- Railo Book Competition: The Winners!
A couple of weeks ago I run a competition to win my Railo 3 Beginner's Guide book. So now is the time to announce the winners!
In first place is Ben B. who wins a signed copy of the book for his myth "The cost for creating a cfc object is minimal and has no real cost."
In joint second place, winning an electronic copy of the book are:
Ray V. with his myth "Is there really a cookie called CFMagic?"
and
Steven R. with his myth "ColdFusion will always timeout to the value I provide in the ColdFusion Adminsitrator."In third place, winning a mention in my presentation is Brendan with his myth "cfml produced html is full of whitespace"
Congratulations to you all! I shall get the presentation updated for cf.Objective!
I have also put the code up on how I run the code and presentation on github, so you can check out the CFML Mythbusters presentation for yourself!

- CFCamp 2011! Be there or be a Pretzel!
Munich! City of Oktober fest and Pretzels! The big soft ones with butter inside. What could be more delicious than that? I tell you what is... CFCAMP 2011 is!
That's right ladies and gentle-folks, after a three year hiatus, there is going to be a stomping and knowledge-infusing conference in Munich this year, filled to the gills with awesome presenters and me!
For a measly €90 a ticket (going up to €119 in October, so get them whilst they are fresh!), your mind can be blown by the likes of Charlie Arehart (he of the inside secrets into ColdFusion 10!), Luis Majano (he of the mobile knowledge), Gary Gilbert exposing his JQuery to the public, Bilal Soylu will also be locking down your apps, and of course Andy Allan and myself, giving it all from our presenter's pulpit.
Sure you can't miss this?!
Head over to
http://www.cfcamp.org/anmeldung.cfmhttp://www.cfcamp.org/registration.cfm?ChangeLanguageTo=en to get your tickets (yep, it's in German, just use Chrome and translate it, you are a clever person right?This time in English! Don't say we don't spoil you!)

- Checking the memory of your applications in Railo 3.3.0.026 rc
If you have ever wondered how your memory is being used in a Railo Server application, why not get the latest development release of Railo Server: 3.3.0.026 rc (you know that you can do this from the server administrator right?).
Just go to http://yourdomain/railo-context/admin/server.cfm and log in, then you can click on the "update" button, set the updates to "Development", update and then click the "execute button below to get the latest update.
Once you have done that, in the Railo Server Administrator screen, you will see info about your installation and scrolling down you will get a nice graphic on how your memory is being used, like the example below:
Yet another handy feature of Railo Server! Nice!
