Re: ergonomics

2003-07-21 Thread William Wheatley
I use a Natural Keyboard and i have 2 long gel strips that cover the whole
base of the desk so when i'm on the keyboard or mouse my wrists get support.
I try to keep all primary items on my desk within reach without having to
bend forward. And then i make sure to stop every hour and stretch and get up
and walk for a bit.

Go talk to a massage therapist thats who taught me some of the stretching
tips that have helped!

Good Luck

Ok having a brain fart.

Whats the best way to send 

1,2,3,4,5,6,7 
into a SP, its a VARCHAR on the CFPROCPARAM and in the SP as well but it keeps saying 
its an int which it isnt.
And i'm forgetting how to fix!! thx

When I came back from Korea, I had no money, no skills. Sure, I was good

Re: Idea Incubator Article : CFMX TinyMUSH 4 integration

Subject: Idea Incubator Article : CFMX  TinyMUSH 4 integration


 So, in my spare time I've been working on a fun little project. I play on
 MUSHes (sort of like a MUD only more for RolePlay than hack and slash) a
 lot and I've always wanted to do a web character generator. My vision on
 how this works is basically that I have 2 databases. One that CFMX
 interfaces with (secure) and the other that the mush interfaces with
 (insecure), something like this:

 CFMX - Secure db - Insecure db - TinyMUSH 3.0 patchlevel 4#1

 TinyMUSH has the ability to interface with MySQL, but because you can't
 specify a password for the mush to log into mysql with, I've decided that
 this is a 'hostile' zone because of that. Which is why I call it an
 insecure database. So, basically all the stats of a character will be
 placed into the secure db. The insecure db will be quick snapshots or a
 transportation layer for the mush to interface with.

 I still had one problem though. The data will remain in the transportation
 layer until something kicks off within the MUSH itself. How else would
that
 data get sucked into the game? I kept thinking about it and ... well, I
had
 two options. One, every time staff made a change to a character on the
web,
 they'd have to type a command (like +synch) on the actual game. That's
 stupid and tedious. I needed a robot or something to interface with the
mush.

 I called upon one of my best friends in Atlanta, Don Stauffer (goes by the
 old Mush name of Hyperion) who works for
 http://www.air2web.com/air2web.com. Great guy, loves java stuff. Came
 from a 'C' background (self taught) and he taught himself java because the
 demands were high for it. He now writes java api's for wireless protocols
 for air2web.com. I asked Don if he could make me a java api that would
 allow me to use CFMX to telnet into the mush, kick off a few commands and
 logoff.  He finished it today and gave me a robot.jar file. This thing is
 *great*. I was able to put the jar file into my
 CfusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\lib directory, hiccup the server and ...
write:

 cfobject type=java name=newRobot class=com.don.robot.Robot
 action=create
 cfscript
 myRobot = newRobot.getInstance();
 myRobot.login(myserver_name,port,'Javabot',bot_password);
 myRobot.command('page todd=Booya');
 myRobot.command('page todd=Tired of this crap, logging off..');
 myRobot.logoff();
 /cfscript

 The in game results:
 JavaBot has connected.
 JavaBot pages: Booya
 JavaBot pages: Tired of this crap, logging off..
 JavaBot has disconnected.

 Is this not cool or what?! :) :) Now, ColdFusion MX can seamlessly handle
 the web chargen of the game and handle the synchronization of actual game
 data within the game (as well as recieve feedback on whether something was
 successful or not!).  In fact, because of how much I can do with the
 javabot api, I'm beginning to wonder if I need the insecure database at
 all.. I can just have the JavaBot set all the game attributes on the
player
 object as needed.  We'll see...

 I realize that a lot of people are wanting to learn flash for remoting,
 etc. However, if you get a chance to explore with ColdFusion MX and Java.
 Do it. It's worth every penny to explore and have fun with the
 possibilities of using CFMX and Java together.  You can use java to
enhance
 / extend your CFMX experience. Even if it's for something stupid and
 trivial as a game. :)

 Hope this inspires someone to have fun... =)

Re: mySQL equivalent of MS Access Money fieldtype?

To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 1:09 PM
Subject: RE: mySQL equivalent of MS Access Money fieldtype?


 I'm running into some of the very problems you mention.
 I tried Decimal as the field type, but 100.5 gets rounded up to
 101.00...not good.

 I tried Integer, but when, for example, 100.50 gets entered into a
 formfield,
 then inserted into the db, it gets truncated to 100.  How do I set up
 Integer
 to retain 2 decimal places?

