Hi All,

I just wanted to announce to the list that I've recently launched some
new forums for the onTap framework. You can all check them out at:

http://www.turnkey.to/ontap/forum

They'll be available soon for a nominal fee of $20-25 just to help
cover the cost of hosting for the framework. For right now I just want
to make people aware of them and get some noise on them so I can
identify any more bugs that need to be fixed before anyone buys them
and to identify any other ways I can improve the interface.

Re: CF Jukebox redux - what browsers to support.

Hmm

First of all nice site.Where in KY? -- We spent some time,a while 
back in Loolvul.

One of the best restaurants I have ever seen -- Orleans House.

Anyway.

1) The initial page (menu of thumbnails) takes about 28 sec to load.
2) I never could get any thumbnail to show the full-size pic.
3) The videos loaded and started in about 5-10 seconds each.
4) there was no sound.

Same thing, or less with Mac IE, Mac FireFox, Mac Mozilla, Mac Safari 
-- so I guess that Flash does not totally resolve the browser 
compatibility issue.

when I ran a video (only thing running in that browser), the CPU would 
spike to about 67% and then settle at about 36% (even with the movie 
stopped).

My system, using the, QT plugin only, shows CPU usage less than half
of the above.

I did not need to buy any authoring tools, although QT Pro helps ($29).

I have a fast CPU and a DSL Internet connection.

I was going to bed, but if you want to experiment off-line, let me know!

took about 20 minutes, i made it to send to my grandparents

Re: CF Jukebox redux - what browsers to support.

2004-07-25 Thread dave
it was near lvlle, bardstown but i just moved back home to the real world! (colorado) last week
yeah i had forgotten that i had forgot to put some code in to make the pix work
same code at
http://www.yockeys.com/slipnslide/slipnslideday.html

that video was taken with a cheesy lil $50 pocket camera
http://www.aiptek.com/
 Mini PenCam 1.3
which doesnt have any sound
i took the avi's from the cam, aver - 167 mb and ran them through sorenson squeeze to a flv and pooped each 1 out under 1 mb for dial up
the line i had in ky aver about 14,000 kbs and it came up very quickly. here i have a 3mg line (whoo hoo!) so it runs real good
the only way i have to measure it is monitoring my ram and it doesnt touch it very much at all
running a dell 8250
2.8 mhz
768 mb rdram
xp pro (until tomorrow then its linux, whoo hoo!)

try that other link and see
if u want send me some video and i'll see what i can do with it
i have this premade mp3 that completely rocks (in flash) that runs off xml  is very easy to add new mp3's, takes about 5 minutes to do. I had one up but i took it down, was on gfs site.

id assume if u saved the mp3's in streaming format and instead of using xml to control the playlist, used remoting that would take a huge load of the server. the only real overhead to that would be the stream coming in as the flash player would barely be going.
im doing a site right now that will have a jukebox on the front page. was hoping to finish it before i head to montana next week

im always up 4 some late night messin around, let me know what u have in mind

i owe ya anyways:)

If you installed CFMX under JRun4 in Applications:

1) Get into terminal mode (run /Applications/Utilities/Terminal
2) Start CFMX with:
/Applications/JRun4/bin/jrun -start yourcfmxservername admin

this will start both your and the admin server

after a while the JMC will be available at:
localhost:8000

and your CFMX progs at something like*:
localhost:8101/cfusion/...

*depending on how you installed it -- the JMC will show you the correct 
port

Hi all,

I have a question for you. I'm building an online dictionary with CFMX and 
Access 2000. I'd like to do what Webster's (http://www.m-w.com) does, which 
is: if you search for kaflooey, the results page tells you there's no 
such entry in the dictionary, and they gives you a list of 10 possible 
alternatives, similar in spelling (e.g., kerflooey).

How could that be achieved in CFMX? Any code, tag, or ready-made module 
that would do something like that, which could be added to a dictionary search?

Or, any ideas/pointers/suggestions on how that functionality could be achieved?

I thought verity would index a given folder/directory content, much like a

And, if I'm hosting in someone else's server, do hosting companies in

 H While I'm looking through the site - is there a
 zip/download of the doco for onTap that I can read offline
 at my leisure?

There's a zip of the framework core components which you can install
on your own cf server -- as of right now all the documentation is
cf-driven (it's the framework's first test-case).

http://www.turnkey.to/ontap/docs/projects/ontap.zip

Should also be the first link on the download page.

 Had a quick look and could not see
 anything. There are different plugins and components, I
 guess I'm looking for an offline copy/version of all the
 supporting notes etc. Would be very keen to wrap my head
 around its workings.

Someone else recently mentioned there needing to be a document which
would be a more in-depth overview. The overview page in the
documentation right now is very high-level and explains only the
purpose and some highlights of the framework with links. But the
request was for more of an overview of how to develop an application
from start-to-finish. I'm thinking about how to write something like
this currently, but haven't started actually writing it yet.

