Which CFML-oriented blogs do you read?

G'day:
I was trying to track down one of my regular commenters - Bruce Kirkpatrick - on Twitter, as I didn't have him on my "following" list, and he's genererally got something interesting to say. Plus when he says it it takes 50000 words, so it's a good way to occupy myself for a day or two whilst I read through it.

Anyway, having successfully google-stalked him, I noticed he also has a blog (but, as it happens, not much of a Twitter presence), which I did not know about. So - anyway - I cranked up Thunderbird and added him to my subscription list.

restSetResponse() requires the method to be returntype void. What?

G'day:
I have to say I didn't even know the restSetResponse() function even existed until I read about it on Stackoverflow this afternoon. The Stackoverflow question drew my attention to this snippet in the docs:

You must set the returntype attribute of the function to void when a custom response is returned using the function restSetResponse.

Unexpectedly performance differences between listFind() and arrayFind() in ColdFusion

G'day:
This just cropped up whilst I was doing some research for work (yeah... on Good Friday. Working remotely is being a right pain, so I'm well behind on my stretch for the week, so playing catch-up today and tomorrow).

The main website I work on is a multi-lingual one, represented in 11 different languages. On the whole all language sites are treated equally, but in some situations there are exceptions (I'm wary about discussing work stuff on my blog, so I'm going to stay vague here).

How did you come to be using Railo? (survey results)

G'day:
I've got 80-odd results for the survey I started the other day. This was one of the best and fastest responses I've had on the various surveys I've run on this blog. I wonder if this is because it was just a very short survey (one question), it was something people felt like responding to, or just that more people read this blog these days? Dunno. Anyway: no-one cares about that.

So: the results. Firstly I'll repeat something I touch on with each of these surveys I do, and that Mark Drew alluded to in a comment against the original article relating to the survey. With the mechanisms available to me, these surveys are not reflective of a very broad population base and this can have a hand in pre-determining the results.

Email going AWOL between the ColdFusion spooler and the mail server

G'day:
I've nothing profound to say about this topic, but I just wanted to do my bit about:

1. getting it onto people's radar;
2. publicising it so Adobe might be more likely to do something about it.

Tim Cunningham just posted a status update on Twitter drawing my attention to this bug:  3312296, the summary of which is as follows:

Cfmail mailsent logs mail as successfully sent but the receiving server has no record of the connection attempt. Happens to about 1% of messages sent.

How did you come to be using Railo?

G'day
I've concocted a quick survey, which simply asks how you came to be a Railo developer, IE: whether they have come from a history of using ColdFusion or BlueDragon, or straight to Railo having not used any other CFML engine.

The survey is here now closed. The results have been posted.

Hungarian Notation (revisited)

G'day:
Ages ago (in the context of the lifetime of this blog, anyhow... Aug last year)  I wrote an article on my thoughts regarding Hungarian Notation. This fell back on my radar as someone has just posted a comment against that article.
