ColdFusion Administrator Pause Button

It's the little things that count.  If you've ever been a ColdFusion Administrator, you probably have noticed what a pain in the ass the little "pause" button is when setting a Scheduled Process on hold.

The problem is the Pause button looks almost identical to the Resume button. When looking at a list of a hundred processes, it is hard to find those that are paused and those that are not.

Here's a tiny little gem to solve that.  This is a replacement Resume button made from the original button.  Just put this image in your "/CFIDE/administrator/images/" directory as "resume.gif".  If you are on Linux you might have to adjust the permissions to match those of the other images.

Two things about it.  This isn't a GIF file (pronounced JIF) it's a PNG file.  I don't know why they do it, but the images on the CF server are PNG files that have been renamed to GIF by Adobe.  I assume it is for backwards compatibility.  So you'll have to take this PNG file and rename it to GIF before uploading it.

Which leads to the second thing.  If you are worried about security (as you should be) and don't trust that this is just an image file, Go ahead and open it in a browser or an image editor.  Just make sure you rename it to ".gif" before uploading it.

Here's the image:



You should be able to just right-click on the image above and do a "Save Image As...".

Here's a sample screenshot of the final product:

Dride Zero - Dashcam on Steroids

I took part in a Kickstarter project to build "The ultimate Dashcam".  One with front and back cameras that would shoot in HD, was durable and low power, and would upload video clips to the cloud with the push of a button.  We'll after waiting more than a year, they did just that.  I received my Dride Zero a couple of days ago and, other than an initial rocky "Setup" process, it has been working fantastic. This post isn't so much to talk about the Dride, you can get that information from them at https://dride.io.   This is more for those people who might run into the same issues with Setup that I had.  Hopefully this will save them some of the time I wasted trying to figure it out. Dride Zero Getting Started 1) Unpack from the shipping box.   To get started all you need at first is the Dride Camera, the powercord that has the cigarette lighter connector, and a 16Gb type 10 Micro SD card. 2) Insert the 16Gb Micro SD card in the slot...

Troubleshooting a Discourse Update on DigitalOcean: Resolving Unresolvable Errors

For the past three years, I've maintained a Discourse server on a DigitalOcean Droplet. Recently, I decided to update it with some of the latest Discourse features. What I anticipated to be a straightforward update process turned into several days of frustrating setbacks. The version of Discourse I was running was already three years old, so I assumed that running the built-in "Update" feature would suffice. However, after clicking the update button, the progress bar sluggishly crawled forward over the next half hour, only to display the dreaded message: "Error – Update Failed." The logs provided little to no help, but based on my experience with other software updates via GIT, I suspected that the failure might be due to the repository head still being called "Master." In recent years, there has been a shift away from using "Master" as the repository head, with "Main" becoming the preferred term. Despite trying several methods ...

Ethereum Merge - So What?

Artwork by Steven Grundy The long awaited Ethereum "Merge" is finally upon us.  I've heard people say "So what".   So what?  I think they don't understand the implications of the merge.  Either that or they really are betting against Ethereum. I think this upgrade is probably the biggest thing for Ethereum since smart contracts first came out.  This change has the possibility of upsetting the apple cart in terms of Ethereum and BTC.  That's a big claim, but I really think it's possible. The Ethereum Merge has been set for the week of September 19th, 2022.  The merge is when the Ethereum execution layer will be joined with the new proof of stake consensus layer.  What does that mean and why should I care? What it means is that Ethereum will be changing from an energy intensive Crypto coin like all others to a 99% more efficient crypto coin like only a few have done.  Right now Ethereum is mined just like BTC and a host of other Crypto cur...
