Open BlueDragon on Google Apps Engine – Interesting

Google’s App Engine is something I’ve been wanting to explore for some time and due to generally being busy with other things I’ve never gotten around to it.

Actually, I very very briefly played around with examples very early on but never really tried to develop or actually run anything on Google App Engine.

But in the last year or 2 (time flies!!), since the App Engine began supporting Java possibilities opened up naturally some people in the CF community started exploring the idea of running a CFML engine on GAE.

Adding a favicon to your site

This might seem funny, as I’ve been working with web technologies for about 9 years or so.

But today I think I got one of my first requests to set up a favicon onto a URL.

I gotta say that the entire time I’ve been working in technology, I’ve learned many things on the fly and I’ve gotten quite used to it. While something might take a while to learn depending on what it is (like say Java or C# or something), when it comes to small things we’ve got incredible resources.

Kohana 404 errors

I was putting a site on a production server today and found some very strange errors. At least, I thought they were a bit strange.

The Server is Windows 2003 and IIS6. This is a leased server… leased by a small business I sometimes do work for.

In the development environment I had running, it was a XAMPP set up that used Apache. I knew there could be some slight differences. But MySQL and PHP were very similar releases.
