I had a situation where because of the incredible LONG file names generated by a ColdFusion application, I couldn't delete them.

I kept getting WindowsXP telling me that it couldn't find the file.

I thought I would use the DOS command "deltree", but discovered that the WindowsXP DOS doesn't come with this command.

But this works...

RD [Your dir here] /S /Q

be careful cause no prompts or nothing. RD is the Dos Command for Remove Directory.

This command comes with no Warranty, implied or otherwise!

I suspect Scott Adams has microphones and cameras in most work places round the world.

How else can he *know* so much!?

MacBook Pro!

Well, at least is it works new MacBook, but I get to use it :-)

I am currently setting up the computer, and have got FlexBuilder2 going etc, but if anyone out there has any tools you think I *need* for it, let me know!

...add the tool as a comment on this entry...

Over the next little while you will be seeing a surge of blog posts about Max2007, and all the great stuff that is going on.

[start lament]

...but not on this blog...

I *almost* got to go...maybe next time

woe is me

[end lament]

It is going to be an AWESOME conference from what I can see!

I am looking forward to hearing about all the good stuff that happens there!

I made it!

I got older!

Over at BlogInBlock, Kai ran a Travel mashup raffle, which I won by being the first person to respond.

The fact we are in the same time zone gave me the upper hand!

Well, I now have proof people read my blog!

A couple of days ago I found out that some added some of my PaperVision3D experiments to a RSS feed of demos!

Check it out here: http://davr.org/rss/pv3d.php. Thanks for including me David!

On the ColdFusion front, I got a mention in the World Famous (in CF land) ColdFusion Weekly Pod cast for my blog entry on Answering evaluate()'s cry for help. The trick I outlined in the entry was taught to me by a senior developer a few years ago when I was in my "<cfscript> for everything!" period.

Thank you Matt and Peter for the mention and the plug for being a presenter at Cfug. And keep up the good work guys on the pod cast!

If you are keen to present to us, email me @ djohnsmarie@gmail.com :-)

...I feel famous...
