MySQL Data truncation: Incorrect datetime value [+]
Thoughts from the mountains | 2/9/10 12:30 AM | MySQL
The MySQL error, Data truncation: Incorrect datetime value, is rather obvious and is caused by trying to insert a non datetime value into a datetime field in MYSQL 5.1. I was surprised to find the same code would run without error on MySQL 4.1. Apparently, earlier versions of MySQL would convert incorrect datetime values into 0000-00-00 00:00:00 and proceed without error. It seems that throwing the error is a better option to alert the developer of a problem if they are attempting to insert a non datetime value into a datetime value field.

Creating 301 Redirects on IIS7 [+]
Thoughts from the mountains | 2/9/10 12:00 AM | Windows Server 2008, IIS7
I've been moving a site from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 and thought I would mention one of the items I ran into this evening.I needed to setup 301 redirects for some old domain names that we no longer use and at first glance could not figure out where to do so. One of the first items I need to remind myself of when working with IIS7 is to stop looking for obvious features aimlessly, but instead head to the Roles section of the Server Manager to install the feature. Many of the commonly used features in IIS7 are not installed by default and require being added as a Server role. HTTP Redirection is one of those features and if you want to redirect old domains to a current domain you will need to install the feautre. One...

HTML Formatter ColdFusion-friendly code cleanup tool [+]
Making It Up As I Go Along | 2/9/10 12:00 AM | ColdFusion, Tools & Tips, WebDev
No matter how clean your code, there's something to be said for a fast, clean pre-launch cleanup with a reliable code formatter . My favorite by far is the HTML Formatter from LogicHammer.com:  http://www.logichammer.com/html-formatter/Complete with a full set of ColdFusion-friendly options, this simple tool makes cleaning your code a snap. I use it as I'm working, to clean up the work-so-far at any point, and before final launch to make sure the production code will be as easy as possible to maintain and revisit later on. It is a standalone executable, which means there's no installation, and you can put in anywhere you like on your hard drive. I simply create a taskbar shortcut on my Windows PC and drag the files I want to ...

Three thoughts on social media for 2010 [+]
acidlabs | 2/8/10 6:45 PM | posts, business, change, innovation, social innovation, social media
The hype around social media continues unabated – business, marketing, government, NFPs; everyone is getting involved. But to my mind, we’re still somewhat missing the point. Making it a part of our lives in a way that avoids the hype and adds real benefit to our own lives and the lives of others will be [...]

Image by trib via Flickr Equally, I’ve had many conversations in physical and virtual environments about change. Those conversations, to my very great benefit, have [...]
