ColdFusion Builder Colorization – Background Colors

Steve Gongage — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:18:22 +0000

As we start experimenting more with ColdFusion Builder we realize how set in our ways we have become. For instance, I have trouble finding my really distinguishing my comments at a glance from the rest of my code unless they are highlighted a little. Probably all the years I spent in Dreamweaver’s code view after my silent protest of CFEclipse’s clunkiness.

When I tried updating the background colors of comments, I found this feature was left out of the UI. Well, with a very little amount of XML work, and the helpful tips given by the CF Builder Team’s Sandeep Paliwal, I was able to fix this issue and get back to being the comment master that I always have been… whatever… anyways, it helped is what I’m saying.

ColdFusion 8 Vista SP1 Solution

Ok, so I spent about 3 hours today trying to find a decent set of instructions on how to setup ColdFusion for IIS7 under Vista. It turned out all I was missing was the installation of a few components for IIS7, specifically:

IIS Metabase and IIS6 configuration compatibility
ISAPI Extensions
ISAPI Filters

I found this information on Dale Fraser’s blog here, in case anyone else needs this info (or I do after I reformat again…).

Yea, I know I pretty much restated the stupid subject line. Whatever, everyone’s heading off to Olive Garden for lunch and I didn’t want to forget to post this up there and didn’t have something unique to restate someone else’s post. HA!

PhoneGap – Access all iPhone Functionality with just HTML and JavaScript

Steve Gongage — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 12:13:45 +0000

Now this is something I need to check out when I get a minute. The basic premise of PhoneGap is that you use HTML and JavaScript to write applications for the iPhone. It exposes core features of the iPhone such as geolocation, the accelerometer, sound and vibration (I can’t even write that word without wanting to make a stupid joke… damn I’m a 10 year old…)

Screencast: iPhone Debugging

Steve Gongage — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 19:36:22 +0000

Jeff Lamarche over at iPhoneDevelopment put together 1 and a half screen casts on using the XCode debugger. Not a lot new here about general debugging, but I did pick up a few things on XCode’s personal take on the debugger that I didn’t know about. I say 1 and a half screen casts because it looks like he forgot something in the first one so he created a second one as an addendum.
