That’s alright, I really didn’t need that hour for anything else

If you’re using Carlo Alducente’s gophr (AS3 Web Service) class and you’re creating your own web service in ColdFusion (CFC), make sure you set the CFC’s style attribute to “document.” Otherwise, it won’t report the methods correctly and both you and your coworker will spend an hour each beating your heads against your respective desks.

I’m just sayin’, is all.

p.s. While we’re on the subject, why the hell didn’t the native WebService class make it over in the move from AS2 to AS3? I imagine it sitting in a dusty box in some Macromedia warehouse along with the Alert class.

Phrases that have broken my heart

  • Your mother failed you. - ex-boyfriend during a long-overdue breakup
  • Yeah, I’ll be there. You sing, right? - dad’s response to an invitation to one of my Winterguard (dance) competitions
  • I see you more as a sister - ex-boyfriend during an unexpected breakup
  • Unfortunately, the Function.apply() method cannot be used with constructors. - AS3 Livedocs, confirming my suspicions

I was about to post another nerdy (programming-related) post, but I had a feeling that my last two posts had been about programming so I decided to check just to be sure and I get Tumblr’s “We couldn’t find the page you were looking for” message. My first instinct was that I forgot to pay GoDaddy, but a quick look at the root domain showed that I was fine on that front. Next stop: customize page, where I find that my custom domain is no longer listed as blog.margeeka.com and the custom domain option is unchecked. The fuck, Tumblr? “This domain is correctly configured to point to Tumblr[…]” Yeah, no fucking shit. Anyway, if you’re wondering what the fastest way to create a copy of an Array in AS3 is, you can read this article.

xkcd: Trade Expert “I mean, it’s been almost twenty years. Now, it’s possible you’re simply embedding Windows directory paths in your URIs, but in that case you need more than just a short lecture.” YES YES YES. A MILLION TIMES YES. People, I can’t stress this enough: \ is a backslash/ is a slash (or forward slash if you’re sassy) ergo: “http://” is pronounced aitch tee tee pee colon slash slash But really, if you’re announcing a web address, you’re probably safe leaving that part off since most browsers will still resolve the URI.

YES YES YES. A MILLION TIMES YES.

People, I can’t stress this enough:

\ is a backslash
/ is a slash (or forward slash if you’re sassy)

ergo:

“http://” is pronounced aitch tee tee pee colon slash slash

But really, if you’re announcing a web address, you’re probably safe leaving that part off since most browsers will still resolve the URI.
