Recommend Coldfusion for Dreamhost
Talking with someone from work today about my webhost had me investigating some of the many features that have gone unused on my account. They have great support — either through tickets or their wiki, subversion wherever and whenever you want, the ability to one click install loads of things, you can install trac, Ruby [...]
Bringing Mediums Together
Sean Corfield mentioned it, but I thought I’d mention it at well - there’s no Coldfusion Weekly this week. I hadn’t realized it, but it’s quickly become a must-listen podcast for me, usually on Mondays. A few times I think I’ve grabbed it on Sunday night I believe too.
They mentioned in their last episode [...]
OpenID Social Networking?
If you’re familiar with OpenID then ClaimID is a great place to start using it. I’ve mentioned ClaimID before, but if you’re not aware, it brands itself as the free, easy way to manage your online identity with OpenID. It’s a beutifully done interface complete with prototype Ajax magic, a well thought out interface and [...]
Coldfusion Community on Fire
I really could of had a future in writing cheesy headlines for newspapers. Although this blog tends to be more for new ideas so much has been happening in the past week related to Coldfusion, it seems proper to give an update post on a few very interesting developments which I can see being extremely [...]

My weakness has historically been design where I end up wasting countless hours trying to do something relatively simple to have it come out looking, well, not so great. This is the kind of thing that I’d happily pay (reasonably) to come up with a [...]
ColdCourse: Search Engine Safe URLs for Fusebox, Mach-II, Model-Glue and ColdBox
One thing that’s always been left out of Coldfusion frameworks (with the exception of Coldfusion On Wheels) is URL handling. This is a big thing. It’s not essential for making an application, and it certainly can be a time drain to get URLs just right. Ruby on Rails started a trend in controlling URLs not [...]
Coldbox, another great solution?
I don’t know why but I never really gave Coldbox a chance when it came out. That was still around the time before I started blogging or just investigating for fun, so I never read up on it the way of some other recent frameworks. Taking a look at it now on Luiz Majano’s blog [...]
Boosting Aggregation
One very fcool feature of Digg is that anything on the site has a RSS feed. You can access any page, even through search results, and grab an RSS feed for it. Being a longtime user of Google Reader, I decided to add the “Coldfusion” search term to Google in an attempt to see what [...]