I did locate what I believe to be the problem with the site...
something I was doing in the initialization of the security component
which wasn't as well thought out as it ought to have been. Getting
ready to upload a new build of the security component to the server
now.

couple of weeks ago (Paul Vernon,

talks about a dictionary search on several commercial databases (e.g.,

algorythms to match strings. I found several websites mention these strategies:

exactMatch words exactly
prefixMatch prefixes
suffixMatch suffixes
substringMatch substring occurring anywhere in word
rePOSIX 1003.2 regular expressions (-)
re1 Old (basic) regular expressions
fnmatch fnmatch-like (* ? as wildcards) (-)
soundex Match using SOUNDEX algorithm (--)
lev Match words within Levenshtein Distance One
metaphonemetaphone algorithm (--)

Has anyone used any of these systems (or any other way of matching words to 
a dictionary database)? Any ideas/suggestions on how to implement any of 
these (Levenshtein gave me the best results when I tried several searches

RE: searching similar words

2004-07-25 Thread Paul Vernon
Hi Roberto,

 
Those search techniques are built into the dictionary server software. The
RFC for dictionary servers can be found here...

 
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2229.html

 
There are lots of links to C, Java, Perl and Python implementations of
dictionary servers here

 
http://www.dict.org/links.html

 
You should be able to pick up some of the techniques to do what you want by
going over the code

 
Alternatively, if you have the capability to run a Linux box, just host your
own dictionaries on a pre-built server thats built to the RFC!

Re: searching similar words

2004-07-25 Thread Dick Applebaum
Verity, Lucene and some others have stemming which somewhat resolves 
singulars and plurals

If you are looking for homonyms, synonyms you need a thesaurus.

I've used Soundex, quite extensively -- many state  local govts use 
this for things like name searches:

Schmidt, Smith, Smythe give the same results.

But Pfiffer and Fiffer resolve to different soundex codes.

AFAIR, soundex is built into several dbs including SQL-Server.

But, it has been my experience, that unless you are a professional 
searcher, like a librarian, these advanced search methods will be 
used rarely.

There is one type of searching that offers a lot of possibility to 
rapid get the user the results he seeks -- a concordance with the 
output as a KWIC index.

You do a multiple word (or multiple partial word) search and each 
result is shown on a line with context and search (key) words 
highlighted. A hit will generate multiple lines. The lines are sorted 
and presented so each line pivots around one key word, with the others 
highlighted.

It is verbose  butt-ugly, but you can rapidly run your finger (cursor) 
down the pivot word, see it in context with the other words, and find 
the hit you want,

Amazon, qoogle, and some other sites claim to offer KWIC, but they 
don't really -- they just offer a multi-word search and highlight the 
words within a body of text.It is very difficult to compare the 
validity of one hit with another,They find the hits quickly, but the 
user must dig thru non-contiguous paragraphs to evaluate them. If they 
presented the hits in a KWIC index it would be easy for the user.

Anyway, google for concordance and KWIC (KWAC and KWOC are just 
variants).

 tangentially
talks about a dictionary search on several commercial databases (e.g.,
Webster, CIA factbook, etc.). They seem to be using a number of 
 alternative
algorythms to match strings. I found several websites mention these 
 strategies:

 exact  Match words exactly
 prefix Match prefixes
 suffix Match suffixes
 substring  Match substring occurring anywhere in word
 re POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions (-)
 re1 Old (basic) regular expressions
 fnmatch    fnmatch-like (* ? as wildcards) (-)
 soundex    Match using SOUNDEX algorithm (--)
 lev Match words within Levenshtein Distance One
 metaphone  metaphone algorithm (--)

Has anyone used any of these systems (or any other way of matching 
 words to
a dictionary database)? Any ideas/suggestions on how to implement any 
 of
these (Levenshtein gave me the best results when I tried several 
 searches
at  http://www.web-architect.co.uk/cfx_dict.cfm)

Re: searching similar words

2004-07-25 Thread powell
MSSQL, and some other SQL databases, provide the SOUNDEX function, which would help you to do matches against words that have a similar pronunciation.

Hi all,

I have a question for you. I'm building an online dictionary with CFMX and 
Access 2000. I'd like to do what Webster's (http://www.m-w.com) does, which 
is: if you search for kaflooey, the results page tells you there's no 
such entry in the dictionary, and they gives you a list of 10 possible 
alternatives, similar in spelling (e.g., kerflooey).

How could that be achieved in CFMX? Any code, tag, or ready-made module 
that would do something like that, which could be added to a dictionary search?

Or, any ideas/pointers/suggestions on how that functionality could be achieved?

Thanks in advance,

Re: CF Jukebox redux

2004-07-25 Thread JB McMichael
I wrote a jukebox in CF a couple of years ago.I don't know if I ever 
actually sent it to anyone, but here is the code if you want it.

http://kno-where.com/stuff/jukebox.zip

It works a little differently then yours does, but, if you can get any 
use out of it, it would make me happy.Just let me know if you can get 
anything out of it.

