If you’re in the Washington, DC metro area and haven’t signed up for CFUN-04 you should do so now–it’s this weekend! Even if you’re not in the immediate area, this is a great conference for ColdFusion developers with content addressing all skill levels and a variety of topics with five different tracks.
Chafic and I are both speaking at the conference on Component Development in Flash MX 2004 and Integrating ColdFusion with Microsoft Office.
I just received notice that my proposal for MXEurope 2005 has been accepted. I’ll be speaking on creating e-mail agents in ColdFusion MX to assist with customer support. MXEurope is in London from January 31 through Februrary 2 next year.

Last year was my first time at CFUN and I thought it was a great conference with lots of topics covering all skill levels in a variety of CF-related areas. If you’re in the DC-metro area or are just looking for a great CF-specific conference, I highly suggest it. This year it’s June 26 & 27 in Rockville, MD. Read more about the conference.
FYI: If you’re coming from out of town, the conference is at the DoubleTree which is fairly expensive. There’s a Ramada Inn across the street.

Sapien released a new build of our favorite IDE over the weekend, PrimalScript 3.1.437. This minor update adds PrimalSense (aka Tag-Insight or Intellisense) to createObject calls to list all installed COM ProgID’s. This is a pretty nifty feature if you work with COM in ColdFusion.
PrimalScript users can download the latest software by using the Help: Check for Updates… command inside PrimalScript.
