TurtleFusion

Well after getting Elcipse up and running yesterday I decided to move onto some Coldfusion/Flex integration tutorials on the Adobe website.  I decided to try creating the contact manager application which would have me use CFC's to pull my data and then have Flex interpretate the results into the Flex user interface.  Well, as yesterday, I had the battle of the application set ups go on for a while as I only had the CF 7.0 Developer edition on my machine and so downloaded the CF 7.02 version for the Flex capability.  Thinking it would update the installation I already had on my machine it took me a while to find out why my CF applications had a breakdown due to the two seperate applications running.  After a removal and clean install I did get the CFC's loaded correctly and tested my CF section of the application successfully.  However, I have run into problems with getting Flex part of the application running as I've obviously either not put the files in the right place according to the tutorial (in fact I've moved them so many times now I'm not sure where I am let alone where they are) or I haven't edited one of the XML files correctly.  I decided to take a break for my weekly enjoyment of Battlestar Galatica and also to relax a bit and take stock of the situation. 

Basically, as I said yesterday, I have a....snuff load shall we say for a better explitive....of code to do - so I'm actually going to break from my seeming obsession of Eclipse/Flex/CF integration battles and just get some actual productive code out of the way tomorrow before I alllow myself, well some more fun shall we say.  That means I'm on the work laptop - which means business for one project - and after some production on that project I will decide whether to just keep coding for the rest of the day or take my battles back to the frontline.

Apart from that I've bought a new coffee machine - ammunition for the battle ahead - bought a new Sponge Bob t-shirt, and watched too much TV. 

Thank God tommorrow's not Monday....
