Follow-up to "212 untriaged ColdFusion 10 bugs"

G'day:
I found myself discussing the mountain of untriaged ColdFusion 10 bugs again just now, and thought I might check out if any progress has been made on them. The good news is that the list is down from 212 to 183. At least it's moving in the right direction.

I lost the code I used to generate the bug table for the earlier article, so I've knocked it together again, and this time saved it as a gist:

I've also chucked it up on CFMLDeveloper. I'll augment it at some stage to accept different CF versions, etc. Or someone could update the Gist and let me know and I'll chuck the updated version up there.

This is not exactly the finest code in the world, but it's handy. I stated working on a bug-update-notifier thing ages ago, but never finished it. I should crack on with it, I guess.

Anyway, my lunch needs eating, so I'm off.

What do I want to see in ColdFusion 11?

G'day:
I'm suffering a bit from motivation paralysis at the moment... I'm not suffering writer's block: if anything the opposite, I've got about a dozen articles on the go at the moment. Or maybe that means I've got writer's block a dozen times over? Dunno.

Anyway, this is just an easy article to bang out: listing a bunch of stuff.

Scotch on the Rocks: recap

G'day:
I didn't do a daily update of SotR like I did at cf.Objective(), instead sending Twitter updates in "real time" as things occurred to me. So if you want to know my general thoughts of the sessions I attended, have a look through my Twitter history. I was a bit haphazard as to whether I had space to include a #sotr13 tag, but they should be easy to spot amongst the rugby / cricket / environmentalism (Rob Glover, I'm looking at you ;-) chatter. In summary of those later three: NZ lost the cricket (although won the series), won the rugby, and I withdrew (mostly in despair) from the environmentalism discussion.

What thoughts was I left with for Scotch on the Rocks? In no particular order:

Censorship on Adobe ColdFusion forums etc: resolved

G'day:
This is the final chapter in the ongoing story which started with an Adobe forum moderator making some questionable censorship decisions on a form thread I was trying to help on, and continued as Madison Murphy from Adobe worked with me towards a resolution.

ColdFusion / Railo WebSockets survey results

G'day:
I didn't get much interest in the "ColdFusion / Railo WebSockets: do you use 'em?" survey as mentioned in my article the other day. Not to worry. I think that speaks for itself in a way: plenty of people looked at the article, but not so many figured it was worth their while / interest in filling out the survey.

I only got 24 responses, but here's the breakdown of those I got.

This is a follow-up to my post the other day about Adobe censoring a thread I was involved in on their ColdFusion forums. I've had a response from Madison Murphy from Adobe. Madison has been very helpful thusfar. She's agreed to let me publish her email below:
