Eric’s Test Lab .com

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

I needed different hosting in order to experiment with Coldfusion applications and code. I am using CF a great deal more at work and may begin to use it for clients sites. It has some really nifty features and is more natural to me than PHP for application development. So I built erics-test-lab.com […]

New Website Got-Lawn.com

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Version 3 of the Got Lawn? website is now available. Version 1 was a temporary holding page. Version 2 was a little more robust but the owners decided they wanted to increase interactivity and to brand it more like the parent company site (got-bugs.com).

In Version 3 I reused the structure from the parent […]

I finally had a photo published

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Fox news has a daily submission for topical photographs so that those of us out there with too much time on our hands can manipulate them into something funny or expressive. I finally decided to enter one and managed to get picked for the daily slide show. The topic was “How Congressman Charlie […]

Hacked + New site.

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Glad I keep backups of my site. I was hacked once again by syrian hackers. Thanks guys.

In better news, I am finally launching a site for one of my regular customers. Got-Lawn.com which is a tree and turf care company in Alpharetta/Cumming Ga. area. Nothing really fancy in its design but used color to coordinate […]

Coldfusion Query tablelist from multiple databases and bind them in a form.

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Using the meta data available in most database software you can usually get a list of tables by querying the sysObjects table. However I had need to change the list of tables based on a database name selected. We have multiple databases on our server. So here is the code. It uses Coldfusion and […]

What new in Eric land

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Not much and I kind of like it that way. Life is generally good.

Been hanging out way too much in facebook, Selling stuff on ebay, selling books on Amazon, and sitting on the newly covered back patio. Some of my best afternoon naps on the patio couch have been amid rain storms. Still searching […]

Go Joe Wilson !

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) called President Obama a liar during a nationally televised address to congress on Sept. 09. It is not the first time that a congressman has used the phrase and the moral outrage apears a little false. Does no one remember Senators Reid, Clinton, Kerry, and others calling General […]

Patio Remodel

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

It has been nearly two months since the patio project started. We are nearly complete.

We have a good solid roof with a finished ceiling, fans, and light. The fireplace received an upgrade from manufactured stone to real stone. The furniture arrived and has been put in place. Just need gutters and to rid of […]

The Summer to-do List

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Ok, last year I had excuses. I fixed up the parents house to put it on the market so my to-do list at home was ignored. So in an effort to remind myself of what needs to be done I will list it here, in no particular order.

1) Put the leftover stuff from […]

It pays to shop around

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Since the beginning of May I have been working on a home improvement project. I want to add a roof over the existing concrete patio plus cover the concrete and add a fireplace. Should be easy enough, search the web, find a contractor, write a few checks, and presto.

Finding a contractor was harder than I […]
