[cfaussie] Re: Can CF8 make "SOAP with attachments" calls
Thanks for that so far. We're getting closer, but still not there yet. We can generate a request that works using SOAPUI. Here is the raw request from it.

[cfaussie] Can CF8 make "SOAP with attachments" calls
We need to call an existing software service here from our CF8 and Flex app, and we need to access it (to submit a file for storage) via "SOAP with Attachments". We can't see how to do this from within CF and haven't had much luck with Google. If you try to mix the request content types in the SOAP call, you get a CF error. Here's the code: - http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/ envelope/"> CustomerTest Bluehills.jpg http://servername:16400/easyimage/services/ EasyImageService" username="username" password="password" method="post" resolveurl="no" redirect="yes" charset="utf-8"> ---> Here's the error: You may not mix the use of cfhttpparam tags of type FILE or FORMFIELD with cfhttpparam tags of type BODY or XML. The error occurred in E:\euc_smallapps\_test\cfml\Fred_SOAP1.cfm: line 45 43 : 44 : 45 : 46 : 47 : Has anyone ever been able to get this to work? Does anyone have any suggestions?

[cfaussie] CF on JRUN or TomCat?
Does anyone on this list have any experience running CF on TomCat instead of JRUN? I need something that will handle multiple instances of CF on the same server, with different version of CF (6.5, 7 and 8) with different CF Admin settings for each. I'd like it to still be able to hook into IIS, as I need the PC authentication information to flow from the client the way it does with IIS. JRUN is currently allowing this, but I'm not sure if TomCat can do that. Does anyone know of any other pros or cons for running CF under TomCat? Any gotchas, bad experiences or good online documentaion for doing this?

[cfaussie] Re: CF8 clustering - adding new instance
If you have a JRUN setup with multiple JRUN containers on the one JRUN server, where is the setting that controls whether any individual container is automatically started up when the JRUN service fires up after a system reboot? I've got a collection of containers on several jrun servers, and most of the containers don't automatically start up after a system reboot, and need to be manually started. After a restart, its always the same containers that are running and the same containers that are stopped. I think there's an XML setting for this, but trawling through all the XML files manually has revealed nothing, and looking in the JRUN documentation and Google searching has also revealed nothing. Anyone have any ideas about this? Regards Darren Tracey --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

[cfaussie] Re: programmer etiquette and writing good CF code
I just wanted to point out a few things to anyone in the know. Barry is currently doing work for me, fixing up the project he is working on, and that he has talked about here. I am not the original coder on this project. A contractor was brought in for this. For a variety of reasons, the people responsible for explaining coding standards and reviewing code, seem to have done neither (again not me). The contractor was sold to us as a 'senior developer' with extensive experience. The contractor in question has, to my knowledge, never posted to this list, so no one here is likely to know him/her. The contractor in question does not do CF work anymore. (there IS a God!) I have worked previously on this project a little, after the original contractor but before Barry. Most of my time was spent equally pulling my hair out and fixing mind bogglingly stupid code. Barry was warned before he started that the code he would be working on was very bad. (clearly he thought I was exagerating!) This project was not a badly evolved and misbegotten prototype stretched beyond its life or intent. This was a built from scratch, designed, prototyped project, with screen layouts, business rules, etc, and a very healthy original development schedule. Admittedly, the original documentation was messy and not well layed out, but it was all there and there were also people to ask if anything wasn't clear. I just wanted to point these things out as I didn't want anyone to think for 1 second that I was responsible for this awful code, and I also didn't want anyone considering doing work for us (we're hiring!) to be concerned that this was the norm or even a small chunk of the type of code we have. It is a single, one off, really painfully awful piece of code amongst a sea of otherwise average code.

[cfaussie] Creating Excel files with multiple worksheets
Making an Excel files come out of your CF pages is pretty straight forward with tables and CFContent. Is there any way to make an Excel file that has multiple worksheets? The solutions I've found involve calling COM objects for a server copy of Excel, but my server doesn't have Excel installed so I can't use that method. How would you make a second (or third) worksheet in an Ecel output file without having Excel installed on the server?

