CF & the need to parse street addresses equals CF & Java & Python

This is a POC / WIP. I have been looking for a CF or Java solution to parse addresses.
What I have found so far that works best is a Python library.

The good thing is I came across a blog post by Mark Mandel RUNNING PYTHON ON COLDFUSION there is Jthon that allows you to run Python from Java & we all know you can run Java from CF.

The Python code I want to run is here

There is a nice web based example of it here

QUESTIONS:

  • Is there a PURE CF solution?
  • Is there a better Java solution?
  • Will this CF/Java/Python thing run like a slug?
  • Is there anything I missed?

RASPI Garage Door opener

This is a mashup of two projects, let me give the project creators credit.

RASPI gtalk Robot

Connecting a garage door remote to the Pi

What I did is use the hardware interface & the code to turn the pin high for one sec & the gtalk robot modified to work on a jwchat.org client.

This can be modified to work with any jabber client. It did not work for me with gtalk. :(

My other code tweak was to change from a single user to a list of users that are able to control the Pi & garage door opener.

Add the Pi User, Pass & list of admin accounts

Set the chat server address

Here is the modified code on github.

And here is the video on how it was done

Docker for Lucee & ColdFusion on the Mac

I'm a mac user and usually run Linux in a VM or on headless devices.

I have been Docker curious, but Docker requires Linux, you can do it in a VM, but running in Kitematic is sweet!

It makes everything really easy, so let get to the video & explore how to use Docker.
