If you could get a bufferedImage from something like this:

You'd pretty much be a go

 Yeah no, not image resizing, manipulating as such but creating completely
 new images from text, shapes, background colours etc. I was thinking of
 creating a component that converted html content into an image which would
 be nice and simple to use and I might find other uses for it in the future
 thus the term generic. I'm currently converting svg into jpg's using batik
 but wanted something more multi purpose, more 'generic'. A direct html to
 image convertor using java is what I would like to get going wrapped up in a
 simple easy to use cfc. The hard part is finding a java html renderer that
 can do more then java's basicHTML. Jazilla is buggy, I can't find the source
 code / api documentation for HotJava, etc. but I'm still looking.

 Have you done something similiar before?

Its also a question of where your knowledge is at

It takes me 10 minutes to roll my own Java image manipulations.  If
you have no knowledge of Java, then that $75 is going to be a very
valuable investment in the case of your time.

2006-10-12 Thread Matt Voerman

Hey Guys,
Whilst we're all having such a great time chewing the WebDU fat I
thought i'd just throw my 2 cents worth into the mix...

First up I think a lot of you guys are missing the point (except maybe
Geoff, Robin and Darren). WebDU IS NOT AN ADOBE CONFERENCE! Yes Adobe
is the major sponsor, and yes most of the sessions feature Adobe
products. But for those of you who have missed it being mentioned at
least 3 or 4 times earlier WebDU is an independent conference run by an
independent company called Daemon who are located in Sydney. If you
want to attend an Adobe conference then be sure to visit
http://events.adobe.co.uk/events/cgi/main.cgi?country=pa and check out
one of the many events/conferences coming soon to a city near you -
even Melbourne gets a gernsey. If you have an issue with Adobe not
supporting your product or town - TAKE IT UP WITH THEM and stop wasting
everyone's time whinging about WebDU!

Dale Fraser wrote:
The cost comes in to question where you wish to send multiple people.
 If I want to send 3 people to WebDu then I have no hope of getting that
 approved with flights / accommodation. It adds up and the business will
 question why they all need to go. If it was in Melbourne I would have no 
 issue.

Dale, if you think that 1 x trip to MAX is CHEAPER than 4 x trips to
WebDU then I want some of the drugs you've been smoking. I'd hazard a
guess that an 'average' trip to MAX for a single punter including
airfare, accom and conference ticket (not including gambling and
bordello visits) would be around 5K. By my 'rough' guestimates 4 x
WebDU tickets from Melbourne would set you back a tad over 1K a head.
Sounds more like you just don't know how to formulate a strong enough
argument to get your team up to Sydney (despite it being cheaper than
your trip to MAX).

Dale Fraser wrote:
Having the entire IT section out interstate doesn't help the problem.

Mate, your IT guys are at a conference! So whether the conference is in
town, out of town, out of state or out of the country - they're still
away from the office so what's the bloody difference?! The fact of the
matter is that they're not in the building to fix any problems.

Bjorn Schultheiss wrote:

I'm not too sure which planet you've been living on Bjorn, but anyone
who's paid even the slightest bit of attention to anything
Macromedia/Adobe related over the last 4 years knows about MXDU/WebDU.
It has a reputation second to none as being one of the top
Adobe/Macromedia flavoured conferences in this region (let alone the
world). I really don't see how moving it round the country would
increase its awareness/exposure. That would simply mean different
people who wouldn't ordinarily travel to Sydney might be able to see
it. Conversely people living in Sydney might not travel to what ever
city it was in which kind of defeats the whole end purpose of 'raising
its awareness' (i.e. getting more people to attend).

2006-10-12 Thread Barry Beattie

just to pick up on Matt Voermans' point of

WebDU IS NOT AN ADOBE CONFERENCE!

and forgive me for sounding like an old Hippie but

*_WE_* are the conference!

WE as attendees create the vibe
WE as interested parties drive the subject matter (call for papers)
WE as participants prepare the presentations and try them out at our
forgiving local user group meetings beforehand
WE do the networking and schmoosing
WE decide just how much (or little) we get out of the thing.
WE as a community decide if it lives or dies (by supporting it or not)

Adobe, Microsoft, Rocketboots, and the other sponsers are comming
along for the ride. That's very different to the Microsoft roadshows
(or Adobe's for that matter)

should I break into the tired old paraphrasing of Ask not what your
CF community can do for you... etc? nah, I guess not. but you get the
point.