[cfaussie] CF Report Builder problem
I'm using CF Report Builder (the one that came with CF7) build 144677. Before you ask, no I can't upgrade to the CF8 Report Builder. The problem I have is this. I have a report that has a page footer (date and page number) and also a Report footer (totals and things like that). There is a little over 4 lines of detail in the Report footer. If the report footer can't fit at the end of the page, it gets put at the top of the next page, which is now the last page of the report. This is fine. The problem is that this last page with just the report footer on it _doesn't_ get the Page footer at the bottom of its page. Its counted in the page count. ie. if this last page is the 4th page, then the previous page will have 'Page 3 of 4' in its footer, but the last page has no footer at all. Any reports that have so much as one detail line on the last page do get the page footer on the last page. Has anyone come across this before? Does anyone know a work around or a fix? Is this a known bug? I've googled on this but haven't found anything useful.

[cfaussie] How can I allow a user to _type_ a date into a datefield in a CF7 flash form
I have a CF7 flash form with some datefields. The default behaviour for these is that you have to use the calendar control to put in a date, and to change months or years you have to do many, many, many clicks on the arrows on either side of the date. Clicking in the empty text box next to the calendar icon only opens the calendar. The users and I would really like to be able to just type a date into the text box, but this doesn't seem to be an option. LiveDocs talks about the HTML version being able to type into the field. Does anyone have a way of allowing a date to be typed into a CF7 Flash form datefield? This is a large existing app, so unfortunately changing from CF7 or from Flash forms is not an available option.

[cfaussie] Free ActionScript 3.0 tour featuring Colin Moock (in Sydney)
This was announced over the weekend by Adobe. One of the 10 cities being hit around the world is Sydney. I would think that for the opportunity to get a day of free AS3 training with Colin Moock, that it would be worth footing the airfares to get yourself to Sydney for the day (if you happen to live somewhere nicer, like say, Brisbane!). The dates and registration for the Sydney event are not open yet, but shouldn't be far off and will fill fast, so keep you eye on it. Regards Darren Tracey CFUG QLD Manager -- Adobe is hosting a free ActionScript 3.0 tour with Colin Moock. We'll be hitting 10 cities around the world beginning the end of Oct. More details are available on the site at: www.adobeas3tour.com. (Note: final dates are still tbd for many of the cities, but this years schedule is available.) Registration is required. This is a great opportunity for our Flash and Flex customers to learn AS3 from the man himself. Adobe Presents - Colin Moock's ActionScript 3.0: From the Ground Up Tour Join internationally renowned ActionScript expert Colin Moock for an intensive full day of ActionScript 3.0 training. Based on Moock's best-selling Essential ActionScript 3.0 (O'Reilly, 2007), this one-day event covers everything you need to get started programming in ActionScript 3.0. Topics include object-oriented programming, classes, objects, variables, methods, packages, conditionals, loops, operators, functions, error handling, event handling, display programming, compiling, and running programs. Who should attend? This course is targeted at Flash users with beginner to intermediate programming skills. Those completely new to ActionScript are welcome to attend, but may feel overwhelmed by the quantity of information in the course. This course does not cover expert-level topics. Advanced ActionScript 3.0 programmers are unlikely to encounter new concepts, but are welcome to attend for a refresher on ActionScript programming fundamentals.

[cfaussie] Re: Request VS Application Scope
The important thing to realise is how long each of these scopes last, and where they can be seen. Server scope is available to every page on the server, regardless of application name specified. Their timeout is defined in your Cf administrator, and typically last for a few days. Put things in here that are relevant to every application application and not to specific applications or users. This scope is empty for the first user of the server, or if no one has visited the server for the specified timeout period. Application scope is available to every page that shares the same application name in your cfapplication tag. Their timeout is defined in your Cf administrator, and typically last for a few days. Put things in here that are relevant to the entire application and not to specific users. This scope is empty for the first user of the application, or if no one has visited the application for the specified timeout period. Session scope is available to every page that one user calls in their session within one app. Their timeout is defined in your Cf administrator, and typically last for a few hours, or when the user's session timesout. Put things in here that are relevant to the user's session and not to just one page. This scope is empty for the each user when they start a new session, or if they allow their session to timeout. Request scope is available to every part of a single page request. This scope is created when a page load is started and is lost when the page finishes loading. Put things in here that are relevant to just this page, where you want something to be available to several sections of the same page. This scope is empty at the beginning of each and every page, and is cleared at the end of each and every page. Its important to remember to check for whether these variables have timed out or not, for all cases except for request. Generally, I'd set a bunch of them in a logical group, high up in the Application.cfm (or similar) and surround them with a condition that tests for the existance (isdefined) of one of the variables in the group (because if one timesout, they'll all timeout). That way they only get set if they don't exist, but they will always be set if the don't exist. And as Andrew was saying, back in the day, I'd have great herds of values in the Application scope and then move them at the beginning of every page into the request scope, so that I only had to lock the application scope when this copy was done. In these enlightened days, this is not necessary (under normal conditions). Hope that helps.

