CF "Just Like Visual Basic"

Wow, what a day. A local company needed some input on just what coldfusion was. When I asked what they thought it was, the reply was

Someone said it is just like Visual Basic

My comment was that it was more mature than that. Much so... Visual Basic on steriods with a rocket pack, and anti-gravity boots, super tool belt, and a cool red cape, maybe.

Bottom line, I am thrilled that we will not be the only CF shop in town :).

Quick & Dirty -- Opening Editable Illustrator Vector Images in Fireworks

I have created a Vector image in Illustrator that I want to open in FW CS3. FW CS3 doesn't integrate well with AI files, and EPS files usually import as bitmap.

To open a vector Illustrator file in Fireworks CS3, to this:

1) In Illustrator, save as .eps, then choose a legacy Illustrator 8 version.

2) In Fireworks, import that newly saved .eps file and you should import all the paths and and shape along with it.

There may be some fine tuning involved, but at least you are not recreating the image

Adobe Stock Photo Crashing Your Bridge?

Adobe discontinued the Stock Photo program back in March 2008. However, I never bothered to uninstall it from Bridge as I never used the Stock Photo program, and I only open Bridge when doing layout design (maybe once every 1-2 weeks). Sure, my Bridge is fat and bloated, but since I didn't use it daily, I didn't care.

Until this morning. In Bridge, accidentally clicking on Adobe Stock Photos crashed Bridge. Reopening wanted to open back to my last location (aka Stock Photos) and crash-o again. It took a few tries before Bridge finally got the message and opened back to viewing my computer.

So, I uninstalled Stock Photos ( KB w/ more info )

All is good, my Bridge lost a few pounds of processing weight, and the software now loads within a second as opposed to the usual 5-10. Good job.
