It's so hard to debug my pages in IE. While this isn't Firebug it does make debugging AJAX requests in IE so much easier.

A neat little utility for generating rounded corner images:

I haven't blogged in a while because I haven't had much to blog about.

Over the weekend I got my hands on SeeFusion for the first time. It was fairly easy to setup (Using the provided Windows MSI installer). It provides alot of great information about your Coldfusion instance. Long running SQL queries and page requests. Java thread inspection and KILL commands. The Enterprise edition allows long requests and queries to be logged for later analysis. All this great information is presented in a pretty Flex based interface.

Found this neat little tool while writing my last blog post:

I always need to HTML encode certain text whenever I'm writing a blog entry.

If you have Word installed and you attempt to open a Word document from within Eclipse it will open the document inside the Eclipse IDE using object linking and embedding (OLE). I searched the web for a way to force Eclipse to open the editor outside of the IDE. I ended up fixing the problem myself. It was pretty easy, but I thought I would put it here in case someone else is looking for the solution.

Inside the Eclipse IDE:

1. Goto Window > Preferences
2. General > Editors > File Associations
3. Click 'Add' to add a new file type
4. Type *.doc into the File Type field provided
5. With the *.doc file type selected, click the 'Add' button next to the Associated Editor box
6. Ensure that the External Programs radio button is selected
7. If Microsoft Word is not listed by default, you may need to use the browse button to located the Word.exe file

NOTE: You will need to repeat the steps for .docx files if you are using Word 2007.

That's it! Pretty easy. I love Eclipse!

Here's a cool little Eclipse based UML editor:

Over the last few years my development environment has evolved and changed as newer and better tools were released. I've had my current setup running for a few months now and I'm really pleased with how it's working.

With the release of CFEclipse 1.3 and a stable release of RDS support in Eclipse. I can now remove Homesite completely. To be fair it is a great IDE and has proved it's worth time and again. However, Macromedia no longer supports or develops Homesite and it's starting to show its age. I'm quite pleased with the recent release of CFEclipse and I highly recommend you check it out. You can download Eclipse RDS extensions by clicking here.

I just found this really cool tool:

It's called FireBug and it's an interactive debugger. It makes debugging javascript a snap!
