RE: Converting scientific notation to pure numeric
My first thought was to just use the left function
and cut the number down to the size you want:
cfset newNumber = left('9.09090909090909E 106', 6) /
cfoutputnewNumber = #newNumber#/cfoutput
newNumber = 9.0909
Then you can do with it as you please.
Would that work?

Re: low footprint(disk usage) dev enviroment
you don;t need a VM, you can run CF and a web server on your normal desktop no problem. I run windows 7 64bit, 8gb RAM, quad core cpu and use it as a desktop and a dev server if you don't want the hassle of running a dev server then signup for the free cfdeveloper hosting at www.cfmldeveloper.com Russ On Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 3:25 PM, Matthew Smith chedders...@gmail.com wrote: IS there a question here?

Amazon Product Advertising API
Hey guys having trouble getting this API to work.

Found out that this script is no longer valid. Found this new CFC (https://gist.github.com/874365), but there is no usage instructions... Anybody know the usage for this CFC, or a CFC that works with latest changes that Amazon made on their API?

Re: low footprint(disk usage) dev enviroment
If your machine is a Windows machine, should have no problem running IIS, and if it's Win7, should be able to set IIS like they have it. If a Mac, you can run Apache, but personally, I prefer just spinning up Tomcat and running via WARs - easier to stand up and tear down entire CF instances, in my opinion, so the admin isn't' cluttered with settings unrelated to the app I'm interested in at the moment. VMs run fine on 8GB - I'd allocate 1 or 2 GB, and you shouldn't have many problems. Things might run a bit slow, but that's fine while developing. However, VM is really only needed if you have some settings like .htaccess or web.config settings; probably only the case if your setup with CT is a VPS. OS licensing: Good idea to mirror what CT has, but that probably doesn't matter. However if Windows Server is needed, you can download a trial version if that meets your need. If you need a long-term license, an MS TechNet subscription would work (pretty sure for dev purposes doesn't violate the licensing there) for cheap. MS also had a program called WebsiteSpark, where based on your needs and qualifications, they give away licenses of Windows Server, SQL Server, Visual Studio, etc. Billy Cravens bdcrav...@gmail.com On Nov 26, 2011, at 7:33 AM, Matthew Smith wrote: hello. i spent a lot of time posting here way back when, and then did other things, and now i am posting again. good to see you all.

Re: Amazon Product Advertising API
I've integrated into Amazon using some of their AWS services, though not the API you're referencing. I believe they all pretty much work the same: you send Amazon a specifically formatted string, and HMAC encode it. Look at the code inside of the AWS Console project on RIA Forge - I've used that one, and confirm that it works. It's split into a number of CFCs, so it should be pretty easy to pull out only what you need. I believe the S3 project referenced in the gist you posted is valid, but I can't comment on it as I've never used it.

Re: low footprint(disk usage) dev enviroment
+1 for What Billy said. The only time you would really need a VM is to mirror your production server. If you are hosting on Windows, 95% of the time you can run a close enough approximation on your local Windows machine to where it would not matter. Linux is another ball of wax. I have a full on CF 9 dev environment on Centos 5.6 that has a 10 gig HD footprint and is happy with a gig of ram. It is a tad bit sluggish but on a SSD that would be a non issue. Of course YMMV +1 for WebsiteSpark. My only qualm with their offerings is that the servers are the web versions, and will not mirror a standard environment. LTIL that is. HTH G!
