Just received two of Sun's 24TB Sun Fire x4500 Thumper boxes! The plan (at least right now) is to run SMB and NFS shares so the folks in our media studios can actually put their info on something a bit more stable than the local macs. We have a...

I've been knocked out by a really bad cold the last couple of weeks and I'm just starting to get things back to normal. I did want to send a quick post on the status of the SolColdfusion project. After seeing Ray's Seeker project, it reminded me that...

I've been playing with some form validation stuff for CF. I had been usign , but I wanted the HTML interface to act a bit more like the Flash interface, but I don't really want to use Flash. I've also been doing a lot more work with some of the DHTML...

I was setting my computer up for a database systems class I'm taking this semester. I got to the point of getting PostgreSQL 8.1, pgAdmin III, and the JDBC drivers installed, but I couldn't figure out how to connect to the darn thing. I knew it...
