Project News :.

I recently began working with isafe.org to help in authoring guidelines for family oriented websites. The goal is to inform parents and other family members how to make sure that their web site, or any web site that they may appear on, is built in a way to maintain a certain or complete level of anonymity to the public eye.

In essence, these guidelines protect you and your family. If you, anyone you know, or if you know your name or picture is on any kind of website, these guidelines offer helpful suggests on how to make sure you do not fall victim to any sort of internet crimes.

(rough draft)

More information can be gathered by visiting isafe.org or you can download a collection of other guidelines below. These include cyber bullying, email threats, identity theft, intellectual property, internet fraud, malicious code, online personal safety, predator tip, and social networking:

Infinite entities, cfgrid and one cfc to handle the data

While writing SpreadEdit I wanted every entity to be editable via cfgrid.  In particular I thought it would be cool to have one cfc on the back end to process the data from cfgrid no matter what entity it was working with.  With ColdFusion 9 and ORM this proved possible and is pretty cool, check out the screencast.  Code the other side of the embed.

Here is the code for genericGrid.cfc:

<cfcomponent>
 
<cffunction name="getData" access="remote" returnformat="JSON">
     <cfargument name="page" required="true">
     <cfargument name="pageSize" required="true">
     <cfargument name="gridSortColumn" required="true">
     <cfargument name="gridSortDirection" required="true">
     <cfargument name="entity" required="true">
 
     <cfif ! len( arguments.gridSortColumn )>
          <cfset arguments.gridSortColumn = "1">
 
     </cfif>
 
     <cfset local.getTasks = ormExecuteQuery( " FROM #arguments.entity# ORDER BY #arguments.gridSortColumn# #arguments.gridSortDirection#" )>
 
    <cfreturn queryconvertforgrid( entityToQuery( local.getTasks ), Arguments.page, Arguments.pageSize)>
 
</cffunction>
 
<cffunction name="setData" access="remote">
     <cfargument name="action" required="true">
     <cfargument name="row" required="true">
     <cfargument name="changed" required="true">
     <cfargument name="entity" required="true">
     <cfif arguments.action eq "U">
          <cfset local.obj = entityLoad( arguments.entity, arguments.row, true )>
          <cfloop collection="#arguments.changed#" item="local.key">
               <cfinvoke component="#local.obj#" method="set#local.key#">
                    <cfinvokeargument name="#local.key#" value="#arguments.changed[ local.key ]#">
               </cfinvoke>
          </cfloop>
     <cfelseif arguments.action eq "I">
          <cfset local.obj = entityNew( arguments.entity )>
          <cfloop collection="#arguments.row#" item="local.key">
               <cfif local.key neq "CFGRIDROWINDEX">
                    <cfinvoke component="#local.obj#" method="set#local.key#">
                         <cfinvokeargument name="#local.key#" value="#cleaned( arguments.row[ local.key ] )#">
                    </cfinvoke>
               </cfif>
          </cfloop>
     </cfif>
     <cfset entitySave( local.obj )>
</cffunction>
 
<cffunction name="cleaned" access="private" >
     <cfargument name="string" required="true">
     <cfset var ret = arguments.string>
     <!--- check for date --->
     <cfif reFind( "[[:digit:]]{4}-[[:digit:]]{2}-[[:digit:]]{2}T[[:digit:]]{2}:[[:digit:]]{2}:[[:digit:]]{2}",
               ret )>
          <cfset ret = rereplaceNoCase( ret, "T", " " )>
     </cfif>
     <cfreturn ret>
</cffunction>
 
 
</cfcomponent>

Day two with FW/1
Playing around with FW/1 today I decided to take a look at the differences at how services differ from working with domain objects.  Skimming through the FW/1 documentation I did notice the framework has a built in function to populate a bean, namely the fw.populate() function.  Calling a bean (an object with getter/setter methods) is [...]

How much memory does my ColdFusion variable really use? Part III
Finally, nearly the last part (there's one more coming...). In part II I talked about the different problems we'd run into using the instrumentation code out-of-the-box without modifying it for the special scenario of using it to size ColdFusion variables

How much memory does my ColdFusion variable really use? – Part III is a post from: Blog in Black

Why MMOs aren't fun...
Why can MMOs leave you with the worst experience of any gaming genre? The "MM" part. Massively multiplayer games leave plenty of room for you to play with total douchebags. The guys that find it fun to ruin experience of folks new to the game. A game could be the funnest game ever created, but if a level 60 is running around the level 3 area, killing all the monsters before the level 3s can, what's the fun? At your level, killing those level 3 rats is all there is in the game for you. If they're all dead, you get frustrated and quit playing. [More]

Amex: Make Your Passwords Secure, Just Not Too Secure
I reset online passwords regularly (as should everyone). And I approve of password restrictions (minimum lengths, no reuse, at least one digit and one uppercase, etc.). But, as you can see in this validation screen, American Express apparently does not want passwords to be *too* secure! FAIL!
