Caching Youtube Videos

Youtube caches videos on your hard drive after streaming them. To retrieve them in Firefox, go to the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\2cvbgybf.default\Cache

The files don't have extensions, but if you just played a video it will be the most recent file. Rename it "whatever.FLV". You now have an flv that can be played in the Flash Player or imported into a Flash movie.

Note: You can find the cache folder in Firefox by typing: about:cache in the URL field.

ColdFusion

I'm just starting to use ColdFusion. Each time you use a new database, you must define a datasource or the script won't be able to connect to MySql. I forget this each time, so I'm putting it here for my own reference. The datasource can be added here:

http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

Random Flex Note for myself

This seems like a place for me to store stuff that I will otherwise spend hours trying to once again find on the web. I've been working on a project using Flex, ColdFusion, and MySQL. Each tutorial I find has errors in it, so I'm going to store a few things I need to remember here:

1. DataGridColumn does not have a columnName property. It is "dataField".
2. HTTPService does not use result. It should be "lastResult".
