Open Source Zip/Unzip Component
Posted on Mar 31, 2005
I wanted to highlight another open-source CF project that I found very useful. It is the Zip/Unzip Component developed by Nate Nielsen. I had the chance to implement this on CCBD.net and it worked very well. In fact, considering that the PDFs I was zipping have a tendency to be very large, I was very surprised at how quickly the tag worked.
A Simple XML Component
Posted on Mar 30, 2005
The code that I am posting here forms the basis for a ColdFusion Component to maintain an employee list in XML.

However, this can be useful for a number of projects and therefore I am posting a generalized version of the code for anyone to use.

It is an odd combination (to me at least) of big beats, punk, 80's new wave - actually, I am not sure how to describe it really...but well worth checking out.
Repurposing data - stripping links
Posted on Mar 23, 2005
I often find that, in my specific job resposibilities, I end up working on things that I feel may never be useful to anyone outside of the specifics of that particular project. I am sure this is not an uncommon to others - but, in the same respect, I have to do it so somebody else out there may have to as well. This is one of those cases. In this case I had two combine and repurpose two existing news applications into a single application - yeah, that sounds like it might be easy but...