Thats two points Scott. 1. Scepticism. I've never claimed not to be a sceptic. Is it too much, or am I just being cautious? Its not a descision that only effects me, so I'll always err on the side of caution. 2. Reasons for moving. You gave two actually. As I explained before, at this point, we couldn't be bothered moving, because there just isn't enough reason to do it that benefits the User Group, beyond it just being a novelty, and secondly, we are comfortable where we are. And as you said, they are valid and OK reasons. > I remember at the Flash Platform User Group you walked up and said > "Adobe are coming here so if you need to leave let me know"... > Seriously dude, you need to move past this Adobe vs Microsoft crap > that you're somehow subscribing too as my metric within Microsoft is > anything that touches a browser and pieces that support it. Scott, that quote has been taken grossly out of context, and you know it. It was said as a joke, with a huge grin on my face, in relation to other peoples attitudes, that you knew I wasn't subscribing to. Don't start stooping to behaving like that or you'll be reinforcing the attitudes that you are trying to change. Microsoft is currently battling against its reputation for past behaviours. You've got to change those behaviours, and keep them changed, _without_exception_, before you can expect people to believe you've really changed.

[cfaussie] Re: QLD CFUG March meeting announcement.
I'd also like to add a little to the CFUGs in Microsoft issue. I pondered this exact same thing recently myself. Its an interesting idea that you could hold your CFUG meeting in the premises of your 'competitor'. Getting free stuff out of Microsoft is also always nice. But thats it. There's no other real value add. We get our catering costs covered by the local Adobe office, we get sufficient free giveaways from Adobe as well, and we have a very good venue also provided at no cost. Apart from being interesting, what do we gain from holding it at Microsoft? (yes I know this all stemmed from an internet connection issue, but there are other ways around that) The people at Microsoft are _far_ from idiots. They don't do things for no reason, or even trivial reasons. People can say all they want that it doesn't matter, and "we're not idiots, we won't be swayed", but in the end, it does make a difference, and it doesn't "feel right". Microsoft are far too keen, so they are obviously seeing it as a non trivial benefit to them. I'm not seeing any kind of benefit beyond the trivial that the CFUG gets from the arrangement, and at the end of the day, they are the competitor. As I've said in other lists lately, there are places to go to get info about Microsoft products and places to go to get info on Adobe products, and the two should be seperate and distinct things. Everyone knows where to get info about Microsoft products. The CFUG community doesn't have to facilitate information flow about competing technologies. I have no problem with getting someone from Microsoft in to tell us about technologies that we want to hear about, but its still our meeting, and its our call as to what is covered and what is not covered, and you start to loose that control when you accept 'incentives' like hosting, etc, from any vendor. Its a slippery slope, and there may not be any problems with doing it either, but the trick is to avoid the potential situations where compromising your aims and objectives becomes possible or is removed from your control. The risk is small, but the benefit is even smaller, so its just not worth taking it, in my mind. Thats why we're doing what we're doing.

[cfaussie] Re: QLD CFUG March meeting announcement.
If you hold meetings in a business's premises, then you're not plugging 'the internet cable' into a laptop, you're connecting a foreign pc into the guts of their internal network. Any sane network admin would justifiably freak at that prospect. There also may be all sorts of proxy settings and possibly even accounts that would be required to make them work. In short, its something that you just don't do. You use PC equipment thats already on the network and don't install anything that they don't want, or only use data projection with presenters laptops and don't connect the network.

