2 Cool iTunes 10 Tips

Tip #1
So in iTunes 10 you can now play music from an attached iPod. Basically if your friend has music he/she wants to hear at your party but it is only on his/her iPod, you can now attach it and play it. Before you would need third-party software like Senuti (which I still like) to do this.

Tip #2
Music control via album artwork. Say what? OK, really easy. Next time you have a song playing, click on the album artwork on the left bottom to increase the size and then mouse over. This is pretty cool, like when playing iTunes DJ or anything like that (shuffle etc) and you want to have iTunes minimized and the artwork up on screen with controls enabled.

What is coldfusion.tagext.io.FileTag$FileUploadException?

I truly love the resources of the web. A simple Google search and I get my answer, so in the spirit of continuing to post similar messages in case someone else in the future needs it here goes ...

Had an interesting error come in today from our app stating the following:
coldfusion.tagext.io.FileTag$FileUploadException
or also Can't find resource for base name coldfusion/tagext/io/FileTag.FileUploadException.properties

Basically all this means is that your box is out of space and CF can not write any files. Empty out some space and everything will start to work again.

I'd like to thank wellings.eu for their post which helped me get this error fixed quick with minimum brain injury.
