Coldfusion and checking if a variable is Defined

January 26th, 2011 - Coldfusion, How To, PHP, Thoughts & Rants

As I work with Coldfusion 9, I can’t help but keep comparing it to PHP, and I get annoyed by some of the small differences. One thing that I really have been getting annoyed with lately is checking if a variable is defined.  In most cases you could do a simple check, is it empty? [...]

Really cool 404 page on GitHub

January 20th, 2011 - CSS, Javascript, Reviews, Thoughts & Rants

Well I happened to stumble over this fancy shmancy 404 page today at GitHub, and I must say it is simplistic, yet VERY impressive (maybe its the whole starwars thing) but I really like the simple 3D effect that is created by using layered images. Try it yourself, go to: https://github.com/thispagenotfound And move your mouse [...]

A3M in a nutshell a3m is a great OpenID module for CodeIgniter, and what [...]

Apple Nano Watches?

November 17th, 2010 - Apple, In the News, Thoughts & Rants

This is ultimately pretty cool, but very unusable as an every day piece.  I really like my watch for the simple fact that it is always reliable, I never have to worry about charging it, the battery dies once in a blue moon (every couple years), plus I don’t own a Nano, and if I [...]

Auto Industry’s Fastest Processor Is 128Mhz

November 15th, 2010 - In the News, Thoughts & Rants

Found this on Slashdot, and found it really interesting that the ‘top of the line’ microprocessor is only 128Mhz with 3mb onboard flash memory. Yeah I’m sure that it has to ‘survive’ environmental conditions that most CPU’s don’t but come on. You can put the processor outside of the engine compartment… right? Or maybe its [...]
