Matt Gifford created the “Lipsum Generator” for ColdFusion Builder based on the CFC Lipsum written by Tim Blair. Both products are posted on RiaForge.org. As himself said, “you have to love the CF community and sharing code”.
Here is the link to his article.
The ColdFusion library to communicate with the Twitter API was written by a friend from Brazil, Pedro Claudio, and it is available at RiaForge.
Library that enables integration of ColdFusion with the Twitter API.
Usage:
<cfscript> twitter = createObject('component','Twitter').init('username','password'); /* sent message */ xmlString = twitter.updateStatus('Message for your friend','FriendID','xml'); xmlString = twitter.updateStatus('Message','','xml'); </cfscript>

Congratulations Ben Nadel for your experiences on undocumented features of ColdFusion !
I liked the idea of playing with hidden features.
I’m wrinting this re-post just to remind me where I can get this information later.
getPageContext().getFusionContext().hiddenScope
Here is the link to the full article on Ben’s blog.
In my work environment we have ColdFusion 7 and I like to write my templates in cfscript, but since CF7 does not support some new scripting functions in CF8, I wrote a component to mimic those functions and allow me to stay focused on the scripting.
Well, it is not my original idea, I saw it from other blogs, but I added some value to it with some additional functions.

Nowadays we have ways of sorting the display results from a query without resubmitting the page by using Ajax. Long time ago I wrote a custom tag with the help of my coworker Jason Sheppard to do the same by submitting the page with the new sort field information.
So, for those who do not want Ajax or do not know how to do it, I converted my custom tag into a component and I’m making it available here. Feel free to implement more features, just don’t forget to send me a copy.
