using the right technology at the right time
A lot of websites pursue XHTML as their document type, which is really cool. But a lot of them end up not validating with one little mistake. Even worse, with this mistake, documents that are made to run in “standards mode” are immediately thrown into quirks mode by browsers because web developers don’t know how to do their jobs.
Read on to find out how to avoid this all-too-common mistake.
I’ve always thought Twitter a glorious waste of time. But I recently found out that much of the CFML community hangs out there.
So here’s my new Twitter handle: @cf_chrispeters.
I must admit that joining Twitter with the goal of connecting with other CFers makes it a much more rewarding experience. I’ve learned a few things already just from links that others have been posting. If you use ColdFusion, Railo, or OpenBD, then you should give it a shot.
I’ve been mainly business since I’ve started this blog, so I figured that I could share some non-web-development-related stuff from time to time.
I’ll admit that I’ve somehow become an Apple fan boy over the years. One lesser-known thing about Apple’s products is how well their entertainment stuff integrates together. For a couple hundred bucks, you can turn your Mac or Windows PC into the cerebellum of music in your household.
Read on to find out what you need to set up a low-cost house-wide remote sound system and what it all does.
I started this blog in 2005. That’s pretty ancient in blog years. Considering that most blogs probably only last about 3 months, this blog is about 1,600 years old in human years.
Honestly, I’ve taken a small hiatus from the programming side of web development for the past couple years. I’ve been ramping myself up as [...]
Hilarious video with personified fonts. I love Wing Dings: “Airplane, Pencil, Mailbox!”

Interesting ICANN announcement that anyone will be able to create their own custom top level domains (TLDs). So I would be able to buy a domain name like www.webdeveloper.chrispeters.
I can see this scenario at least for the next 10 years. And lots of idiots will go out of business because of the frustration that they [...]
Check out the new video for “Pork and Beans” by Weezer. Lots of YouTube nostalgia in this one!

I upgraded a large number of WordPress blogs to version 2.5 a few weeks ago and couldn’t get comments to show up in the Dashboard.
After some prodding in the WordPress forum, oreixa finally offered up a solution.
Kudos to Mike Krotschek for giving everyone a kick in the pants and reviving our local Adobe user group.
COMMUG has been resurrected as Columbus Digital. The rename was much called for since Macromedia (the MM in COMMUG) is now absorbed into Adobe.
If you’re in the Columbus area, I urge you to come to one of [...]
I’m not sure that there’s much to do there yet, but I’ve joined the new ColdFusion Community.
It appears to be running on create-your-own-social-network platform Ning. Too bad the CF Community isn’t eating its own dog food, but I’d rather have a community than not!
