CFDocument just showing binary dump

by kai on 17/01/2006

Got a strange issue today. I was running a page with a very simple CFDOCUMENT tag and had a typo in the tag - so ended up with a syntax error. Fixed the error and I got the whole document as a binary dump within the browser window (IE), it didn't make any difference if it was pdf or FlashPaper. But: worked fine in Firefox. Very strange, I checked if the system was on CF 7.0.1, if all hotfixes…

SE P910i-Outlook timezone issue...

by kai on 16/01/2006

This was nearly killing me, aargs. When I got down here to New Zealand I changed the timezone of my laptop computer at home to the local time and changed the timezone of my P910i as well. Well, what happend was that all of my old calendar entries in Outlook on the PC were shifted by basically 12 hours, but that should be expected. I entered all sorts of new appointments in my calendar and somehow…

First steps with Model-Glue

by kai on 14/01/2006

During the last few days I started to get my hands dirty with the Model-Glue framework. To make a long story short: I really, really like it and from my personal point of view it is by far the easiest way to get involved with the idea of using a CF development framework I know about.I've alway wanted to play with Model-Glue but never found the time to do it. Last week I was forced to (as always…

Soccer World Cup

by kai on 08/01/2006

Well, yes - I know. Soccer is pretty much unknown in a lot of countries of this world. But I'm still a German - so I'll have to enjoy soccer, it's somehow in my genes. It's a bit difficult to follow the German Major League (Bundesliga) from New Zealand, especially watching games is nearly impossible. But by using some websites it's at least fairly simple to follow the results. This years Soccer…

Adobe: A new press and marketing agency in Europe

by kai on 08/01/2006

After the merger of Adobe and Macromedia, the new Adobe Central Europe seems to have sent the pink slip to Macromedia Central Europe's press and communication/marketing agency Conosco. That's pretty sad as Conosco did an extremely good job jointly with Stefan Prestele from Macromedia Central Europe. Just the other day I've received the first two press releases via the new agency and - well I…

A new blog in town

by kai on 08/01/2006

There is another new blog in town. At ZeroOne, the company I'm with here in Wellington, we've started a team blog. It's called "the word" due to all the people inquiring about the way our domain-name is spelled (ZeroOne - as the word...)

It will be a blog with eight authors and I'm going to contribute some stuff as well. Nothing else changes, you're still going to get my brain dumps as AgentK over here - if you like or not ;)

Ignite Fusion in the house

by marcus on 07/01/2006

Last monday, I met Ilyas Hamidzai, one of the core developers of Ignite Fusion, in Mönchengladbach. We had a really fun and interesting talk about... err.. everything? :-) To let you know the backgrounds of this meeting: I first got in touch with Ignite Fusion about a year ago due to a mailing list post, so I downloaded it and gave it a try. Without wishing to boast, but I'm sure I'm at least…
