When ever I go into Preferences to change a CFEclipse property, I get the following error: "An error has occurred. See error log for more details." I have checked the error log, but nothing jumped out at me. What is weird is, if I push "Apply" it works. If I push "OK" I get the error. This is only on a Mac. Any one also experiencing this?

I am looking for an Image Processing program that can read bubbles or a barcode. What I want to do is read the bubbles or barcode and rename the file to what every the bubble/barcode result is. Any suggestions?

I am creating an application to store IP Address information in it. However, sorting the IP Addresses has brought up a challenge.

I have 5 columns with Status, IP, Node Name, Comments, and Date. Sorting the columns is a piece of cake, but when I sort the IP column by IPs do something like this:

What I want is this:

Any ideas?

***EDIT I didn't want this to get lost in the comments, so here is the solution (for MySQL) I converted from the Internet host address into binary data using function called "INET_ATON".

Today I came across Sava. There are 2 versions for it, a Standard and Express which uses Railo. I decided to try the Express to see what it is all about. Installation for the Express was a breeze. You just unzip and run a bat file and then browse to the demo page. The admin page seems very user friendly. Has anyone else heard of Sava and what do you think of it?

My department will pay for 1 conference a year. As a Coldfusion Developer, which conference would you recommend? I am leaning towards CFUnited because of what I have heard about it. Any thoughts?

*Note, I haven't been to any of the 3 conferences before.

Ray West over at CommunityMX posted an easy way in Coldfusion to detect if a visitor is using a mobile device using the following code:

I have yet to test it, so please let me know if it does work. I heard from a few that it does.

As I have mentioned before, I have started a new job. Our current webserver is running the classic ASP (with Access as it's database, but we do plan to switch to MySQL or MSSQL). Of course, I want to switch it to Coldfusion. I am writing out a proposal to switch to Coldfusion and I am looking for some reasons why we should switch. If anyone can give me some reasons, I will add it to my proposal and once complete, I will post the proposal here so everyone can reference it later.

** UPDATE ** Here are a few bullets on found and came up with:

I am looking for an open source solution for SSL VPN. I would like the connection to be made over the web like Juniper does. Does anyone know of any such solution, Linux or Windows?

I just started a new job and we are currently using MS Access as our database. Yikes!!! Anyways, I have used MySQL in the past, but I was wondering should I give MSSQL a look?

What are the advantages of MSSQL over MySQL, or vice versa?

Well, great news for Spartans. Sparty is on the Wii cover! I am a proud alum today!

I have had the Wii for about 2 weeks now and I have to say, the Wii is incredible. Wii Sports is a lot of fun. The only thing I don't like is that in Tennis and Baseball you can't move around. The Wii does all the movements. Golf and Bowling I think are the best, and Boxing is prolly the worst of all of them, however, it is still ok.

I am currently getting into Zelda now. I have played Zelda since the NES. I think it's the best game series of all time.

Now if only Coldfusion can get me to swing my arms for excercise. Well, I guess programming does when something isn't going right. :)
