How to program effectively
Coding is so much better when it includes wine or beer.
Inside the life of a programmer
Some days require the environment be just right for productivity. Today, I need a darkened room, incense burning, attire that doesn’t include button down anything, bare feet, herbal tea, and very, very loud cyberpunk music. Instead, I am in Cubeville. Florescent lights burn through my eyes searing my brain. The glare is so harsh. A din of conversations float over cube walls as ambient noise but not soothing as white noise, oceans, or rain. Interruptions are imminent. Such is the live of a programmer.
Today’s magic trick
Today, I make Caldera Forms export to Excel.
Making a website look good on all devices
N.b. Be sure to read this.
Responsive design is actually pretty straight forward. Use standard practices and don’t overcomplicate your html. But when we start to tweak something here or there, you quickly find yourself having to make sure that the code has adjustments for various devices. What does this mean to your programmer? Basically having to make changes to all of these:

Calling SQL gurus – Is there a way to programmaticly prove data accuracy?
Say I have an existing MS SQL database with many tables. Now I’m going to import many more records. From a quality assurance standpoint, I’d like to be able to confirm that the existing data prior to the import was not inadvertently altered during the import of the new data (since the import includes some manipulation of the new data).
Is there a magical way to do this. I’m stuck on comparing record counts but that does really tell me if the existing data was altered during the import process.
Conceptually, I’d like to be able to essentially do something like a hash of the complete dataset before the import. Then after the import, query for all the old records, rehash and compare the two hashes.
Thoughts?
No, I won’t use your CMS
So I’m doing some ColdFusion research (the Adobe kind not the physics kind) and thought it might be time to bring CFNinja.com back to life (not that it ever had much of a life). I hesitate to turn CFNinja.com into a WordPress site since CFNinja originally started with the intent to be a central location for ColdFusion developers to collaborate and it seems silly to use a PHP driven application for a CF site. The recommendations for a CF CMS seems to be Content Box. I figured I would install it real quickly and compile some of my research using Contentbox on CFNinja. First, the online documentation goes to a 404 page:
Not good for a content management system to not be able to find its own documentation. Even the older docs 404. Ah! Just went to reproduce the problem and found another path to the docs. Hmm. Maybe I’ll do this afterall.
Any other alternatives for ColdFusion CMS systems?
