		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post, I had written an example of combining two RSS feeds into one. At some point, I lost the code from the example, probably from clicking save one-too-many times in WordPress. WordPress is quite finicky about posting any kind of programming code. I did some research, and found PasteBin, and have started using that for my code samples. With that out of the way, it&#8217;s time to rewrite the example that was lost, and to try it out in pure CFScript. Code Walkthrough: Use feed to Read a WordPress blog feed and return a Query object. If this fails, create an empty query object. Execute an SQL Query to get recent News Stories from a MySQL database. If this fails, create an empty query object. Use Query of Queries to create a Union of the two sources previously defined. If this fails, create an empty query object. Setup Structs to defined properties for RSS Feed Creation Create the RSS Feed. This one gave me a bit of grief. I didn&#8217;t see my output file until I added ExpandPath to it. It took be a bit to figure out that to get assign the results of the create [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Parks Canada emailed me today in regards to the Glacier Walk proposal in Jasper National Park. They provided several pieces of information: Setting the Record Straight (PDF) Questions and Answers – The Proposed Brewster Glacier Discovery Walk Link to Brewster&#8217;s Glacier Discovery Walk website It almost sounds like the proposal has already been approved, and is just waiting on the an Environmental rubber stamp. Here&#8217;s my thoughts on this proposal: By &#8220;privatizing&#8221; a lookout and making it only available to paying customers of a corporation, Parks Canada are denying me my rights to visit this portion of Jasper National Park. The so-called alternative viewpoints do not give the same view as that from the soon-to-be-closed viewpoint. There are no areas in any national park that I am currently precluded from visiting (to my knowledge). There will be one if this proposal is allowed to proceed. The only exceptions I know of are: areas that are closed due to Parks regulations (ie. Avalanche closures, bear closures, elk calving closures, caribou protection closures, seasonal closures, etc&#8230;). hot springs leases &#8211; these are operated by Parks Canada, or a contractor on Parks Canada&#8217;s behalf and are a traditional use of the National Parks.

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a method to get a JSON feed with jQuery (version 1.7.1 at time of writing). This may work in earlier versions of jQueruy but I have didn&#8217;t test it. Code walkthrough: Specify the feed URL. See notes in the code below for pre-requisites. Before sending the request, set the &#8220;result&#8221; div to show an animated gif to indicate something&#8217;s happening If there&#8217;s an error, display an error message in the &#8220;result&#8221; div If successful, display the first 6 items from the feed in the &#8220;result&#8221; div]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a method to get an JSON feed with ColdFusion. This will work in ColdFusion 7 and later. This is useful for avoiding cross-site scripting in Javascript/jQuery &#8211; You would simply call your remote feed on your local server, and then your jQuery would be able to call a &#8220;local&#8221; resource. Code walkthrough: Use CFHTTP to generate an HTTP request and handle the response from the server. This should return JSON. Set the appropriate MIME content type. Return the resulting JSON string. This example should be enhanced with try/catch error handling]]></description>

Google+ is like virgin wilderness (but being rapidly deforested). Facebook is like a modern metropolis. MySpace is like a ruined city (although I might have been inclined to feature tumbleweeds&#8230;) Source: Failbook]]></description>
