This week brought several good blog entries including discussions of the pros and cons of downgrading the JVM.

This week was the most difficult week for me so far. I decided early on to only pick five blog entries every week. I usually find at least 7 blog entries that I think every developer should read. This week, it was no less than a dozen (from more than 50 nominees).

This week saw a major discussion on the future of IE8 and compatibility and the launch of Inside RIA.
Scheduled Task Start Time
I have been using ColdFusion since the 20th century and I thought I understood how it worked pretty well by now. I am not sure how this one slipped by me.

This week saw one major news announce and two entries each from two of the community's more prolific bloggers.

I found several discussions on the same topic this week. So, this time I am grouping some blog entries by topic. The top link is what I would consider the main primary entry on the topic, followed by a few picks on that topic.
ColdFusion Blogs Picks of the Week
This is my first post in what I hope will be a ongoing series. In my discussion with other developers, I have often found that they miss blog posts that I think every ColdFusion programmer should see. The reason seems pretty clear: With so much blog traffic, it takes too much time to read through all of the traffic.
Global Custom Tag Attributes
While working on my custom tag set, I discovered that I often have attributes that will be the same across a whole site. These attributes need to change from site to site.
For example, I have a "skin" attribute to skin the output of my custom tags. Every tag in a site should use the same skin. If I copy some code from one site to another, it should automatically use the skin of the site to which it is copied.
Schedule Until...
This week I have been working on a task that will send out several email messages many more than I want to send to the mailserver at one time. I need some way to send them out in batches until they are all done. My solution led to something that will handle anything that needs to repeat across large time spans until complete.
AppLoader: Loading Application-Scoped Components
Early in my use of Application-scoped CFCs, I realized that I would have to have some mechanism to reload them when I changed the code.
