Coldfusion as popular as Perl!
Well, that probably doesn’t say much, but in a recent poll taken over at Ajaxian.com, Coldfusion was used by a respectable 45 out of 865 respondents. Of those 45 (presumably) 10 were using AjaxCFC and another 3 use CFAjax. I’m surprised another 2% were using Flex in conjunction with Ajax (not neccesarily using CF though), [...]
Flex and Yahoo Maps integration
Why do extra work? When looking at what kind of APIs Yahoo maps offers for developers, I came across their Flex API and was absolutely stunned at how easy it might be to add them in. Unfortunately the current Flex API only supports up to Flex 1.5, which is completely different from Flex 2.0 (1.5 [...]
Isn’t it obvious?
Is it easy to explain the difference between a hash
var myHash = {a: ‘value for a’}
and an object
var myObject = {a: ‘value for a’}

Broken already?
Ok, so not completely — but one fix broke another on ArcadeFly You can no longer filter for multiple games at a location — instead you’ll get locations with any of the selected games instead of all of those selected. But in taking that out for the timebeing there’s now a way to filter by [...]
ArcadeFly.com - Back!
Back in June/July of ‘05 Google first released the public API for Google Maps. At that time that was something I’d really been waiting for, and quickly (in about 3 weeks of spare time) built this really cool Google maps application for finding arcades across the USA, and filtering by various criteria such as arcade [...]
Introducing Flex
For some time now I’ve known about Flex, but never had the urge or the desire to use it. I suppose it was in part because it uses flash completely for the interface, preventing the oh-so-useful backbutton as well as static URLs that first turned me off to the idea of doing a site entirely [...]
It’s just too Easy sometimes
I have to give Dreamhost a lot of credit. Setting up this blog was a snap using their “Goodies”, but I didn’t realize that they go above and beyond just installing Wordpress. Here’s a rundown of the process to create a new wordpress blog on Dreamhost:
Log into your Dreamhost panel and go to Goodies > [...]
Just a Mini-Rant
I have had my share of problems with my 2002 Mini Cooper S. The sunroof clicks at random times and can’t seem to be fixed, the trunk has had it’s problem closing and at time the battery has been completely submerged in water. After about 4 trips to the dealership in the past year [...]
Shortcuts I couldn’t live without
I’m not talking about shortcuts on a quicklaunch bar — but anything you do on a computer that makes things go a little smoother. I pickup occasional things from Lifehacker, and there’s probably more shortcuts in CFEclipse than I’ll be able to be used to, but there are always the core shortcuts and key combinations [...]
