I went this morning to Mountain View Sunnyvale to see Joel Spolsky give a presentation on FogBugz. I don’t know why people claim that south of 85/237 is Mountain View! That’s not Joel’s fault; I’m sure the Hilton is just trying to scam everyone that their meeting is in a fancier town and [...]

Way cool! The TableSorter 2.0 release I helped with has been included in the jQuery UI 1.0 release. I’m really looking forward to implementing this library in my application. Draggables, droppables, sortables and way more. Check it out.

I left a comment on Doug Hughes’ blog and thought it would be worth repeating here because I know that I didn’t hear about PCI DSS early enough. And I figure if I didn’t hear about it, then other heads-down developers may also have been missing this. Let’s get it out of the [...]

The SE-PostgreSQL team released their first full version today based on Postgres 8.2.4. Apparently it’s not a holiday in Japan where the primary contributors live.
SE-PostgreSQL is an interesting effort to combine the policies and controls of SE-Linux into the database engine to extend the access controls of the OS. [...]

OneToMany relationships in Transfer are used when you have a foreign key that references an attribute stored in another table. The example I’m going to give you from my application is Report and Report Type:
tblReport – report parameters like name, owner, status, date
tblReportType – 2-field table of reportTypeID and reportTypeName
My Transfer XML is:
<object name=”report” [...]

Went looking to see what the “state of the art” is in ColdFusion message board / forum software today… looks like this was unofficial release week:

CFMBB – Version 1.23, Released 8/22
Galleon – Version 1.7.013, Released 8/22

I’m interested to see what’s coming from Flexorum. A rich interface could really make message board reading better. [...]

I have been having a hard time wrapping my head around using the relationships OneToMany, ManyToOne and ManyToMany in Transfer so I browsed the Google group for awhile and hacked on a simple example to understand how to take a parent object and add or remove a child and save it.
My Database is:

Here’s how things should work: someone writes some open source code. You use it and like it. You see there is something that could be better. You help make it better. The cycle repeats. Everyone has better bits.
Enter TableSorter 2.0. After my previous post on TableSorter and my comments [...]

I’ve got a version of Ray’s BlogCFC for another blog with an entry that some spammers latched onto awhile back. Despite that trackbacks were never actually displayed, they were spamming it a couple times per minute. Every day.
First, I switched mod_security (on Apache) to return a 403 Forbidden using the following code:
SecFilterSelective REQUEST_URI [...]
