 | 3 May 16:04 As it's 2AM and I've gotten back from seeing Iron Man, I'll keep this short and sweet. The movie was absolutely wonderful. I don't profess to be an Iron Man comic book expert, but from what I do know of the history, Robert Downey Jr. nailed him perfe... 3 May 06:47 Before I get started - you can download the Alpha now available. My notes from Joe's Model-Glue 3 presentation at cfObjective. Please pardon the bad writing here and some text are direct quotes without me using quotes (so basically, all copyright Joe). 3 May 03:54 During the keynote at cfObjective, Jason Delmore had a slide up for maybe 30 seconds or so. He hinted that something special was up there, although it was disguised to most as pseudo-code for fun. Looking at the code, and taking Jason's hints - it leads you to think that you may be able to fully develop CFCs with cfscript. I.e., a 100% script based CFC. Possible CF9 feature? 3 May 00:17 My last blog entry on the keynote at cfObjective had to be cut short, but I wanted to make sure folks got the news. Jason Delmore didn't get a chance to talk on it, but the slide was very clear. The "ColdFusion Open Process Initiative" will include both a public bug and enhancement request system. This is something people have been asking about for quite some time. 2 May 23:25 I'm sitting the keynote for cfObjective. Jason Delmore of Adobe is presenting and talking about how well ColdFusion is doing and about the latest 8.0.1 release. The topic now is Centaur, the new version of ColdFusion. I'll be updating this blog entry as he speaks, so please be sure to reload. Centaur is well underway he said. Adobe is still accepting and looking for new ideas so feel free to share. What kind of themes are being focused in for CF9? Tooling (new IDE perhaps? 2 May 20:58 Jen asks: i read your recent post on the cfhtmlhead tag and wondered if you might review why we would use the cfhtmlhead tag instead of a cfinclude? what are the pros and cons for each method? 2 May 12:17 I hinted around at it the last few days, but this morning I made it official. I've joined Broadchoice as the VP of Software Development. I've been working with them for a while now, and frankly, I've developed quite the geek crush on the company, bot... 1 May 23:00 Mark asks a question which I think touches on a basic misunderstanding many people have with ColdFusion and sessions: I am developing an AJAX RSS feed reader for a portal. I've read several proposed methods of handling sessions, but I don't any address my specific need. 1 May 06:47 A few pre-cfObjective project updates. Nothing critical. LighthousePro was updated with some fixes by Ron Stewart. I had forgot to change a few Loci strings to Area. He also added the public ID to the Excel exports which is nice. (The public ID is a simple number for bugs. I use UUIDs for primary keys. 1 May 00:37 For those who missed my presentation last night on open source and ColdFusion, you can watch it here: http://adobechats.adobe.acrobat.com/p87866843/ I've also attached the slide deck to the blog entry. This was my first new presentation in some time, so I rather enjoyed it. It was also the first presentation without any code that I've done in... um... forever I think. | | |
