I don't know if this is known already or not, but this look serious to me. And its is really easy to re-create.
Here are the steps:

  1. Create a foloder that you will can access from your browser
  2. In that folder create an empty Application.cfc file
  3. Create a CFM file with in it
  4. Run that file from your browser
Voila!
You will get a lot of info.. TOO much actually :)

So... how would you decipher the word COLDFUSION?

I would say it so:

Creativity, Operability, Longevity, Dignity, Flexibility, Usability, Simplicity, Intelligence, Optimality, Notoriety

"Smart Caching" is my try to make the caching process a little bit more inteligent and i've made it on the example of 1ssBlog. It allow the entries to be cached and de-cached automatically based on how often they are viewed.

How it work:
We set the period of time (1 day, 1 hour or 1 minute) and the number of unique views that should happen in that period of time in order the entry to get cached automatically.
So, if we set the period to 1 hour and the number of views to 30, then as soon as an entry will be viewd 30 times in a period of the specified length, the entry will get cached. But if after some time the entry will not get enough views in a period of specified length, the entry will de removed from the cache automaticaly.

Nice and easy, huh? But it make the caching process flexible.

I would like to hear of others think about it.

This updater fix some bugs and:

  • add a couple of new Addons: StatCounter; Google Analytics; Popularity Meter; Rating System.
  • make possible to specify the length of the entry on the main page, including "full entry"
  • allow caching particular static pages for a particular time
  • allow caching particular entries for a particular time
  • "Smart Caching" added. This allow the entries to be cache and de-cached automatically based on how often it has been viewd in the specified period.
  • new tagCloud pod is presented

If anyone before had problems with 1ssBlog because it was shipping only with the script for MS SQL 2005, now it ships with the script for MS SQL 2000

At least that is what say the list of programming languagesgiven by Wikipedia.

Also reading different definitionsfor "programming language"you will come to same conclusion: "A programming language is an artificial language that can be used to control the behavior of a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages are defined by syntactic and semantic rules which describe their structure and meaning respectively. Many programming languages have some form of written specification of their syntax and semantics; some are defined only by an official implementation.

Programming languages are used to facilitate communication about the task of organizing and manipulating information, and to express algorithms precisely. Some authors restrict the term "programming language" to those languages that can express all possible algorithms; sometimes the term "computer language" is used for more limited artificial languages.
"

Now let's see how Wikipedia define ColdFusionitself:
First it say: "This article is about the computer programming language."

And then continue with:
"ColdFusionis an application server and software development framework used for the development of computer software in general, and dynamic web sites in particular. In this regard, ColdFusion is a similar product to Microsoft ASP.NET, JavaServer Pages or PHP."

And finally:
"The primary distinguishing feature of ColdFusion is its associated scripting language, ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML), which compares to JSP, ASP.NET, or PHP and resembles HTML in syntax."

Any more doubts?

I was checking TIOBE Indextoday and guess what... ColdFusion is not there anymore. The answer to it is as follow:
"Richard Bremner pointed out that ColdFusion is not a programming language. It is a framework comparable to JSP and ASP. As a consequence, ColdFusion has been removed from the TIOBE list. All its history has been deleted, which means that the history of the index has changed a bit as well."
I must say it was not too nice they doing it after just few days of me additing the TIOBE Indexpage on this blog. LOL
