 I think i remember seeing that job being advertised, and skipping
 straight over it because of the location.

I had a closer look (just about every time it appeared) because it was
right up my alley with TAFE/training/education, but came to the same
conclusion. I wasn't the only bread-winner in our family at the time.

Was it someone here (or on cfjobs) I was talking two who had problems
finding CF people in Newcastle (and they switched to .NET because of
it)? Newcastle Uni perhaps (memory ain't what it used to be)? You'd
think with a university you could grow your own...

Mark,

The Dubbo distance issue would definitely have been the issue, why didn't
you look to hire a remote worker?
Does the government only allow a worker to be within that area or?

Hi Everyone,

We did think Dubbo could be an issue which is why we expanded the
location to anywhere in our region (roughly around Lithgow through to
Broken Hill, QLD border down to around Cowra etc).  The idea was that
for people in Sydney, especially Western Sydney, that it wouldn’t be
much of a hike to a location like Lithgow.  But I guess anyone who had
already seen the ads probably didn’t look again to see it was no
longer Dubbo based.

The suggestion of someone working remotely was knocked on the head as
it was considered unworkable for this type of job.  I'm not saying
that I agree or disagree with this but it was not an option
unfortunately.

@Mike
That really sucks and would not have been a nice position to be in.
With us, once the paperwork is in place and signed off (very important
step) there wouldn’t be any “oh that shouldn’t be there” type of
issues with employment.

While no sector is 100% secure and government jobs are not as secure
as they once were, in our region I can only think of one staff member
who lost their job in the 13 years I’ve been here.   Our unit always
survives restructures …. sorry I mean workforce realignments 

@Barry
One of the large Sydney TAFE Institutes replaced CF with .NET after
having continual problems trying to recruit CF developers.

There was also a very long discussion on here last year after JB Hi-Fi
started doing the same thing.

Cheers
Mark

[cfaussie] CFChart X axis value formatting

2011-03-17 Thread raiola
Hi I have creating line graphs using cf charge and the dates are on the x
axis

 

the date values in the sql tables being drawn on in the chart are datetime
format  and as a result I am having the date and time appearing on the x
axis for each point on the chart

 

as their a way I can alter the display format of the values similar what is
done using the DateFromat() do that  my dates along the x axis only show in
a month-year eg  jan-11 rather than 01/01/11 10:55.00AM

RE: [cfaussie] CFChart X axis value formatting

2011-03-17 Thread Scott Thornton
Hello,

Couldn't you summarise your data in your query the first place?

eg:
select
   left(datename(month,  my_date ),3) +'-'+ datename( year, my_date) as period,
  count( of something ) as my_count
from
  my_table
group by
  left(datename(month,  my_date ),3) +'-'+ datename( year, my_date)

( MS SQL )

which would return
Dec-1989 etc?

much quicker imo.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Daily Rate

2011-03-17 Thread Mike Kear
Just for the record,  I'm a freelancer,   I tend to take on overflow
and short term work, and I'm available most of the time.  Nearly all
the jobs I usually have on my plate are the kind that can be moved
aside or delayed or done out of normal business hours to accommodate
urgent work.  (e.g. rebuild a shopping cart by August)

I have experience with every version of ColdFusion since CF4.0  and CF
programming has been my primary source of income for close on 15
years.

I am always looking for work.   I am always gainfully employed, but
never stop looking for work to do.

If you're interested,  (and NOT a recruiter)  I can send a resume and
discuss a project, or part of a project you might have that can use my
skills.

Cheers
