Take screenshots in/on the iPhone

If you haven't seen the entries floating around already, you can take screen shots of your iPhone with the new v2 upgrade.

To take a screen shot all you have to do hold down the home key (bottom square button) and push in the top button. The screen then will flash for a second then you're done. You'll find the image on your camera roll where you can sync it up to your Mac/PC and do what you want with it.

Always-on access automatically and seamlessly reconnects users to their documents when they change locations and devices, or lose connectivity.

Up till now its been a Windows only client which meant I had to do everything through a VM image. Which was a pain when it comes to developing and testing sites.

MySQL limit cffunction for Query and QoQ's

Query of a Query functionality was introduced in ColdFusion 5 and it gives the developer the ability to re-query a returned recordset. While it does implement the core set of SQL SELECT commands the one bit of functionality I miss is MySQL's Limit function (I miss this in ANY relational database thats not MySQL as it makes paginiation a doddle).

Limit in MySQL works as such:


SELECT * FROM myTable LIMIT 0, 10

The above code will display the first 10 results from your your (table is 0 indexed)


SELECT * FROM myTable LIMIT 5, 5

Starting from the 5th record this will bring back rows 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10

Fridays Joke: The first operation

A bit late in the day, but here it is. Enjoy!

Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchers next to each other, outside the operating room.

The first kid leans over and asks, "What are you in here for?"

The second kid says, "I'm in here to get my tonsils out and I'm a little nervous."

The first kid says, "You've got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream. It's a breeze!"

Fridays Joke: Know your scotch

Being the last day of the SOTR i'd thought I should keep the joke topical even though I couldn't make it up this year. Enjoy!

A dude walks into a bar and says to the bartender : "I want a 12 years old scotch, and don't try to fool me because I can tell the difference."

The bartender is skeptical and decides to try to trick the man with a 3 year old scotch on the rocks.
