First, at the Twin Cities CFUG talk, when I discuss caching in CF, I'll be able to show off some new Scorpio enhancements related to this. Don't ask me to say what they are now. I'm still working out details about which of a few features I can discuss. I've got the green light on some. Waiting on the others.

Second, at cf.Objective(), Jared and I will be leading a "birds of a feather" talk on "hidden gems in scorpio". We all know that with each new release, there are lots of "star" new features, but there are also often lots of "small supporting role" new features which are often as important to some as the big ones. We will pow-wow with the powers that be to confirm which ones will be ok to talk about as of that date. We hope to be able to share a few that will surprise some.

So there are two more reasons to get to Minneapolis next week. (I don't know if the Twin Cities CFUG meeting will be recorded, but if not, I plan to make a recording of it on my own eventually, or offer it on the Meetup soon.)

As I first discussed a couple weeks ago, I'm set to speak at the cf.Objective conference on the topic of 'Understanding, Improving and Resolving Issues with Database Procedure Caches, or "What really happens when we use/don't use cfqueryparam?"'. This the first time I'll present the talk, and indeed it's the first time I've seen a talk on this topic offered, at least to the depth I plan to cover, about what really goes on inside the database with this feature.

And while I'm there, Troy Pullis at the Twin Cities CFUG has invited me to return to speak at their user group meeting, which happens to be the night before the conference. I've spoken there a few times in the past and always enjoy that group. I'll be presenting my '"Caching In" on CF Performance' talk, which I've presented previously at the Atlanta CFUG and WebDU.