[cfaussie] Re: Free webDU tickets
Microsoft is not an evil empire. Microsoft is a large, intelligent, well informed business, who's objective is to grow its business in any way that it legally can. It can, and should, take any opportunity to take advantage of any weakness or business mistake that any current or potential competitor makes, and exploit it to the maximum benefit for itself and its shareholders. Should any competing business wish to follow a similar objective, then it should reduce and eliminate any weaknesses or business mistakes that a company like Microsoft could take advantage of. Microsoft is not Evil, its just very good at doing what it does, especially if its competitors allow it. Furthermore, if Microsoft want to pay for my webDU ticket and provide me with 3 Microsoft shirts, I'll wear them for the duration of the conference, while I'm at conference events.

[cfaussie] Re: CF and .NET (Followup).
At the risk of igniting this any further, my original objection was more to do with the fact that the page that Scott originally linked to has 5 links at the top of the list that are CF related (which is good), but they are all "Live Webcasts", available at specific times only, each one occuring once over the next 2 weeks. All the other links on the page are Not CF specific, or even relevant, but are just plain "convert to .Net" material, and are either "On Demand Webcasts" or "Virtual Labs", and are convieniently available any time you want, as often as you want, and not just at 5am on Tuesday morning. I'll be checking back to the site after the first couple are done to see if the recordings of the CF sessions are offered "On Demand" after the sessions. We need to be encouraging more people out there to start taking up CF as a language, not pointing out to the developers we currently have that their nearest exit may be behind them. There is a shortage of developers out there at the moment, and there are businesses clammouring to get them. If you have a desperate desire to learn .Net, there are places that you'll be able to find on the net that will show you how to do that, and the Australian ColdFusion mailing list shouldn't be one of them. Converting developers to be .Net developers is Microsoft's job, not the ColdFusion community's. Postings that promote people to go to .Net shouldn't be accepted here, as you can bet that CF promotion isn't tolerated on any .Net lists. Even posts that wrap the convert message up in an ever so polite "just helping you out" veneer. Darren Who'd like to get his own popcorn and jaffas when he gets a chance.

Don't you think I shouldn't do that then? Do you think maybe that wouldn't be the right place to put a whole bunch of ColdFusion tutorial information?

[cfaussie] Re: CF and .NET (Followup).
Scott As our local Microsoft rep, I was wondering if you could provide a list of all the online mailing list and discussion forums for .net developers? I've got a whole bunch of links for online ColdFusion training modules and I thought I could post them to all the .Net forums, because I hear there's a glut of .Net developers and they could probably all benefit from the many high paying CF job vacancies that CF businesses are having trouble filling at the moment. It would be a great benefit for our poor .net cousins. A real win-win synergistic opportunity! I'm sure you'll be happy to help these people out.

[cfaussie] Re: Strange calculation behavior on CF 7.02
Gareth Why are you doing this: ? What's wrong with int() or round()? This strikes me as a very round about way to knock some decimals off. Is there some special reason for this, or is it an exercise in trying to confuse the CF engine as to whether its dealing with a number or a string?

[cfaussie] Re: [OT] Calculate distance with long/lat
If performance is an issue and you use pythagorus, then don't find the square root of the two squared sides, but compare it to the squared distance desired. e.g. if you want to know things within a 10 km distance, then compare X*X+Y*Y < 100. Finding a square root is extremely expensive computationally, and if you can avoid it, it will trim your time dramatically.

George Of course, if he is still hell bent on following the .net path based on what was in Google Trends, then show him the kitten thing and say goodbye to your days as a web developer.

[cfaussie] Re: ColdFusion trend?
Barry, I don't think kittens class as wildlife. I think the Australian environment would greatly benefit from vast quantities of kittens being shipped out of Australia. I have visions of vast herds of Aussie school children combing alleys, backyards and bushland for any unguarded kittens and earning pocket money (and valuable export dollars) by shipping them to, according to this page: http://www.google.com/trends?q=kittens&ctab=1&geo=all&date=all New Zealand, or even the UK. Google does make the world a happier place! George, I'm hoping you can provide your Boss with a shortened version of this thread pointing out just how unreliable the Google Trends tool is for basing such an important business decision. He needs to realise that these results do not indicate pages written in these languages. It seems to be just the number of times those specific words (and they can be way out of context too) are used in pages that Google has indexed.

