Re: other companies and developers to watch out for

I used to code with Cold Fusion way back (99-'02) but haven't touched it since, but somehow remained a member of jobs-talk, but not of the general CF-Talk, probably because this list gets generally little traffic. So I guess I am getting only half of the conversation. It's obvious to me that Michael has annoyed a lot of people and doesn't seem to care, but at the same time other members are so affected by messages that otherwise seem benign, that it seems the whole situation has devolved into one that isn't on a professional level but a personal one. I wonder, whatever your opinion of Michael is, what good does it do to vent about it in a public forum, other than to blow of some steam (while at the same time presenting an unprofessional/negative aspect of your own demeanor)? Being on the Internet for abour 20 years now (and BBS's before that) has taught me a few things, some of them certainly useless, but a couple of them hopefully more useful. One is that it's hard to guage the tone of someone and easy to misunderstand meaning online due to lack of body language, etc. Because of this I always try to assume the best of intentions. Even if it's hard to see those positive intentions, I often try to keep from responding immediately myself if my reaction is strong and negative. Waiting until that initial emotional reaction has subsided, I can often think much more clearly and respond in a way that is more constructive than reactive. This is not to say that Michael didn't act unprofessionally, but some of the reaction seemed to be just as unprofessional. I did not see most of his messages on this list (cf-jobs-talk) that I can remember, but if I was seeing them on another list and got annoyed, I'd have either - 1) written the moderator to express my concerns, or 2) sent Michael a private note to express my concerns. Many of you may have done these things to no avail, but my final approach would have had 100% success: 3) create an email rule/filter to remove his messages. It's amazing to me that despite filtering technology like this being around for 20+ years, that ppl would still rather get into long arguments than simply opt out of a certain person's messages or discussion topics. This on a forum of highly tech-savvy folks. Since none of you probably recognize my name, it should be evident that I never post on these lists, and probably won't again for a while if ever, but something moved me to post about this (and perhaps I'll regret it later), so that perhaps some perspective from a semi-objective party might be useful in some way to a few of you. I know there's some irony in the fact I'm suggesting people not speak out here about these things and then doing just that, but just know there have been incidents in the past that I've considered commenting on but haven't, so pershaps this is just my one 'gaff' that proves my general practices are better than this exception ;-) This is really the first time if not ever, than in many years (and memory) that I recall posting about an issue like this. I certainly understand annoyance at unprofessional behavior and just idiotic behavior, but I also have experienced a lot of real-life passive aggressive stuff so I sometimes wonder whether some of the vitriol I see online is due to people who feel powerless (or make themselves powerless) to do something about situations in real life that they are annoyed at/offended by/etc. and so this gets transferred to a place they feel a bit more empowered to speak out? Or maybe that's just pop psyche BS, who knows. Anyway, I'll shut up now and hope no one takes this personally (although I'm a bit pessimistic :-( ).

Re: [JOB] Junior CF Developer, New York City
Gentlemen, An employer is offering a position to CF developers. Regardless of the eventual tool set or the range of tools that you can offer, it is a position that is available for an aspiring developer. Let us be satisfied with the continued job offerings for those trying to get more experience with ColdFusion. A battle over subjective opinion of someone who is enthusiastic about the benefits of one tool set over another may be a worth while discussion, but not at the expense of the job advertisement.

If the insert works fine, it may be how you handle different data types. If it continues to elude you and you are comfortable with stored procedures and your database supports them, abstract the insert and see if you can create a generic insert that reduce your CF considerations for the data types by using stored proc params to format your data types. - Original Message - From: Daniel Kessler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 10:40 AM Subject: insert error I've been at this for awhile and I just don't see the error.

Re: insert error
What I was referring to was to output the string and not execute the end result SQL. Create a temporary variable that holds a string that you create, so that you capture the SQL that you would normally execute. At that point, you put the variable to see how the SQL would have executed and analyze it for validity. You can test it manually just by executing it between another cfquery tag block once you are done analyzing the string. - Original Message - From: Daniel Kessler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 12:57 PM Subject: insert error Get the output of one iteration of the insert statement by outputting the end result of the SQL.

Re: Still having problems with encrypt
Les, What are you trying to achieve in the encryption? If you are trying to encrypt a form submission, the data is still passed in plain text prior to the action page. Unless the form submission process resides in a folder that has SSL enabled on it, then you could be doing work for nothing. On the other hand, I use encrypt to create encrypted and generic URL primary keys. foo.cfm?userID=1 would never show in any of my documents or query strings because number 1 would be encrypted before displaying or linking. The only thing necessary after that would be to make sure wherever the userID needed to be process is to decrypt before manipulation of the data.
