We have been slowly migrating databases from SQL 2000 to 2005, and as we do so we find that the Full Text Catalog isn't brought over into 2005. This causes lots of issues, one being backup stops working.
So how do you get rid of them?
A colleague asked me today about how he could dump out a jQuery object and find out what was in it.
There are 2 ways I know of right now.
1) AjaxCFC contains a js file call dump.js and dDumper.js include these in your page, then use
The output is appended to the bottom of the HTML in the page, so you may have to scroll down a bit.
2) is download and use the jQuery dump plugin
This plugin looks exactly like a ColdFusion dump table.
I just took a trip around on CVSDude, and had a look at their testimonials page. We use them for source control, outsourcing it is so much easier than doing it at work or home your self, and they have excellent rates.
Anyhow - I noticed that my quote, made while at a small (but excellent) web shop in Sydney (www.red5.com.au) has been placed at the top of the page amongst the likes of the BBC and Stanford University.
Guys, once again - thanks a lot, you are really providing a wonderful service. If you want to try it out too check out CVSDude (!Affiliate Link!) for some awesome Subversion Source Control Hosting.
Meraki announced Tuesday that they have sealed the deal on USD $2 million to help the FreeTheNet cause in San Francisco. Watch this with interest folks, it has been attempted before and failed. If they succeed the story will live on as the pioneer of free wifi in metropolitan areas.
This is only a good thing, and more. If this model can actually take off, hand held devices such as mobile phones with dual mode gsm/wifi, will be given a massive boost, and the community as a whole will be helped up the technological ladder. Not to mention that nerds everywhere in free wifi land will rejoice.
You can't beat pedigree like that! Merki creates a wireless mesh network, meaning that the more nodes you add to the network the stronger it will become. San Francisco is fast becoming a free internet zone, with Meraki and the community starting to cover residential areas with Meraki mesh networks.
They provide a number of options, the standard set up gets you a piece of hardware, that you plugin, set up, place on a map and join to an existing network if there is already one nearby. You can set up unrestricted access for your computers, iPhone, handheld device, fridge etc, and limit the speed and usage of users of the free segment.
I have been following Apple and its range of Mac Books for a couple of years now as I have been curious how they are developing and the sudden market uptake between my colleagues and peers in the development world.
If you are looking at a purchase of any Apple product then go and check out the Mac Buyers Guide on macrumours.com. In the 12 months that its been in my book marks I have been watching their predictions, with some interest as my next laptop purchase will be a Mac Book Pro.
SQL server has always had difficulty with its backup and maintenance plans in removing old backups. Until now this has been a major issue on some of our servers, each month someone has to go through the backup folder and remove the old Transaction Log and Full Backup folders.
No longer - Robocopy to the rescue! Its simple but oh so efficient. (I know there are many different ways to do this, Perl/ANT etc however this is what I have available on the server)

Built in PHP, using Shop Script, and a templated design.
I figured that it was about time to do something about my image. I haven't yet had a hair cut, but lets not get ahead of ourselves here. I have wanted to get a logo and some sort of fancy designed site for a while, but time and artistic talent (yay developer art!) conspires against me.
A very talented designer colleague of mine needed some nerd help on his site and in return I asked him to do some work for me. Perhaps he could help out and sort my design out on this site.
I am not indecisive as such, but when it comes to things of an arty nature I don't think I trust myself. With your help, I think we should be able to come up with a funky logo. So let's get to it.
We are about to upgrade our ColdFusion 7 servers to 8 Enterprise, and that's hugely exciting, but another story. Coldfusion 8 enterprise comes with the Performance monitor, a Flex based app that is rolled into the CF administrator with access to the CFC's too if you don't like the app Adobe built.
However if you aren't on Enterprise, or on an earlier version of ColdFusion then you don't get this kind of cool monitoring built in. I just had a really interesting read of Using JConsole to monitor ColdFusion's JVM by Dan G. Switzer, and how he hooked up JConsole to CF. I will be giving this a go because we still run a couple of ColdFusion 7 standard servers.
Other choices you have are some commercial products like Fusion ReactorSeeFusion
