ColdFusion's CFOAUTH Tag

With full-time employment being a bit up in the air this year, I've not submitted to nearly as many conferences as I have in the past (but hey, my rejections are at an all-time low!), but I've actually got not one, but two upcoming talks this month.| Raymond Camden
I blinked and somehow missed posting this a week or so ago. Time is, to quote the good Doctor, a bit wibbly wobbly. I'm currently watching a recording of the Saints/Patriots game and hoping we can follow last week's win with another, but I'm not sure. Of course, the game's been done for hours now but we've managed to miss the news so... we can still hope. Speaking of hope, as a reminder, I'm still looking for my next role, and if you know of a good developer evangelist/advocate position, plea...| Raymond Camden
With Halloween a few weeks away, it's officially spooky season. My wife and I usually plan our costumes months in advance (mine's been ready since July or so) and we love decorating the house (and yard) with all kind of fun and darkly horrific decorations. Two years ago, I built a great Halloween-themed web app using Glitch and Cloudflare: I Know What You Did Last Summer (With Glitch and Cloudflare)| Raymond Camden
Document summarization is a powerful and pretty darn useful feature of generative AI, but a proper "question and answer" system can really enable users to interact with a document. This is why you see various document viewing apps, like Acrobat, adding these features to their programs. I thought I'd take a look at building such a system via a simple web app to see how difficult it would be, and honestly, it wasn't that bad. Having this in your own web app, versus an external vendor, gives you...| Raymond Camden
So this post comes from - I'm mostly sure - me forgetting to show a simple, but powerful demo at my presentation recently at the| Raymond Camden
I've built a few web games in the past (IdleFleet and Cat Herder are two examples), but what I'm sharing today doesn't really fit into the category of a game. This is going to sound terribly pretentious and I apologize in advance, but what I'm sharing today is more an "experience" for lack of a better term. It's part technical exploration, and part cathartic dumping, and just kinda weird. But honestly, the web needs more weird and I'm happy to contribute to that.| Raymond Camden
One of the fun things about immersing myself in BoxLang these past few months is my expose to other products from Ortus. Most recently, I've been doing some contracting with a client that makes use of ColdBox, which for my non-CFML readers out there is probably the most well known, and probably most popular, framework for building enterprise web applications with ColdFusion. As part of that work, I've been integrating TestBox, a testing and mocking framework that works well with ColdBox, but ...| Raymond Camden
What was my experience using GenAI tools to design my blog? Well, you're looking at it! As I mentioned last week, my new design came from one of my experiments using GenAI to help me design a new theme, but I wanted to share a bit more about the experience when I had time, and that time is now.| Raymond Camden
I've been using Algolia for my search on this blog for years and absolutely love the service. At a high level, Algolia is a hosted search service that lets you easily create search indexes (think of it as a search optimized version of your content) while also providing easy libraries to add a search UI to your page itself. If you type in the search bar on top and perform a search, you'll see this yourself. My site here is static, all simple flat files with no database, so a solution like Algo...| Raymond Camden
