Private instance vars show when JSON serialized in CF9
This is something I found interesting tonight. I made a CFC that sets private (variables scope) variables from the init parameters. They were not available by accessing them as obj.property, as expected. But when run through the serializeJSON function, those became available. I didn't expect this, but I think it's going to be handy for using them as lightweight transfer objects.

A Side Effect of ySlow and Firebug
A Side Effect of ySlow and Firebug I spent a number of hours researching a bug in a Model-Glue application. Each time a form was submitted successfully, a duplicate record showed up in the database. This application uses a number of frameworks and it wasn't very clear which layer was causing the problem. I started to dig into the issue, looking for any rhyme or reason and pinged my good buddy Ezra Parker for some sanity checks. After some intense debugging, we

Check-in for 2009 and Goals for 2010
In January of 2009 I wrote down some goals for the year, so I figure it's appropriate to look back and see what I accomplished from that list and where I fell short; and then set some new goals for this year.
- Learn Transfer and CF9 Hibernate
Status? Fail!
Admittedly, this was a pretty ambitious goal. And while I didn't manage to learn both, I have learned the basics of CF9's new baked-