 Also, I'm trying to setup the mySQL db fieldtype and CF processing such
that
 if a user inputs $100.50, which is not a number, mySQL won't reject it.
 I tried setting up the CF input line with various combinations of
functions,
 such as:

 cfqueryparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER
 Value=#LSCurrentFormat(LSParseNumber(Form.UCPaymentAmount))#

 but I haven't been able to find the right combo to allow users to input
 either 100.50, 100.5, or $100.50
 and still get the right number into the db without rounding or truncating
 and back out for display on the CF page.

 Clues?

 Rick

 Integer is the safer way to represent money - as pennies - because that
 way you avoid rounding errors. Financial applications should never use
 floating point to represent dollars (or whatever). If you take 0.00 and
 add 0.01 a hundred times, you're quite likely to get something which
 does not equal 1.00 because of inherent inaccuracies in floating point
 representation.

 found that their CGI.HTTP_COOKIE has a duplicate, yet different, value

 Like this, 2 PARENTID, each with a different value.

 CFID=123; CFMAGIC=123%A1B2C3; CFTOKEN=A1B2C3; PARENTID=142296;
 PARENTID=0

 Has this occurred to anyone else?

 save it in the /opt/coldfusion/bin directory

Re: Mass email marketing

2002-11-13 Thread William Wheatley
Spam makes money ;)
Just do it legally and honor removes and don't try to spoof and you will
stay within the law.

Of course when you start doing any bulk email you get the antispam fanatics
into a fuss. But on the general Mass Email Marketing is very productive and
can generate alot of money at very low cost. I can send you some server
setup recommendations if you want as to how to send the most for the least
amount of time or bandwidth and how to keep all messages customized and
easily track email addresses so you can remove people even whent hey are
behind spamcop or such or even to work the message enough to get through 99%
of spam filters.

But in all reality if you're not being a jerk and are actually sending real
offers to real people and you honor removes and dont flood peoples mail
servers too much (like with hotmail send every 4 hours, same with yahoo) you
should be fine.
And you might want to switch your domain name you will mail the offers from
to something like registerfly.com
which is mass email friendly. Some registerents will shut you off for
sending bulk email so becareful.

If you want anymore thoughts just give me an email offlist

as much as i love CF :) It didnt have the speed to do what i needed.

Closest thing was Howies Software which was very good but we didnt have time
to wait for his newest version.

 When doing mass mailings in CF via CFMAIL I do a couple of things to
 keep from getting black flagged by MSN and AOL:

 1. Send email messages as individual items via a routine that throttles
 down the send rate.  Blasting out hundreds of messages to AOL accts in
 an instant caused them to clamp down on one of my clients and deny mail
 with 'unknown recipient' messages for a short period of time.  Same
 thing happened to their hotmail-using members.  I use a rate of 14400
 per hour (60 msgs every 15 seconds).  Obviously not so great for really
 big stuff.  No idea what any sort of upper threshold is.

 2.  Use cfmailparam to prop up cfmail's crummy header info.  Before
 using these my own server side anti-spam software failed cfmail messages
 on two tests.

 cfmailparam name=Reply-To value=#senderaddress#
 cfmailparam name=Message-ID
 value=#CreateUUID()#@#validemailservername#

 As has been said before in this thread (though I can't recall who said
it),
 it's really none of our business how or why Verne left.  That's up to
Verne
 to decide if he wants us knowing.  And, from his previous email messages,
it
 seems as though he doesn't intend to keep us in the know -- a perfectly
 reasonable decision.  Verne's stated decision should be enough for us to
 drop the subject.

 Instead of making wild guesses as to what MM has in mind, let's wait until
 Mike and the rest of the MM crew are able to fill us in.

But if the people who give MM the money to make their great products dont
keep the company in line
there is nothing to help persuade them from doing what they plan to do.

Only with a vocal and strong voice can the company be persuaded to listen to

  Jeff,
 
  I'll back you up. MM has a long history of abandoning products. Everyone
  seems to act like CF is invincible, yet it was sold by Allaire a little
  over a year ago.
 
  The sad fact of the matter is that MS is more trustworthy than MM, when
  it comes to secure futures for its developers. I mean, C# could be the
  biggest failure of all time, but MS would ride it out and C# developers
  would have jobs for a long time to come. JSP is stable, because it's not
  a company centric language. It's the CF developers who are up late at
  night wondering what the future holds.
 
  Do you think MM will keep CF around if it starts to tank? Phat chance.
  If the software doesn't sail, these captains jump before the women and
  children. I know I'm not the only one who learned Generator. :)
 
  I'd just like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to learn a
  new language. Even if you don't use it extensively, you can at least
  secure peace-of-mind.

  wouldn't want to upgrade to CFMX until after it matures for a couple of

 This whole 'Hidden CF Factor' sort of reminds me of 'Wagner's music is
 better than it sounds' or perhaps 'Pay no attention to the man behind
 the curtain.'

