Time to take a visit to the site of the great ColdFusion "troubleshooter", Charlie Arehart. Charlie has put together an exhaustive list of tools and resources for ColdFusion. Titled CF411, the site features over 1,200 links and is quite comprehensive. The greatest part is it appears Charlie is actively maintaining the list, with the last update being only days before this post.

The wonderful Kush Amerasinghe wrote an article that was just posted on Adobe Edge regarding building AdobeTV. The article is more technical and provides insight into the Adobe technology behind the site. Definitely worth the read:

After building hundreds and hundreds of samples, we are rapidly approaching the first release of the Tour de ColdFusion.

Be sure to start getting any samples you would like to include in the Tour ready. We will be posting instructions for submitting your samples shortly. Our goal is to show both current and new developers the power of ColdFusion and everything that is possible.

Lastly, in addition to the Tour de ColdFusion Google Group, we have created a Twitter account where we will be making announcements and updates: http://twitter.com/tourdecf

I recently made an update to a table and start receiving a weird error:

even though the SQL hadn't changed and I had only added a column to the database. Well, it turns out that cfqueryparam and ColdFusion do some weird caching that was causing the error. If changed the query (i.e. change the order of the WHERE statements (which didn't change the results)), the error went away.

Truly a weird error.

I recently went looking on how to install language packs for Solr as you normally would for Verity. It turns out that you don't have to do anything special to use different locales in Solr.

You can then specify any of these languages: Brazilian, cjk (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), French, Russian, Czech, Dutch, German, Thai, Chinese, English, or Greek

Then just use cfindex to update your collection as you normally would.

ColdFusion Builder Beta2 will expire on January 1st, 2010. Beta3 is out and free to upgrade. I recommend upgrading early so you aren't trying to download the update on the same day everybody else who forgot.
