Speaking at Melbourne CFCamp
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
It looks as though we’ll be getting a CFCamp in Melbourne after all, through the efforts of Mark Mandel. The downside is he’s conned me into speaking 
I’m giving a half hour talk on “Enterprise development for the rest of us” – basically what it really means to be an enterprise developer and how to ramp up your career and habits to get to that level. And seeing as I’ll have a captive audience I might see if I can squeeze in a magic trick or two, so if my talk totally sucks there will at least be some entertainment.
Hope to see lots of people at cfcamp melbourne!
I hate dates and locales
Yes Yes Bad Blogger, I know. smack. Anyways….
I’m having a problem where i’m using a date selector in flex and selecting a date (client running on australian machines), but when its saved to the server it seems to be going in as a US date based on the current server time. How do I fix this? I’ve tried mucking about with the locale setting in the compiler arguments, I’ve tried just using CF_SQL_DATE instead of _TIMESTAMP but to no avail. If there are any readers left on this blog I’d appreciate any ideas.
I hate working with dates and regions, it’s definitely on my top 5 least enjoyable things in programming.