 What hogwash! Basic statistics tell us that there is probably as much
 'hidden' (read: 'intranet') ASP, PHP, and J2EE, proportionately, as
 their is CF.

 On the other hand if MM *insists* that CF is 'more pervasive than the
 visible penetration would indicate' then that puts the lie to what
 Allaire and MM have said all along...that CF is eminently suitable for
 high-volume sites in which usage patterns are unpredictable.

 In all, they can't have it both ways, now can they? :-)

 If we cannot reproduce this in house, we cannot fix it. If it is not
escalated through support, the likelihood of the problem getting addressed
is negligible.

 We can do comparisons all day long, however what it boils down to is this:

 You and anyone else seeing this problem, need to contact technical
support. You need to allow them to get the information they need to point
you to a solution. Yes, other people may have seen this problem, but so far,
as far as I can tell, the problem seems like CF Dies under load.

 Well, we ran CFMX under load, for *weeks* before we shipped it. I know; I
had to help out with it.

 We have supplied a clearly defined avenue to getting your issues heard.
The avenue is supported and maintained by Macromedia (ie: not a 3rd party
mailing list, or a website) and this is the most efficient method of issue
resolution we have at the moment.

 Is it perfect or foolproof? Is it final? No. Are we examining it and
looking for ways of improving it? Yes.

 Right now however, that is the *best* method of getting an issue resolved.

  |
  | Jesse,
  | I certainly see your point, however, as a developer and small
  | business owner, there are financial concerns that a large
  | organization like MM wouldn't understand. My business
  | _depends_ on my customers being able to trust what I tell
  | them. If I recommend a change to their
  | hardware/software/processes/etc. and they implement it, my
  | reputation is on the line. In that light, I am always _very_
  | hesitant to recommend production software upgrades until they
  | have been through the wringer a while.
  |
  | My other problem is that, to report a possible bug, many
  | software companies expect you to essentially put down a
  | deposit before they will take your call. I, for one, simply
  | cannot afford to gamble that tech support is going to agree
  | that my issues are bugs until they get a lot of reports of
  | it. That is a financial risk for small businesses that are
  | struggling to survive in these economic times.
  |
  | Maybe if the software companies (and I'm not saying MM
  | doesn't, because I simply haven't checked) provided an
  | efficient tool for reporting possible bugs without requiring
  | the normal full tech support call and deposit, people would
  | be more likely to civilly report the bugs than vent on the forums.

Re: APPLICATIONNAME

you need the Application.cfm file in the root directory of your site with
the CFAPPLICATION tag
if you're running on Linux make sure the A in the Application.cfm is capital
since linux cf is picky about case ;)

Re: web server for XP home?

2002-03-26 Thread William Wheatley

XP is a much better and more stable system them Win2k IMHO.
Though my belief is you will always hear horror stories about everything.

XP pro is nice iis is pretty easy to use with it not terrible

   I have to concur w/ the statement about moving from 98 to 2k Pro (which

 did two weeks ago).
   The reason I chose 2K pro was because I had heard so many bad things
 about XP.

 One problem you are going to run into with ANY CF banner program is
 performance first off, secondly is concurrency issues once you move to
more
 than one server. If all you need is a counter, positions, and a random ad
 then you are safe with just about anything, however once you move to
 weighted ads concurrency becomes a huge problem.
 I has to rewrite an entire CF banner program as a stored procedure for

 None if you dont need to worry about weighted ads or targeted ads. As long
 as the program does not need to make decisions based upon how many views
an
 ad has had, or which ad it should show now it does not matter.
 As soon as you need to know which ad to show next, rather than random ads,
 you have to be updating a counter and selecting it again on the next ad
 view, if you have two different servers, where you cant cflock the entire
 program you then have a situation where concurrent users on different
 servers are being shown the same ad then updating the counter +1 each
time,
 and you just lost a rotation...or you get each rotation but you lose an
 adview, depending on how you do your math.
 Since single threading a banner program by making the entire set of
queries
 a transaction is not an option even under moderate load, it can get a
little
 complex. I just personally dont think CF is the best solution for a high
 transaction banner system...
 Even SQL Server has problems with concurrency that make it not ideal
either.
 From what I have seen, at least one of the big banner companies uses
Oracle
 not SQL Server... I've been thinking about rewriting the banner program in
 Java because of the whole concurrency issue. When it comes down to it, CF
 and SQL SP's are essentially stateless, so the program has to make all
it's
 decisions and updates all at once. That's a whole lot of database traffic.