[cfaussie] Re: webDU 2007: 22-23 March 2007, Hilton Sydney
I think this is the core of the issue. WebDU is not run by a major vendor is is not aimed at selling you more product. If that were the case, then yes, it should move around and semi regularly be conveniently close to you. If it were run by Adobe, its content would undoubtably be different (as I've heard the content at Max is different from WebDU), and we would be justified in expecting it to come to us occasionally. But it isn't being run by Adobe, and when you go there, you aren't having product shoved down your throat, which makes it a more valuable event for you to attend, so any extra effort you have to make to get there is justified. It might be more convenient for you if it was held in the meeting room just down the hall from your office, but in the bigger picture, it just doesn't make sense. Can I also say that, having been to a big conference that was just down the road from my office, there is a lot to be said for getting physically away from your office, and even your home for these events. It forces you to have a much higher level of immersion in the whole experience, and makes it harder for people back in the office to call you back for trivial things that could have waited anyway, just because you were just down the road. Its so much easier to be insulated from trivial problems if you're "interstate at a conference" than "just down the road today and tomorrow and able to be back in the office with 5 minutes notice". Also I've said this before, but I get as much from a WebDU outside of the session, than I do from in the sessions themselves. This includes the socialising with the big names in the industry, getting in their ears, becoming familiar with them, and all these things. If I was at a conference in Brisbane, the pressure would be there to be home at a normal time after the last session, and all that interaction would be lost. I really enjoy staying up with the people at the conference (who shall remain nameless) until 3am, and I really do get a benefit from doing that that makes my professional life easier. I just couldn't see that happening if I was home. Its also a bit of a commitment thing. The Brisbane people I see at WebDU/MXDUs are clearly commited to their career path. They've either put the effort into convincing an employer to pick up the expense (which is usually not the easiest thing), or they've covered the expense themselves (and people, it should be tax deductible. see your accountant). Its great to see people that committed, and they always come out of it glad they've spent (invested) that money in their own careers. And how much are they really talking about? $200 tops for airfares, and about the same for accomodation? You should be able to get the airfares cheaper if you don't leave it to the last minute, and the accomodation costs can come way down if you share with someone, or do something else to split the costs. and then you get some of it back from your tax. Thats way less than you'll spend on a single day of training, and I guarantee that you'll get that much benefit just from being in and around the venue of the event (ie I'm not counting the session contents). If some training to advance your own career isn't worth spending that much money on, then you aren't taking your own career seriously.

[cfaussie] Re: webDU 2007: 22-23 March 2007, Hilton Sydney
I'm possible the biggest proponent of CF in Queensland, and I'm more than happy for WebDU to be in Sydney. Its run by Daemon, and to my knowledge is _NOT_ run to make money, but to build community. THIS community. It takes a huge amount of effort and planning each year, and I would think it would be an even bigger effort if it had to be organised by Geoff and the other Daemonites in a city other than Sydney. If it were run by Adobe, then yes, it should move around, just like the other big conferences run by their parent companies (TechEd, Max, etc), but its run by a Sydney company, for _our_ benefit, so anything we can do to make it easier for them to organise it, is a good thing for us. Sydney is the most central place for the eastern coast of Australia, and as Barry said, if you book your tickets through Virgin Blue in the next couple of months, then its really not that expensive. You could always start up your own conference in the city of your choice!

If you're at all interested in attending, or being aware of, the monthly meetings we hold, then I would strongly recommend going to this URL: http://groups.google.com/group/qldcfug and joining the list (its another Google Group, so joining is easy, and you already know how to do it!). It a very low volume, one way list with typically just 2 emails a month. We are also experimenting with Google Calendars, and have a calendar set up for meeting dates here: http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ffib6djpcs6qfa2bbm3ploc9js%40group.calendar.google.com This month at CFUG QLD: Hot on the heals of the growing interest in Adobe's Flex Authoring, the October meeting of the Qld CFUG is delving into how to get Coldfusion into the act. This will be an "easing into" the Flex world with follow-ups planned for the rest of the year. Adobe engineers have been working hard to try and make ColdFusion a "first class citizen" in the Flex world, so this month we'll be exploring just what that means for ColdFusion programmers.

