Both of these little girls have big attitudes, can’t you tell? Cute though, aren’t they?

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 officially changed the start and end dates for Daylight Savings Time (DST) in the US this year (2007). DST started at 2:00AM on the 2nd Sunday in March (03/11/2007) and ends the 1st Sunday in November (11/04/2007). These dates will affect all versions of ColdFusion (5.0-MX 7).

I admit I’m a little late applying this patch but oh well. Here are the steps I took to update CFMX7.

Download the Java 2 SDK 1.4.2_11. Run the install and place it (to simplify the path) in the root of your C: drive (c:\j2sdk1.4.2_11 for example)

Now you need to update the JVM that shipped with ColdFusion. To do this you need to edit one line in the jvm.config file. The jvm.config is where VM configuration settings are stored and is located in the cf_root\runtime\bin directory for the single server configuration and jrun_root\bin directory for the multiserver configuration of ColdFusion using JRun as the application server. The jvm.config recognizes an argument called “java.home”. The “java.home” argument accepts a value of the path to your JRE. For example:java.home=C:/CFusionMX7/runtime/jre. When you upgrade your JVM, this argument must reflect the path to your new JRE. For example: java.home=C:/j2sdk1.4.2_11/jre.

Restart all your Coldfusion services and download and run the dstDate.cfm script to test that everything works.

The following table displays the results of a properly patchedColdFusion MX configuration:

A friend of mine sent me this email and it sent chills up my spine.

“At the moment there seems to be an extremely unhealthy obsession in software with the concept of architecture. A colleague of mine, a recent graduate, told me he wished to become a software architect. He was drawn to the glamour of being able to come up with grandiose ideas - sweeping generalized designs, creating presentations to audiences of acronym addicts, writing esoteric academic papers, speaking at conferences attended by headless engineers on company expense accounts hungrily seeking out this year’s grail, and creating e-mails with huge cc lists from people whose signature footer is more interesting than the content. I tried to re-orient him into actually doing some coding, to join a team that has a good product and keen users both of whom are pushing requirements forward, to no avail. Somehow the lure of being an architecture astronaut was too strong and I lost him to the dark side. (more…)

I’ve had it up to here! While Windows Vista is cool and has some very neat new features, I could not take it anymore. It was killing my box! I could not click on anything without the pc choking and the system fan kicking in and all my window turning white for several seconds. My box is not the latest and greatest but it is by far not a wimp either. I was ready to throw the thing out the window. So I paid a visit to my very good friend “format c:” and reinstalled the trusted Windows XP MCE 2005 and my pc thanked me with a sigh of relief. The next upgrade I make with be of the fruity version, say maybe an Apple? Or maybe I should just run one of those fancy new web OSs and let every pc in the world be my pc.
