Got a very nice email this morning, and because the power is down to the dev. DB I thought I'd post it :

"I always know it's time for me to go to bed when you start popping up all over Flexcodrers :).
We've never met, but I want to let you know, you do a fantastic job of the Flex community. It's guys like you that help build the user base, which in turn, makes my blog look a lot more reasonable. Keep up the good work. I always enjoy seeing my inbox filled with you imparting wisdom :)"

Gotta keep up my hero'ing duties (Baby remember my name), so I'll shortly be posting a DateUtil ActionScript class that has a few handy functions in it, include a string to date parser that is eight times better than Adobe's (see attached screen shot of the test cases). I rock :-)

And I still have a series of articles on building tiered service architectures in ColdFusion, Reactor and ColdSpring to write about.
