I’m a jQuery fan but not a jQuery expert so when Duane Moraes from Packt Publishing offered me copies of their new jQuery titles I was excited. I’m usually hesitant to invest in books for rapidly evolving technologies; I think it’s hard for the publisher to capture information and distribute it quickly enough to [...]

My company has been in search of a 42u cabinet for our upgraded environment. After a couple of unplanned power outages that cycled our servers over the past few years, we decided to do due diligence and look around. We’re going from a 1/4 rack to a full, locking cabinet to support our [...]

Huzzah! It is possible. I have CFMX7 running under CentOS-5 (RHEL-5) with SELinux enforcing. I imagine this will also work to correct CFMX8.
The Problems

The mod_jrun20.so and mod_jrun22.so provided by Adobe is broken in many ways. You can see my original post on recompiling the connector to support mod_deflate but it’s just [...]

I have a need for an abstracted payment processing API and based on a thread on the CFGURU list, it’s obvious other people do too. A few weeks ago, I created a project called CFMERCHANT but found the name was taken so today it has been renamed to CFPAYMENT. You can see the [...]

A top high-performance web site techniques is using gzip compression with mod_deflate on Apache to speed delivery of your site. Out of the box, ColdFusion 7, 8 and 9 do not work. Here’s a 1-line fix to correct it.

I’ve been trying on and off to get Apache 2.0.x to compress HTML and XML output from ColdFusion. I’ve got CSS and Javascript compressing just fine and can verify it through the mod_deflate custom log format, but anything that comes out from ColdFusion via mod_jrun20 is returned uncompressed.
According to the Apache docs, the DEFLATE [...]

Phishing attacks impersonate someone you do business with in order to separate you from your confidential information. Usually they are pretty hokey but the sophistication level has been steadily increasing over the last year.
I received a new telephone-based variation three times this morning. It’s a “Credit Union” attack with a very clever email. [...]

That’s one exciting title. I found myself needing to migrate /var/log to a bigger drive as part of setting up a centralized syslog server. Normally, that’s not so hard but my requirements included:

Software RAID – mirroring drives for fault tolerance and no need for hardware RAID
Logical Volume Manager – LVM gives me additional [...]

On the heels of my post yesterday, I want to share a strategy I’ve recently started using to manage third party dependencies with Subversion. In my code, I rely on many packages like jQuery, Dojo and FCKEditor. It’s easy to fall behind as they release new versions, especially when you have to overlay [...]

I searched like crazy and couldn’t find this information very easily anywhere so here’s the documentation. Many subversion clients, like TortoiseSVN, look for bugtraq properties in your repository. When it sees these properties, in the case of TortoiseSVN, it adds a new box to the UI when you’re committing code changes that allows [...]
