The release of Coldfusion 9 and it's new built in Hibernate ORM, I have decided to do a major rewrite of bluApple. I know bluApple has not been released for very long, but I had been using it for quite some time. Although it is already very simplist...

So I just finished creating a paypal module for bluApple. It is still a little rough and needs some work. Right now it only supports creating Recurring billing profiles and the ability to manage those profiles. However, I am planning on adding direct...

So there have been questions about weather or not bluApple would run on Railo w/ Apache and mod_rewrite. I have tested it on Railo w/IIS and ISAPI ReWrite but I had not had any resources to do an install and test it our on Apache and mod_rewrite. S...

I got a wild hair up by butt and put together everything that was needed to install the addon into an existing bluApple Installation. I will be updating the download package as well. Attached is the download for the jquery.ui addon install ...

There was an error in the installation file because I removed a field from the database and forgot to modify the SQL for the admin entry. I have fixed this issue. The Patch is attached.

It has been brought to my attention that Mod ReWrite has different rules that ISAPI ReWrite. Thus, the .htaccess file that I have provided with bluApple does not work for apache servers. I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be providin...

Today a bug was reported that the cflog Coldfusion tag did not work properly. For the most part, I use Adobe's Coldfusion engine. However, Ralio has made it's mark on the cf community and the bug just confuses the heck out of me. I am more wri...

When you use jQuery to capture mouse events (mousedown, mouseup, click, etc.), the jQuery Event object contains the X and Y coordinates of the mouse position at the time the event was triggered. These coordinates, while somewhat different in each browser, have been standardized by jQuery to be available in the pageX and pageY properties . No matter what the target of the event is, these ... Read More »

In honor of its ten-year anniversary, The Boondock Saints (the original) is going to be back in the movie theaters for one night on March 11th (this Thursday) as a Fathom Events screening. I love this movie and I never got the chance to see it on the big screen. The first time I ever saw it, I think I purchased it on a whim for $1.99 in a Virgin Records "DVD Clearance" bin. Who knew that the movie would turn out to be awesome! ... Read More »

When I first starting playing with jQuery events, a lot of what I learned about the jQuery Event object was through trial and error. While I could be remembering incorrectly, I used to find that the jQuery documentation was good at describing the event handlers, but not so good at describing the event object; as such, while I knew that the jQuery event object was a standardized event object, I was never 100% sure which parts of it I was supposed to be using. ... Read More »

Yesterday, as I was experimenting with drawing on an HTML canvas element with jQuery , I was using ColdFusion to render temporary images to the browser. Specifically, I was using the CFImage tag's "WriteToBrowser" action to create a temporary PNG file to be served up by ColdFusion's CFFileServlet. This action creates a image file with the given type of location: ... Read More »

The HTML Canvas element is something that I've known about for a long time but never actually looked at until yesterday. The Canvas element is just what it sounds like - a surface on which we can programmatically render graphics and shapes. After seeing some really cool canvas-based demos floating around on Twitter, I decided that it was finally time to see what this web-2.0 element could do. ... Read More »