Thanks

Thanks for the answer. I've been looking at those and they seem to be 
something that needs some time to grasp (at least for someone like me:-))

Although I have not come up with any CF implementation so far that would 
use SOUNDEX or Levenshtein, I did find a UDF at 
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=1067that calculates the Levenshtein 
distance for two strings. Does anyone think that this could be a possible 
solution, adapted/modified to take terms from a database and perform a 
comparison to index approximate hits?

Thanks for any opinions,

dick i only have about 5 minutes and i'll try to respond properly later this evening
but take a look at this and see what kind of overhead this creates
simple mp3 flash player
with a xml playlist
the swf is only 7kbs
these mp3's werent saved for streaming just converted in mp3pro
so could only be improved
this isnt mine btw~ but this is the one i like the best
and took about 5 minutes to make
can also be done dynamically
can be customized as well

 Off the top of my head, isn't this built right into Verity?I'd start by
 exploring that avenue.

I thought verity would index a given folder/directory content, much like a
search engine. Does it also do the same with DB contents, checking for
alternative words/spelling?

And, if I'm hosting in someone else's server, do hosting companies in
general give you access to verity?

Thanks,

I plan on open-sourcing mine -- when it is a little further along

I will ask before I use any of your stuff

Re: A script to Prevent SQL Injection: feedback/suggestions?

2004-07-25 Thread Andrew Grosset
Hi Matt,

I looked at the CF MX 6.1 doc's for HTMLEditFormat: 

 Replaces special characters in a string with their HTML-escaped equivalents. 
HTML-escaped string string. Returns are removed from string. Special characters (for example,   ) are escaped.  

Personally I think that if you want to check query strings then using codecleaner to check and compare and stop processing is the way to go. 

Good security article here:

 
http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn17502.htm 

Andrew.



 I think it might have been me!

Hi Andrew,

Thats what I remembered but wasn't 100% :-)

Interesting thread indeed. Can htmleditformat be relied upon as a
replacement for the url check?I use all this security stuff pretty
religiously but insofar as being able to account for as much as
possible... not my strong suit.

Re: CF Jukebox redux - what browsers to support.

2004-07-25 Thread Dick Applebaum
Nice interface -- but the FF and FR didn't work.

And, I prefer a scrolling list of songs, rather than having to press a 
button to see which song it hides.This would not be acceptable with 
any more than a few songs -- and what about albums

It does make my point about the overhead of Flash:

I opened up a separate browser (mozilla)

Only 1 window open, I ran several tests, first one then the other

QuickTime Flash Plugin
Plugin  SWF
---

2-8% CPU20-24 % CPUSong loaded, but stopped
9-13 % CPU28-33 % CPUsong fully loaded  playing

15-25 % CPUNAPlaying SMIL Playlist: Audio,
 Pictures and streaming text
	(3 parallel sources)
6-9% CPUNAABOVE loaded, but stopped

25-30 % CPUNAPlaying 720x480 movie with
 soundtrack  Timecode track
5-8% CPUNAAbove loaded, but stopped

Another way to say this is That the Flash version used 2-3 times the 
CPU cycles as the QT plugin.

The Flash controls had a sticky feeling -- the QT did not.

What continues to bother me about Flash is the high number of CPU 
cycles it uses when sitting idle, waiting for work, with the Flash 
window not even visible.

OT: Excel ?

2004-07-25 Thread Michael T. Tangorre
Does anyone know how to dynamically add rows in excel?

Here is what I have. I have a queue simulation setup in excel whereby in a
cell you specify the number of customers as an interger. So for instance,
500. When I put that number in there I would to dynamically create 500 rows.
Now for the kicker, I have one row setup already, customer 1. All the
formulas are in this row's columns So all new rows should be based on
the formulas from customer row #1. Is this possible?

I have been reading simulation info on google all day, but can't figure it
out..

TIA,

Mike

Re: Session-Based CFC Usage Across Clusters

2004-07-25 Thread Barney Boisvert
 Can you clarify what you mean by shared CFC instance?Do you mean in
 the application scope?
 
 If so, do you then lock each call to the shared CFC method?

Yeah, or perhaps a CFC created on the fly (which obviously isn't
really shared). The point is that the CFC instance isn't tied to the
session in any way.

You don't have to lock the calls to the shared CFC, because the CFC
doesn't have any instance data.The instance data is passed in to
each method call.You will have to lock any place you'd have to lock
using a session-scoped CFC (to deal with race conditions between
multiple requests to the same session, such as often happens when
loading framesets), but no special locking for using this method.

http://www.dofactory.com/Patterns/PatternFlyweight.aspx

There's a link to how the Flyweight Pattern works.I'm applying it in
a slightly different way, and for very different reasons, but the
general concept of passing state into the method of a shared instance
is the same.The shared instance part isn't necessary, as I said
above, the important thing is that the instance has no ongoing
relationship to the instance data.