[cfaussie] Re: Why buy into CF?
I agree with Jeremy on this one too. It may be well and good to promote a strong grassroots love for CF in the developer community, but with a complete absence of visibility to the decision making tier of businesses (a group which is almost mutually exclusive to the developer community), it gets very hard for the developers to argue the case for this 'unknown' solution, and senior management just doubt the developers strong opinions (or worse, start to consider them zealots), as its seems to senior management that the developers suggestions are in complete disconnect to what senior management can see of the market. I don't know if advertising is the solution, and I accept that its very expensive, but something needs to be done to raise CFs visibility to the non developer community. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

We also have a very special offer from one of the commercial Search Engine Optimisation subscription services, so don't miss this one! The meeting will also have our regular (and ever popular) general open floor Q&A discussion, so bring your questions and problems. As usual there will be free pizza, subways, (party foods!) and drinks. If you haven't already, then please RSVP by noon Tuesday, 8th of August as it helps make sure there's enough pizza and subs for everyone. There's still plenty of goodies left in our Adobe 'care package', so another good chunk of it will be given away at this month's meeting, including the copy of Studio 8, and a copy of Ben Forta's Advanced Web Application Construction Kit, and as usual only people who RSVP to me and tell me that they're coming will go in the prize draw. IF YOU DON'T RSVP, YOU DON'T GO IN THE PRIZE DRAW! Send that email now!! Don't miss it. See you there.

[cfaussie] Next QLD CFUG meeting VENUE CHANGE, Tuesday 4th July in the Brisbane CBD
Please note that we have had to have a last minute venue change for tonight's CFUG meeting. The new venue for tonight is now at 388 Queen Street, which is very close to the Riverside Centre, our regular meeting venue. If you are standing outside the Riverside Centre facing the street, just cross the road and go to your right a little, go down Eagle Lane (first street/lane you come to) and you will be at Queen Street directly opposite 388 Queen Street. There will be a small CFUG sign on the door, and you may not be able to get in very far due to after hours security, so either call my mobile number (0419 647 655) or if its before 6:30pm, just wait until someone comes to get you. If you vane already RSVPed, I'd really appreciate it if you could send me another email just to let me know that you've seen that the venue has changed. Please note that the new venue details will not be on the website, due to the lateness of the change. Besides the venue change, all other details remain unchanged.

Mike Nimer is a senior engineer on the ColdFusion engineering team, responsible for the ColdFusion / Flex Flash Remoting adapter, a number of the ColdFusion FlexBuilder plug-ins, as well as the enhancements to CFForm in ColdFusion 7. Mike has also written much of the ColdFusion Administrator for the last few major versions. Before joining the engineering team, Mike spent three years working as a senior consultant with the Macromedia consulting group, where he provided on-site assistance to customers with their architecture planning, code reviews, performance tuning, and general code and server emergencies.

[cfaussie] Re: TONIGHT : Melbourne Coldfusion Design and Development User Group Meeting (Was CFUG)
If 6 months is a ridiculous amount of time to wait for a meeting, then should we assume that you'll be organising the venue, topics and speakers for the next meeting in 4 weeks time? You'll actually need to have it organised within about 3 weeks, as you'll need to start promoting it for the week leading up to the meeting. I'd bet large sums of money that Steve would accept any and all help in this manner. If you're not happy with what's being offered, and think there's any small amount you can offer, then offer it! These are community meetings. Run for the community, by the community. You could insert a John F Kennedy quote in here about not asking for things, but I won't.

mydomains.com should do the trick for you. You can manage domains there for free. More advanced options start to cost you, but its pretty cheap. The service is fantastic.

