ColdFusion runners, joggers, and walkers

Today is day two of running, which for anyone who knows me I am not kind of at my physical peak! I am currently doing the Couch to 5k (hat tip to Big Mad Kev for that site) and after some tweets it seems I am not alone. After scratching my head and deep thinking (all of which took 0.2 seconds) I figured lets get a Twitter list of CF runners together as its better to share pain together then on your own!

So if you just starting out like me, or a seasoned pro check out http://twitter.com/AndyJ/cfrunners and if you're not on there or another runner you know gimme a shout in the comments

Speed up Apche2 with mod_deflate

Before there was mod_gzip but now in Apache 2 there is mod_deflate. Its pretty much the same, and included with the default source package now. The syntax is pretty much the same. You can set it across the board or on a MIME type basis.

Check out the Apache docs for a proper understanding. Currently I am still testing my setup and on my Ubuntu installation I edited the following configuration to add some MIME Type rules

view plain print about
1$ sudo nano etc/apache2/mods-enabled/deflate.conf

The following rules I am using are

view plain print about
1<Location />
2AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
3AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
4AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
5AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
6AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
7AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
8AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/atom_xml
9AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
10AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
11<Location>

Do read the docs though, as not all browsers can handle this but there are ways to get around that.

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.

You can see a live demo in action atCnet

Eclipse local help system

Update: This appears to be on a different port for others. As Jax pointed out you can go: Eclipse, select Help -> Help contents to get there as well :o)

I was just going into some help files of Aptana when I came across the local address for the Eclipse Help system at: http://127.0.0.1:58041/help/index.jsp

In there was a wealth of information I just didn't know was on my hard drive ... though I suppose it depends on what plug-in's you've got installed but for me I had:
