CFBuilder reformatting jQuery code

I've been using CFBuilder since the beta has been over and everything I was complaining about in my previous blog post has been fixed. It's even more stable since I installed the 1st updater for Builder. One thing that was driving me up the wall was when I was typing jQuery into CFBuilder. CFBuilder will try to be overly helpful and reformat my code after I've typed a '}' ( video example ). I mentioned this on twitter and Ray Camden pointed me at a setting. If this is bugging the everliving crap out of you, open up Window > Preference. In the search box, type: typing and then Click on the 'typing' next to JavaScript and uncheck "Auto format code block when typing closing brace '}'."

Running Railo on Tomcat 7

Just wanted to rehash here what I already stated on Twitter. Railo runs fine on Tomcat 7, especially if you followed my previous blog post on installing it. I was able to download Tomcat 7 for Windows, install it (I disabled the Tomcat 6 service briefly) - edit 3 files. Start it up and go to the Railo admin. Once I confirmed everything was working properly, I uninstalled Tomcat 6.

Someone asked on Twitter if it was worth upgrading. I'm of the opinion that anytime you see mentions of clean-up, security fixes, etc. It's always worth upgrading.

Amazon Mp3 on the HTC Incredible

So, the HTC / Verizon DROID Incredible does not come with Amazon MP3 and the Amazon application from the Android Market doesn't allow MP3 purchases. Not sure why the Incredible didn't automatically come with it, but I kept hearing rumors of other people being able to install it except the phone had to be rooted. Well, today I was able to install it without needing it rooted.

Well, I finally figured it out. Not sure how legal / illegal or whatever it is to install, so I won't link directly to anything. I don't have my USB cable handy with me at work, so... I used dropbox to install this.

  1. Do a search on google for "amazon mp3 .apk"
  2. I dropped the .apk file in my dropbox on the desktop.
  3. Opened up my dropbox on the HTC incredible (yes, it's available for free in the market)
  4. Downloaded the .apk to my phone and it prompted to install.
  5. Amazon Mp3 is now available on the HTC Incredible.

Voila. Done. Why this app is not freely available in the Android Market makes no sense to me.
