Codito Ergo Sum

After about 10 minutes of playing, here are my initial thoughts in a nutshell: Chrome is FAST!  Gmail and google docs are lightning quick.  Starting a new tab has a very opera-like quick start (only this is automatically created as you use the browser).  Each tab shows up in windows as its own process under task manager (request:  stick part of the URL there so we can nuke one by name!).  The interface is un-obtrusive, imported all my firefox settings and favorites just fine, and renders the pages I have tested it on just fine.  I like it, will be using it as a daily browser here for the future, and will let you know how it goes!  Mac fans will just have to hold onto their macbooks, this is a windows only release so far, but you will get yours some day =)

*edited* - Check out the html / style inspector (right click anything in the page, choose inspect element)  - you can view the derived styles, and edit the html in-line and see the changes as you make them.  Super sweet!

*edit* OK, I keep finding cool goodies.  Right click the task bar for chrome, and choose 'task manager'.  You get a window with each tab, the memory and CPU that each tab is taking up,  and even the network usage of that tab (how awesome is that).  The rabbit hole gets deeper though, click 'stats for nerds' to get a very detailed memory page.  Go google go, appeal to us techies, I love it! =)

*edit* OK, it has not been an hour of use yet, but its now my default browser =)

I have been coding coldfusion for about 7 years now, since I first got the Coldfusion Express edition and learning kit when it was still owned by Alliare.  Next week I start 2 new classes at school, Java I and C++ I  (with JAVA II and C++ II the following semester)  Does anyone have any advice for me?  I have at least been exposed to Java in my CF travels, but I have done little else in C++ than compile a 'hello world application.  I know Java has many frameworks, is there one that would be more useful to learn over another one?  How about C++, are there frameworks out there (I'm sure there are, I just have never been exposed yet).

I'm a big fan of Eclipse, and feel very comfortable within it.  Can I work just as easily in Eclipse with C++ as I do with CF or Java?  What are the best plugins for Java or C++ work?

Thanks anyone for advice you can offer!

So you did it. You ran an UPDATE or DELETE SQL statement without a WHERE clause. Don't panic (well, panic, but don't despair). You can fix it with a few steps I will outline here, provided you are doing a few 'best practice' SQL maintenance items.

I am writing code that will replace a legacy CF system. At some point in the past this system was forked to run a 2nd company, and the web root was copied to another folder. Of course, over the years the 2 systems diverged, fixes were not always put into both, and gradually the single code base become twice as hard to handle. One of my goals for this new system was to write it such that many sites could share the same code base.

Cute little joke my wife told me this weekend (click the 'read more' link for the punchline):