 But then again, my statements only really apply for complex, high
 transaction banner systems, not the majority of sites out there...
 There is a guy from DoubleClick that occasionally posts here that has a
real
 nice banner program though, wonder how much. ;-)

ultradev STUDIO =)

2001-05-04 Thread William Wheatley

For the love of god dont make Ultradev to be STUDIO all in one, i like CF STUDIO 
because it lets you have the flat text based editing and you can right click on any 
tag and edit it..then ultradev is great for GRAPHIC development, though ultradev does 
butcher some CF code if you drag and drop sometimes. I think that is due to the fact 
that Ultradev is tryign to be an END all it does ASP, JSP, PHP  CF =) since you guys 
own the company now maybe making UD focus more on CF first makign it perfect and then 
get it to run all the other program next. But if you can get Ultradev to integrate 
EVERYTHIGN about CF STUDIO (except the memory hogging, and the continous crashing) I 
think it would be a great product, but you might want to do what allaire did, they had 
HOMESITE, then to make CF STUDIO they just took HOMESITE and added some CF stuff to it 
and walla!..

Maybe take UD and add a CF MODE to it that opens a window like CF STUDIO to do text 
based working?? I don tknow just dont forget about the CF RDS integration i hate 
FTPing =)

Thx thats my 2 cents i know you guys will get it right

Re: BANNER AD PROGRAM

2001-05-04 Thread William Wheatley

AMEN i hear you it is a piece of shit program =) that i trully have learned
to dispise (sp)

Would you think i could get around the bottleneck on the local side, becuase
the ad server is a screamer, as well as both boxes are on our local network,
so i dont think transfer problems could be a problem, and if needed we could
do 1 ad box per domain.

We currently use CFHTTP's to grab the central ad ads and we've had no
problem with it at all EXCEPt for it pulling up default ads all the time =),
no way to SET ads to a specific number of HIts per month, unless you want to
set the ads to run 1 month only and then redo that EVERY month. I really
think it was a piece of garage, we're talking with double click now about
possibly getting there software licensed to use for us internally outside of
there network (because they are not much better IMHO). But i really want
something in CF that i can get my hands on and do what i want it and need it
to do =)

Thanks!
And i feel your pain

 William,

 I've also thought about using CFHTTP to pull ads from a dedicated ad
server,
 but I'd think there would be serious performance problems.  First, you're
 forced to lock CFHTTP until you've output the variable cfhttp.filecontent.
 Secondly, each page that CF returns doesn't get passed on to the web
server
 until it's been completely rendered by CF.  So if you have a lot of CF
pages
 waiting on that single threaded CFHTTP that's pulling banners, it could
 become an enormous bottleneck.  More so if you've got banner ads on every
 page of a busy site or family of sites.

 BTW, we're also using CentralAd.  What a piece of unsupported garbage.  If
 you're doing remote ad calls (ala doubleclick) the clickthroughs often end
 up going to the wrong place, or else the server is incapable of figuring
it
 out at all and redirects to the 'default' ad's URL.  It's a really problem
 when users are going through proxies and the like.  I suspect as many as
 10-20% of clickthroughs are being misdirected.  When it gets busy, we also
 have a problem with their CGI's hanging on the ad server and having to be
 manually killed off to free up memory and CPU cycles.

 try using the same variable to name the query as you are for naming the
output. I have done this before where my query name was "lu#table#" and my
cfoutput was named the same ie: name="lu#table#".

Another CFOUTPUT questions

2001-04-07 Thread William Wheatley

Another question this seems ODD

you can do a CFQUERY and have the name be

cfquery name="flight attendant" with a space

but when you go and do a CFOUTPUT query="flight attendant" it gives you an
error

Loop error
The QUERY= attribute of a tag specifies the query 'qgetflight attendant'. A
query by this name is not available at this point in the template. The
likely cause of this error is a misspelling of the query name.

So that is odd that you cant have a space in there

FIXED

2001-04-07 Thread William Wheatley

ok the problem was due to having a Space in the CFOUTPUT query="asdf basd"

thats very weird that in a CFQUERY you can name it with a space but now a
cfoutput query.

Maybe they will fix that error in later versions

Re: CF Variables in database...

2001-03-25 Thread William Wheatley

you have to put a

CFOUTPUT /cfoutput
around the variables

or CFOUTPUT query="blah"

CFOUTPUT has to be around all ## variables in order to be processed as
anything other then text/html

Subject: CF Variables in database...


 I have data in my database that contains CF varaibles. For example,
"Hello,
 Mr. #lname#" might be in my database. I call this data from a query and
 insert it into a page that has lname defined. So I want it to assign a
value
 to the variable. But when I out the code, it is returned as #lname#,
 complete with pound signs and CF ignores it.

 How can I run a query that returns variables to be processed by CF server?

 Thanks,
 Steve
