Ever had an e-mail address that keeps popping up in your autocomplete field in Thunderbird? If you've used other e-mail clients in the past, usually you can select the entry using the keyboard and hit either [DELETE] ( or [SHIFT]+[DELETE] like you can in Firefox.)
Apparently Thunderbird compiles the autocomplete list not from a cache, but from e-mail addresses in your Address Book or by guessing for users in your domain. So why is that rogue invalid entry in there you ask? Well, perhaps it was added to your Address Book automatically under the "Collected Addresses" section. That's what happened to me.
All of the sudden a name started appearing in the drop down list that was invalid. It was causing me problems because it was always popping up as the first choice when trying to e-mail my boss. So, if you're seeing some invalid e-mail addresses showing up in your autocomplete list in Thunderbird, do the following:
I've been working with a lot of code recently that I didn't write and the code flow is very hard to follow. A lot of times there's no clear execution path flow and I'm finding fixing problems is very time consuming because I'm having to jump around to a bunch of seemingly unrelated files to find where the problem actually is.
One of the things I seem to be having to do a lot is dump out either little "I'm here" messages or having to output the SQL statements that are getting executed so I can run them in SQL Query Analyzer to find out what the results are and what the query really should be.
I've found myself writing a lot of <cfif cgi.remote_addr EQ "my.ip.addr.ess"> lines in order to only output that data to myself. This morning I decided I should just write a tag that checks the CF Admin for a list of valid Debugging IPs and uses that to decide if code should be excuted.
The Mozilla group has released Thunderbird v1.0.5. This release is supposed to fix some stability issues and it also addresses a number of security issues.
The Mozilla group has released Firefox v1.0.5. This release is supposed to fix some stability issues (I've had Firefox crashing on occasion for me when opening a pop-up window, but I think this may be related to an Extension I have installed) and it also addresses a number of security issues.
Damon Cooper blogged about the ColdFusion 10th Birthday Party celebration and posted a link to a photo gallery of the ColdFusion MX 7 Team's facilities in Newton, MA.
This reminded me that I have some photos in my photo album on the Allaire Facilites at One Alewife Center that I took on a trip to Boston in 1999. Mike Nimer took myself and Cameron Childress on a tour through the building and then we walked down to this good little Greek restaurant for lunch.
