This one was found by a ColdFusion user at Lockheed Martin who sent me a CFC that could not be invoked via SOAP, on every call it threw "Duplicate declaration of local variable t" errors. The problem? "t" is kind of reserved, the CFC to Java conversion code defines "t" as java.lang.Throwable. This...
Paul Colton was one of the creators of JRun (originally by Live Software, later acquired by Allaire, and now part of the Macromedia family of products). I'd lost touch with Paul since he left Allaire, but French online magazine dotnet-fr is running an interview with him. As per the interview (which...
Steve Nelson has created some really nice HomeSite (and ColdFusion Studio) add-ons. He has a documentation generator, a test generator, and several utilities specifically for Fusebox users. The full tool list is at http://www.secretagents.com/index.cfm?&fuseaction=tools.listtools.

MAX is heading to Tokyo, Japan. DevCon Tokyo last year was an incredible success, and I have every reason to believe that MAX (February 19-20, 2004) will be too. I am not sure exactly what I'll be presenting there yet, but if you're in that part of the world, I hope to see you there. Details are at...
Paul Hastings knows internationalization, localization, and globalization issues like few others, and he also seems to know all there is to know about how these subjects pertain to ColdFusion. Paul (who wrote the chapter on this subject for my Advanced ColdFusion book) has written a great article...
www.com.br has published an interview they did when I was down in São Paulo last month. It looks like the full article is for subscribers only (http://www.europanet.com.br/euro2003/index.php?cat_id=21), but here's a cover shot http://www.europanet.com.br/upload/www/capa42g.jpg. (Thanks to...
