I want to touch on a subject that I know that not many people actually take into consideration, and that is how to deal with errors and other problems on the server when being called by a remote client call.
I am going to state that I am defining any call made as either a web service, remote procedure call, rest calls that is either from a client like a JavaScript call or even Flash, Flex or anything else.
So how do we handle them, should we report them to the caller or should we just log the call somehow on the server.

Today we had an interesting discussion on this very subject, now we already have one in place. Yet we have varying opinions on why we should do something, but nothing really concrete as the real truth as to why it should be this or that way. I personally have grown to love the fact that the beginning of a block is on the same line as the method, component class or loops etc. My logic behind this is that it is neater, doesn't clutter the workspace and fairly easy to read.
However my logic just doesn't end there.

I thought I would post this very quick Ajax tutorial and how easy it is to use, without using any extra frameworks or JavaScript libraries that don't already come with ColdFusion.

Today I want to finish of a blog post that I started a little while ago, and give a run down on how it was constructed.

As most of you might have noticed I have put a new theme up on my blog, which wasn't without some challenges when I accidently broke the RSS feed :-(
I had been refactoring a lot of code to minimise the amount of code duplication as much as possible, one of the new features to the blog is a twitter feed. Now although the inclusion of this is nothing new, the code behind it uses some to help to reduce the amount of extra code that I write.
Hence a simple Coldbox plugin evolved in helping manage the JavaScript in the Application under the hood.

This week I had the task of trying to fix a site that was moved to another location, and because the database with the sensitive data remained at another location I had to change the JSon methods that I was using.
But I stopped and thought that the amount of work I needed to do, just to fix this was too much there had to be an easier way.
And there was.

Came across this handy little utility today, and it certainly will be going in my arsenal of utilities.

Every now and then you come across something that is amazing, this is no exception and mimics the Mac's X Bar. A lot of work has gone into this little utility and I thought it deserved a write up in here.
