Traffic quicksearch

If you haven't discovered how to use Smart Keywords or quick searches with Firefox you are missing out on a pretty cool feature. What's also cool is that Yahoo Maps now offers real-time traffic maps. This is very handy if you live in So. Cal (or No. Cal or anywhere for that matter!). To create a quick search for traffic in Firefox:

1. Go to Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks...
2. Click on the Quick Searches folder then click New Bookmark
3. Give it a name,
4. For the location enter http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?csz=%s&trf=1
5. Give it a keyword, I entered "traffic"

Then before you head home from work, go to the FireFox address bar and type "traffic 92130" and you can see what kind of commute you have to look forward to!

CFC.Doc build #59 - file header comments

By request, I haved added support for file header comments in CFC.Doc. Comments can be of two types: javadoc or custom. If you use the javadoc convention of comments using @author and @version, this information will be parsed and displayed. If you use the custom option, the comments will not be parsed for data but will simply be displayed in full. Check the examples section for,well, examples. As always, feedback is welcome.

Announcing CFCDoc v 1.0

I'd like to announce a new tool I've been working on, CFCDoc. CFCDoc is a tool for generating html documentation files of CFCs. For example, point it at your Mach-II directory and you can generate docs that you can use in CFStudio or Eclipse. There's a downloadable demo so please take it for a spin and let me know what you think.
