http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss http://www.sorcerers-tower.net Welcome to the Tower, my programming and web development blog. Here you will find articles relating to CFML, CSS, HTML, Java, JavaScript and Regular Expressions, plus discussions on the associated tools, technologies, techniques and ideas.</p> <p>For more general topics, please visit <a href="http://www.sorcerers-isle.net">Sorcerer's Isle</a>, where you will find articles on my other interests. Websites http://www.sorcerers-tower.net/article/introducing-the-cfregex-project.html <p>The <a href="http://cfregex.net">cfRegex project</a> is two things. Firstly, it is a complete regex implementation for CFML, providing more functionality, flexibility, features and power than the existing CFML RE functions. Secondly, it is a drive to encourage people to properly learn and make use of regex. <p style="text-align:center;"><a href="/article/introducing-the-cfregex-project.html">Read the rest of this article to find out more.</a></p> <div style="text-align:center;margin:2em;"> <a href="http://cfregex.net" title="Visit cfregex.net"><img src="http://cfregex.net/resources/images/cfregex-logo.tagb.png" alt="cfRegeX :: First-class Regex for CFML :: http://cfregex.net"></a></div> Fri, 22 Jul 2011 22:20:48 GMT http://www.sorcerers-tower.net/article/the_magnificent_art_of_eldavo.html <p>I've recently been working on a gallery website for my brother, a brilliant artist and illustrator. The site is still under construction, but he's already got some great examples of his drawings and sculptures on there, and it is definitely worth checking out.</p> <p>Head over to <a href="http://eldavo.co.uk">eldavo.co.uk</a> to take a look, and if you like the work take a look at <a href="http://eldavoart.blogspot.com/">his blog</a> where he has more of his art.</p> <p>On the technical side, the main site is pretty simple, so far, with extra complexity coming later on. It runs on <a href="http://www.getrailo.com">Railo</a> and uses <a href="http://www.jquery.com">jQuery</a>. The (private) admin part of the site was my first opportunity to use cfimage functionality, allowing thumbnails to be generated from uploaded images. I used <a href="http://deepliquid.com/content/Jcrop.html">jCrop</a> for the client-side crop selection.</p> Thu, 24 Dec 2009 23:53:36 GMT http://www.sorcerers-tower.net/article/siobh.html <p>This weekend I uploaded my sister's updated website, designed to showcase her skills and abilities in the four gallery categories, <a href="http://siobhanboughton.com/?go=gallery.view&cat=events#1">Weddings &amp; Events</a>, <a href="http://siobhanboughton.com/?go=gallery.view&cat=art#1">Floral Art</a>, <a href="http://siobhanboughton.com/?go=gallery.view&cat=paintings#1">Paintings</a> and <a href="http://siobhanboughton.com/?go=gallery.view&cat=design#1">Floral Design</a>.</p> <p>You can access the website at <a href="http://www.siobhanboughton.com/">siobhanboughton.com</a></p> <p>From a technical perspective, it is a <a href="http://www.fusebox.org">Fusebox</a>-based application, with a small amount of CFML logic, but is mostly only HTML and CSS.</p> Sun, 18 May 2008 12:47:41 GMT
