Pleasant surprise

Just discovered my nice new (long) leather coat does have another inside pocket, so I can have my phone and wallet in there rather than my ruck sack (which I tend to leave behind at FAB and have to run back for).

As a bonus, it's a full size one (but no zip) so my phone fits without the pain I had trying to get it back out of the pocket marked with the phone icon.

Running ColdFusion 7 on Windows Vista

Roland Collins writes "I've successfully gotten CF 7 running on
Vista (the full release) using IIS 7, and it works like a champ. There are
a couple of small manual configuration steps, but nothing too drastic. "

That'll teach 'im

Montoya, who left Formula to turn left a lot in the US, has exploded in flames, heh :-)

Private variables in CFCs

My least favorite bit of ColdFusion objects (CFCs) came up again toay on CF-Talk:

<cfset var foo = "bar">

Flash 9 player for linux

Matt Chotin said on FlexCoders:

Well, check with the next build [of the player],
it could be that the beta we put out had real problems.

Does this mean we can expect a 2nd beta of the linux plugin I wonder ?

One that maybe fixes the SIGSEGV crash during shutdown
(
#7 0xf5f3825e in NP_Shutdown ()
from /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so
#8 0xf6da0df2 in XtAppProcessEvent () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6
) ?
I can't tell if this just because it's a 32-bit plugin in a 32-bit browser on
an otherwise 64-bit O/S or not, but it does occur on all three (2xSuSE 10.0 and one SuSE 10.1) boxes we tried. I've submitted it as a bug report too, but they are not publicly searchable and this is :-)
