My friend did record my presentation but unfortunately it is in different formats and in 3 parts in order for it to have fit in our memory card. I am reviewing it and I am going to attempt to paste all together into one clip and I will post if successful.
Again thank you everyone! This might be a new thing for me and hopefully I will be given the opportunity to present again.

ColdFusion 11 and IIS 8+ Woes
I created the following bug in Adobe's bug base and today an engineer called me and confirmed the issue from the details I emailed. The issue is basically as follows.
The first request to ColdFusion after any of the following events cause a delay of 12+ seconds, after that everything works great. The events that cause this issue are as follows:
- Restart ColdFusion
- Recycle an App Pool in IIS
- Restart IIS from GUI or Command iisreset
- Edit a Web.Config file (recycle the App Pool)
- Windows 8.1 w/ IIS 8.5
- Server 2012 w/ IIS 8
- Server 2012 R2 w/ IIS 8.5

ORM Event Handling and ColdFusion 11
If you are banging your head against the wall because your new install of ColdFusion 11 is crashing your app and you are using ORM Event Handling all you need to do is update your CFC with 2 new functions introduced in 11. These functions are as follows:
public void function preFlush(any entities){};
public void function postFlush(any entities){};
Thank you CF Engineers for making this such a fun Monday. That is sarcasm in case you guys do not understand it.

New Screenshot Discovery on my Mac today
So anyone who knows me knows that I love Macs and recommend them highly to any new or old PC user. One thing I love is how easy it is to take screenshots. There are 4 keyboard shortcuts which I use all the time and they are as follows:
- Command-Shift-3
- Capture the screen to a file
- Command-Shift-Control-3
- Capture the screen to the Clipboard
- Command-Shift-4
- Capture a selection to a file
- Command-Shift-Control-4
- Capture a selection to the Clipboard
The ones I used the most is the Shift+4 options as I have dual screen and sometimes just need to capture a certain area. When I want to email the screenshot, I use the first option as it creates a PNG for me on the desktop (which is what I have it set to do) or if I want to manipulate in any image editor I use the second value to simply save to my clipboard and then paste it right into the application (saves me from having to open the file and dragging into the document I am working on). OK, so for the discovery when I did Command-Shift-Control-4, my thumb hit the spacebar shortly after by mistake and what appeared now was a camera icon and anytime I was over any window it would highlight the window, which pretty much led me to safely assume that if I click to accept that is what I would get a screenshot of. So I did and that is exactly what happened. I think it is great because now it saved me from even having to set the selection area, if what I originally wanted was a screenshot of the application window.
You can manipulate what you want your screenshots to be saved as using terminal commands or with utilities like Cocktail from Maintain which I recommend purchasing. Any

ColdFusion Developers on Mavericks .. you can quit crying now.
This update introduces support for OS X 10.9 Mavericks. It fixes the web server connector issue on OS X 10.9 reported on bug #3653076. Which itself had a solution by another very smart developer but the bug itself was filled with whiny developers that didn't care to read the comments and find a solution themselves. Instead it was filled with people complaining that they were now not able to work, which I found quite silly. Oh well, my days here are limited as this is the year I am committing to make the full switch and I got RoR and iOS Development on my radar.
You can refer to this technote.
And if you want to entertain yourself with whiny comments check out the bug.
