newcomer to the world of writing my own custom tags. I know, odd; but it is what it is. On occasion, I run into a particular behavior with <cfexit /> that perplexes me greatly, and I'm hoping that someone can help shed some light on it for me.
I don't know if I've ever mentioned it before, but I really love jQuery. It's such a lightweight, yet very powerful tool. There are so many really cool things that you can do with jQuery, and I'm really no authority on the matter, but here is one really basic task that I use it for.
Man, 2008 is here already, can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday it was 1999. Or 1989. Or...
I trust that everyone out there has an incredibly fruitful year this year. Here's to the ColdFusion community at large; raise those champaign glasses high!
(Oh, and for the new year, I decided to roll out a new layout. Hopefully you like it. I think it looks hellabetter than the old one.)