[cfaussie] Timely FusionDebugger support

2006-10-12 Thread Chris Velevitch

I just got a call from FusionDebugger support. I wasn't expecting this
call, only waiting for an email response. They're obviously keen on
getting the issue resolved quickly, which they did, otherwise it would
have taken a few days of emailing back-and-forth.

Within an hour via desktop sharing we determined the issue. If you
have installed the multi-server edition (Enterprise) and you have the
JRun Admin server running as well a CF Instance, the jvm.conf file
changes applies to all instances. Unfortunately, it's the JRun Admin
instance that gets to own the debug port that FusionDebugger is
listening on. By stopping the JRun Admin server, coldfusion can then
own the debug port and FusionDebugger runs fine. This problem also
occurs in their Fusion-Reactor product, but have only just recently
determined the issue. I should receiving a more elegant solution
shortly, but it the meantime, stopping JRun Admin will work.

Phone calls form Germany are cheap compared to a loss of a potential
sale. My thanks goes to FusionDebugger support for taking the
initiative of phoning me.

Right on Barry!

I can feel the love growing in this thread as we speak.

Those of you who there for the original love-in back in 2003 will know
that MXDU/WebDU has ALWAYS been about the people and the community (as
opposed to the sponsors).

The fact that it isn't a corporate (read Adobe/Micorsoft) conference is
one of the main reasons why it's such a great gig. There's no hidden
marketing/sales agendas. Just great people from around Australia, and
the world, sharing their love (and knowledge) of web software.

I have been watching this thread most of the day and just thought I would
tell a few truths.

1. It would be very hard for Geoff and I to run the conference in another
state without additional help within that state.  I admit it would be
wonderful to spread the conference around 'like a circus' but this would
also involve more expense as we would not have the facilities and resources
at hand if we were away from our office in Sydney.

2. The ticket pricing will be finalized shortly and there will be no huge
increases, if any.

3. The New Hilton is a fabulous venue, I am responsible for the venue change
and you will not be disappointed.

4. WebDu is going to be fantastic next year - bigger and better and we hope
you can make it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to have a gateway set up and able to

3. The New Hilton is a fabulous venue, I am responsible for the venue change

[cfaussie] Re: Timely FusionDebugger support

2006-10-12 Thread Charlie Arehart

Yes, I'm glad to see that they did that. I was about to propose it myself. 

Now, I want to say something to them if they're reading this, and to you
(since you said in an earlier note that you had read all the support
articles and docs). This challenge with the default setup of multiple Jrun
instances is indeed a well-documented one, both at the bottom of page 23 of
the user guide, as well as at: 

http://www.fusion-reactor.com/fusiondebug/support-fusionDebugOnMultiServer.h
tml (which is pointed to from the support.html page)

That said, it's understandable that you may not have connected the
references to that in the User Guide and the support page to this being a
problem with breakpoints firing.

I hope they will consider adding a link to that article from the why
breakpoints don't fire support article.

Those who know me know I have a librarian-like affinity for docs and using
them :-), but I do realize that even an enthusiastic reader of them can't
always make connections within a large volume of such docs.

Subject: [cfaussie] Timely FusionDebugger support


I just got a call from FusionDebugger support. I wasn't expecting this call,
only waiting for an email response. They're obviously keen on getting the
issue resolved quickly, which they did, otherwise it would have taken a few
days of emailing back-and-forth.

Within an hour via desktop sharing we determined the issue. If you have
installed the multi-server edition (Enterprise) and you have the JRun Admin
server running as well a CF Instance, the jvm.conf file changes applies to
all instances. Unfortunately, it's the JRun Admin instance that gets to own
the debug port that FusionDebugger is listening on. By stopping the JRun
Admin server, coldfusion can then own the debug port and FusionDebugger runs
fine. This problem also occurs in their Fusion-Reactor product, but have
only just recently determined the issue. I should receiving a more elegant
solution shortly, but it the meantime, stopping JRun Admin will work.

Phone calls form Germany are cheap compared to a loss of a potential sale.
My thanks goes to FusionDebugger support for taking the initiative of
phoning me.

[cfaussie] Re: webDU - I hope I can make it next year!

2006-10-12 Thread Charlie Arehart

Thanks for asking, Brett. :-) I would absolutely love to come. It's been 5
years since I was last there (honeymoon) and 10 since I lived there (in
sunny Canberra).