[cfaussie] Adobe Announces Resignation of President, Stephen Elop, who was formerly CEO of Macromedia.
Another post from the User Group Manager list. None of the text below is mine. - fyi ... following are excerpts from this link: www.publish.com/article2/0,1895,1977422,00.asp Adobe Announces Resignation of President, Stephen Elop, who was formerly CEO of Macromedia. Adobe also announced that its quarterly profit fell 18 percent due to charges related to its acquisition of Macromedia. Adobe also cut its financial forecast for the rest of 2006. The promise of Adobe's merger with Macromedia was the integration of Web, print and publishing software. Adobe has yet to release any software that reflects this integration. The official press release is here: www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200606/061506StephenElop.html I had liked knowing that former MM people were in senior positions. My guess is that in Silicon Valley Stephen is a hot property and we are likely to see him recruited for a start up or other fast growth company. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

[cfaussie] New Senior Product Manager for ColdFusion
This was posted to the User Group Manager list by Ed Sullivan, our Adobe User Groups contact. Darren Tracey CFUG QLD Manager Australia Hello Folks, As many of you know, Tim Buntel left the company awhile back and since then we have been looking for his replacement. Well the search has concluded and I would like to introduce Adobe's new Senior Product Manager for ColdFusion, Jason Delmore. I have included a little about Jason below and I am sure you'll be hearing/seeing his name more and more in the upcoming months. Best, Ed Jason began his career in the weather industry as an operational weather forecaster. His interest in programming however, very quickly led him to an internet startup working on ColdFusion projects, and has spent the last 8 years leading ColdFusion development teams. In his latest role, Jason was the Director of Engineering at Deploy Solutions, a leading provider of hiring and talent management software. His team was awarded the HRExecutive Magazine's Top HR Product of the Year for their Onboarding product line. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

This month's feature topic is a special presentation by William Wechtenhiser on Flex Data Services. William is the Director of the Flex Enterprise team at Adobe. We'll also have a special new section call 'Tool Tips', that I'm hoping will become a semi-regular topics at our meetings. We'll be looking at a collection of useful utility apps. The kind of things that make your development life easier and make you more productive. Richard Turner-Jones from QMUG will be sharing with us his favourite set of utility apps. The meeting will also have our usual (and ever popular) general open floor Q&A discussion, so bring your questions and problems. As usual there will be free pizza, subways and drinks. If you haven't already, then please RSVP by noon Tuesday, 2nd of May, as it helps make sure there's enough pizza and subs for everyone. The first Adobe 'care package' has arrived. There's lots of cool and interesting things in it, so there'll be lots of new Adobe branded give-aways, and a clean out of some of the older stuff too.

[cfaussie] Re: Commonwealth Games warps the space time continuum
Barry! You're supposed to be on duty today at the border building the light dams. All that extra Southern sunlight's just a few weeks away! Think of the curtains, Barry! And the cows!! Its all going to end in tears!! My question from all this is this: Why wasn't the Queen's batton on fire? What's the point of running a stick all around the place if its not burning?!

[cfaussie] Flash Vulnerability Announcement
Thought I'd get in before the Doom and Panic Merchants got the upper hand. This problem effects version 8, including previous versions of the 8.5 beta. http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=181504027&subSection=Columns This article came out a day or so ago, and (I think) the author seems to have a very low opinion of Flash to start with. But fear not! Updates are already available: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/security/security_zone/apsb06-03.html There is also supposed to be an update for the 8.5 beta with this fix in it, available today sometime.

[cfaussie] Re: waaaay OT: WebDU gift: the Logitech camera
Here's a simple test to show which format is the better of the two. Go and get yourself a cheap generic hardware device. Unwrap it, plug it in, see if it work first go. Use supplied drivers if required. How does your platform of choice stack up to this challenge? Now if only we had a small device... maybe a usb device... something that lots of people on this list would have, so our sample sizes were nice and large... something nice and new, so we'd be certain that they'd work. Any suggestions? ;-) Darren who enjoys poking sticks at less fortunate people, especially if they can't hit back. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

[cfaussie] Re: files now only 0k
This confused me at first. I couldn't see what your problem was. Surely if your files are all OK, then you have no problem. Then the penny dropped that you meant that they had a zero size, and were 0kB, not that they were O.K. There isn't any chance that your cf server has run out of HDD space, or that the directory that CF sits it, where it will put the temporary file before it writes of to your destination directory, is full, or some permissions have changed, or something along these lines?
