Forward Engineering using Visio 2007 Database model to sql server

This is first ever I was trying for Visio Database model to design database without knowing that forward engineering doesn't support on Visio 2007. I googled it lot about this but doesn't find such direct option for forward engineering of Database model. After bit on searching I found that "Orthogonal Software Corporation" provide toolbox which let you export as xml of your database diagram and using xslt file (provided by Orthogonal Software Corportation) you can generate sql script.

Running multiple tomcat instances with Coldfusion standard version

Since last month I was working with Railo and ColdFusion 9 (standard edition) to clustering and load balancing. I have started with Railo as I was new to Railo and keen to work around it. I wrote several post about Railo installation
Configure multiple sites on RAILO, Tomcat and Windows
Configure multiple sites on RAILO, Tomcat and Windows - part ii
Running multiple instances of RAILO on tomcat.

Now it turn of ColdFusion for load balancing. I have googled it about but mostly found articles with enterprise edition and it is easy to implement but I want to work with developer/standard edition. Below is step by step instruction to running multiple ColdFusion (standard edition) instances on one computer.

Listing scheduled task.

I love cfschedule tag to create/update/delete schedule and use one file to create all schedules. This is really help whenever you switch server and require to transfer all schedule task from one hosting server to another one. As we all know Standard coldfusion server doesn't allow export facility and I am using around 25 schedule task to perform different scehdule operation. Whenever I need to add schedule file I add cfschedule tag in my cfm page and run it on server and it works great for me. But once programmer added tag and run file on server but it doesn't create schedule task and he is in under impression that task is created. I am not sure why it is not created and even doesn't display any error in this case but this push my mind to think on this single file shcule creation file

Mobile theme and theme switcher for Mango Blog.

Since couple of days I was reviewing jQuery Mobile and really impress with work it make it easy for us. Now it was time to create practical implementation of it. Since long time I was looking for mobile theme for our blog but didn't find any and I believe it is because of Mango Blog doesn't allow us to switch theme (skin) on request also looking into code I realise that all skin related information stored at Application level and changing for any visitor will affect everyone who visit blog.

To make Mango blog for mobile device compatible I created one theme using jQuery Mobile and plugin to change theme whenever request come from mobile device.
