Thanks to the comments in our coding guidelines post we have added a ColdFusion Builder formatter.  Just go to Eclipse Preferences > ColdFusion > Profiles > Formatter and click on the Import button.  You can download our formatter from here: http://ortus-public.s3.amazonaws.com/ortus-formatter.xml

The Ortus coding guidelines can be found here http://wiki.coldbox.org/wiki/DevelopmentBestPractices.cfm.  This includes several CFML and ColdBox guidelines to help with projects.

I just wanted to share the Ortus coding guidelines with the rest of the community.  We have updated our coding guidelines document in our wiki: http://wiki.coldbox.org/wiki/DevelopmentBestPractices.cfm.  This includes several CFML and ColdBox guidelines to help with projects.  Would love any feedback.

If you ever wanted to check out WireBox for dependency injection in your ColdFusion applications, you can check out the release of the Ortus WireBox RefCard.  A great way to start and get a 20,000 foot view of the framework.

I just wanted to mention a book that my friend Henrik Joreteg has now released: Human JavaScript - Practical patterns for simple but powerful JavaScript apps.  I used to work with Henrik at ESRI and had the opportunity to share with him for a long time..  He is an awesome dude, incredibly smart and we called him the "Vikingo" due to his Viking roots.  Best of all, he knows his JavaScript.  This book is tremendous for both newbies and gurus alike.  I hope you like the book as much as I did.  Here is his awesome intro video:

Here is a simple nice command to figure out how many processors or cores are assigned to a *unix machine.

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l

This basically processes the lines containing the processor information and counts them up for you, I got 4.  Try the same commands without the word count (wc) pipe and you can get much more information in detail.

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor

By trying the above I got the following:

processor	: 0
processor	: 1
processor	: 2
processor	: 3

Try it even further without the grep for processor and you get lots of detailed information about your system.  Try it out!

cat /proc/cpuinfo

I am happily surprised I can finally do this in Windows: Open a terminal right on a folder I want in the explorer.  Maybe this features has always been there but I just recently found that that if you do a "shift-right click" on a folder you get more options and one of them is the Open command windows here.  I was so excited about this (geek style) that therefore a blog entry ensued:

We are excited to host this month Matt Ingenthron, from Couchbase at our monthly ColdFusion user group in Cal Poly Pomona this August 8th at 7pm.  Here is a brief description of what he will present on:

So if you are close to the area and want to come over, please do, we have FREE pizza, drinks and cool software raffles. I have been personally using Couchbase for a while now and absolutely love it.  We are even doing a blogging series about Couchbase over at the Ortus company blog as well.

We just published part II of our integrating Couchbase NoSQL with ColdFusion series which focuses on Couchbase replication, XDCR, failovers and an intro to secondary caches for Hibernate: Check it out:

We have just started a cool new blogging series over at our Ortus Solutions blog about how to leverage Couchbase NoSQL Server in your ColdFusion applications.  If you are thinking or already implementing NoSQL databases in your infrastructure, these series are for you. Check it out:
