In Linux/Unix command line you can follow a file with tail -f [filename]. As the file is updated, the screen will update. This is handy for following error logs, etc.
I just learned from a co-worker that the ‘less’ command can do the same thing if you hit shift-F while viewing a file. Apparently less does a lot more than I thought! I think point and click interface is making me soft, I need to ‘man’ up and RTFM on some command line goodies.
$man less

Yesterday I found myself in dire need of a value object for something Flex I’m working on but was feeling too lazy to type it out. I decided to hit Google before writing out the class by hand. I hit this gem for blasting out quick ‘n easy value objects in AS3. Just throw down your list of properties and go!

Thanks Mark Knol, I love saving time and typing!

Alcon is an AS2/AS3 debugger written in Adobe AIR. It doesn’t care what editor, compiler, or OS you are using (yay! a Linux AS3 debugger!). Bryan from Intuitive Media (check muh blog roll) turned me on to it. FlexBuilder can go do it’s thing in Windows/Mac land and I’ll keep doing my thing over here with Linux power! Thanks Hexagon Star!

Guess what! The model-glue framework just released a beta of version 3!
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve been having fund helping the team to organize and publish documentation for the new features in version 3. I am really impressed with how fast I’ve been able to get up to speed with this framework with only a few spare minutes per night and a little reading.
This framework lets parts of your application quite literally write themselves. Customize the results and only write from scratch only when necessary. Less busy work, more results, oh yeah!
New features include:
- Bean Injection
- Typed Events
- Event Generation
- Event.copyToScope()
- Search Engine Safe Urls
- Application.CFC Integration
- Content Caching
- Helpers
- Formats
- Remoting
A summary list of these features can be found at http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/NewFeaturesInMG3

TACFUG in Raleigh, NC (my beloved local CF user group) has been selected to be a stop on the upcoming Adobe Flex/Flash Catalyst and Coldfusion/Bolt tour! AKA ‘Gumbo’ and ‘Centaur’ as I understand. We’ve been politely told by Adobe *NOT* to refer to specific version numbers when talking about this event. I suppose that is just in case they decide to change the versions to Flex 5/ColdFusion 10 at the last moment.
Tour Event: Adobe Flex/Flash Catalyst and Coldfusion/Bolt tour
Date and Time: June 16, 2009 from 6:30pm – 9:00pm
Address: Rail Inc7001 Weston Pkwy Cary, NC 27513
Speakers: Adam Lehman

This was palmToFace obvious once it occoured to me but due to the lack of Google results on the topic:
$("select#idOfElement").attr("selectedIndex")
Update, even better!
//see Dan's comment
$("#idOfElement").attr("selectedIndex")

For future reference in case you forget:
Railo on Resin webroot is by default {railo-dir}/webapps/ROOT/
localhost:8600/
You will get a bunch of debug information until you turn debugging off.
admin to turn off debugging is at
localhost:8600/railo-context/
Set a password on the admin BEFORE you make your server publicly accessible!