But I'm now an independent (which means no one to pay my way), so I have to
weigh it carefully. I'm in Atlanta GA, so the airfare would be about
US$1500, then add on hotel, meals, etc.

I did see that Geoff has kindly offers the notion of day-long and half-day
seminars, in which he'll share the profit to offset speaker travel costs.
That's very encouraging, and I was looking forward to seeing more about
that. 

I've also just started doing a day-long seminar on FusionDebug and
FusionReactor in conjunction with the guys from Intergral, which we may be
able to bring to the event. We may do that separately from the event, and
might even bring it around the country if there was interest--in a nod to
the calls here for traveling circuses :-) We currently have just scheduled
the first two for Europe early in November:
http://www.fusion-reactor.com/fastTrack.html

But I've always wanted to come to the event. And I have plenty of other
topics besides FD to propose, either for a session or for half/day-long
seminars. And perhaps I might also be able to promote and arrange some
on-site consulting gigs to help justify the cost. As I've only recently gone
back on my own, I don't have a clear resource to offer that describes the
consulting I can offer. I don't mean traditional building apps but instead
helping build up developers and/or the environment, helping solve problems
and improving productivity. I know that sounds kind of vague, so hard to
sell at this point. :-)

Hey Guys,
Whilst we're all having such a great time chewing the WebDU fat I thought
i'd just throw my 2 cents worth into the mix...

First up I think a lot of you guys are missing the point (except maybe
Geoff, Robin and Darren). WebDU IS NOT AN ADOBE CONFERENCE! Yes Adobe is the
major sponsor, and yes most of the sessions feature Adobe products. But for
those of you who have missed it being mentioned at least 3 or 4 times
earlier WebDU is an independent conference run by an independent company
called Daemon who are located in Sydney. If you want to attend an Adobe
conference then be sure to visit
http://events.adobe.co.uk/events/cgi/main.cgi?country=pa and check out one
of the many events/conferences coming soon to a city near you - even
Melbourne gets a gernsey. If you have an issue with Adobe not supporting
your product or town - TAKE IT UP WITH THEM and stop wasting everyone's time
whinging about WebDU!

Dale Fraser wrote:
The cost comes in to question where you wish to send multiple people.
 If I want to send 3 people to WebDu then I have no hope of getting 
that  approved with flights / accommodation. It adds up and the 
business will  question why they all need to go. If it was in Melbourne I
would have no issue.

Dale, if you think that 1 x trip to MAX is CHEAPER than 4 x trips to WebDU
then I want some of the drugs you've been smoking. I'd hazard a guess that
an 'average' trip to MAX for a single punter including airfare, accom and
conference ticket (not including gambling and bordello visits) would be
around 5K. By my 'rough' guestimates 4 x WebDU tickets from Melbourne would
set you back a tad over 1K a head.
Sounds more like you just don't know how to formulate a strong enough
argument to get your team up to Sydney (despite it being cheaper than your
trip to MAX).

Dale Fraser wrote:
Having the entire IT section out interstate doesn't help the problem.

Mate, your IT guys are at a conference! So whether the conference is in
town, out of town, out of state or out of the country - they're still away
from the office so what's the bloody difference?! The fact of the matter is
that they're not in the building to fix any problems.

Bjorn Schultheiss wrote:
 moving the circus around Australia it will only create better awareness of
the event.

I'm not too sure which planet you've been living on Bjorn, but anyone who's
paid even the slightest bit of attention to anything Macromedia/Adobe
related over the last 4 years knows about MXDU/WebDU.
It has a reputation second to none as being one of the top Adobe/Macromedia
flavoured conferences in this region (let alone the world). I really don't
see how moving it round the country would increase its awareness/exposure.
That would simply mean different people who wouldn't ordinarily travel to
Sydney might be able to see it. Conversely people living in Sydney might not
travel to what ever city it was in which kind of defeats the whole end
purpose of 'raising its awareness' (i.e. getting more people to attend).

The setup was the issue. However another project a page didn't actually

Surely thats gold.
That way you Melbournites get to see some of the WebDU love and I get to see the sessions i missed due to the hangover I had from drinking at the bar the night before based on the funds you melbournites donated for the breeze preso itself.

I agree with Dale too. I've attended the first conference in 2003. At that time, I'd had to get our company's CEO to approve my interstate travelling because it's not in Melbourne. So I've given up following events since it was too much for me. 


I hope Adobe will organise similar events like Macromedia did in every state as I understand it's impossible for Daemon.
