This includes pages that my team has created; and, pages that I find in the wild about which I am curious. In either case, there's nothing more frustrating than right-clicking on an Element with the intent to Inspect it only to find myself on the body element because the target element has pointer-events disabled. To "fix" this issue, I've created a Bookmarklet that appends a style tag that attempts to re-enable all pointer-events through the use of the !important CSS modifier.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3734-capturing-pointer-events-using-bookmarklets.htmTweet - CFCamp - Photos from CFCamp are here - thanks for James AllenThe images of #cfcamp are here! A very, very big thank you @CFJamesAllen for taking and optimizing the pictures!! https://www.cfcamp.org/impressions/fotos.htmlhttps://twitter.com/cf_camp/status/1199688952493592579https://twitter.com/cf_campBlog - Ben Nadel - Monolith To Microservices: Evolutionary Patterns To Transform Your Monolith By Sam NewmanThree years ago, I read Building Microservices by Sam Newman. And, in the years since then, I've been trying - and struggling - to wrap my head around the concept of microservices and distributed systems. While I think I understand microservices at a conceptual level, I continually find myself running into more questions than I do answers. So, when I saw that [Sam Newman]'s new book - Monolith to Microservices: Evolutionary Patterns to Transform Your Monolith - was finally available for Kindle, I purchased it and gobbled it up over Thanksgiving break. This book is awesome! And, should be mandatory reading for any team that is thinking about using Microservices.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3733-monolith-to-microservices-evolutionary-patterns-to-transform-your-monolith-by-sam-newman.htmBlog - Gregory Alexander - ColdFusion ORM Error - java.lang.Integer, etc.I ran into an interesting error when working on converting Galaxie Blog's database to use ORM.https://gregoryalexander.com/blog/2019/11/28/ColdFusion-ORM-Error--javalangInteger-etcBlog - Ben Nadel - Fixing Connection Failure: Unable To Determine MIME Type Errors With sslCertificateInstall() In Lucee CFML 5.3.3.62Yesterday, I took a look at tracking feature flags in New Relic Transactions as part of a Lucee CFML application. As part of that write-up, I had a CommandBox Lucee Server hitting my local development environment in order to simulate a steady stream of external HTTP traffic. At first, the traffic simulation was getting Connection Failure errors because my local development environment uses a self-signed certificate. However, I was able to quickly fix this issue by installing the self-signed SSL certificate using the sslCertificateInstall() function in Lucee CFML 5.3.3.62.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3732-fixing-connection-failure-unable-to-determine-mime-type-errors-with-sslcertificateinstall-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-3-62.htmBlog - Seth Engen - Computer Know How - Proper Environment VariablesRecently, I have been tasked with creating and deploying projects to our production environments.  As I have been working through these steps I am realizing the importance of how environment-specific values are handled.  There are at least a couple of reasons I have come up with for creating these projects without these values in the codebase.https://ckhconsulting.com/proper-environment-variables/Blog - Charlie Arehart - ColdFusion.Adobe.Com - How to get a feed of new posts or comments in this CF portal blogThis may be useful info for some readers: did you know that you CAN in fact get an RSS feed of new blog posts here, or their comments?https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2019/10/get-feed-new-posts-comments-cf-portal-blog/Tweet - Brad Wood - Fusion Reactor for CommandBox tasksI've got a cool new @Fusion_Reactor integration coming in CommandBox vNext that lets you use your dev FR license to monitor the actual commands and Task Runners you run from the CLI.
