And I may revise the content as necessary.Like many others announcing today, I just got word that I have been selected again as what used to be called an "Adobe Community Expert", but today has been renamed the "Adobe Community Professionals" program.
Ah, well, as Shakespeare (kind of) said, "a rose by any other word smell just as sweet".
I'm just grateful to have been renewed in the program. I love doing all the things that were among the considerations for the selection, whether it's running the CFMeetup online weekly CFUG, my CF411 repository of over 1,000 tools and resources of interest to CFers, speaking at conferences, writing articles, writing in the CFWACK8 and 9 books, contributing to many mailing lists and forums, and more.
And I have still more resources yet to come. Besides the conference speaking (like I the first one I just announced earlier today) and new articles already in the works, I also have plans to create some entirely new resources focused especially on CF troubleshooting that I will announce in coming days/weeks.
We have a great CF community, and I offer my congrats to all my fellow new and renewed ACPs. I also offer my thanks to those who may not have been renewed (or chose not to renew) but have also contributed so much to the community.
Thanks also to Adobe for offering the program of recognition. Of course, we do it out of love for the Adobe products (in my case, CF), but the recognition and benefits are certainly appreciated. Here's to a great 2010!

And I may revise the content as necessary.Though I got the news a couple of weeks ago that my submission to cf.Objective() 2010 had been accepted, I only tweeted my delight about it and didn't blog it. Here's the description:
Regardless of what CFML server monitoring tool(s) you have, or even if none, did you know that you can use a feature called "stack traces" to be able to pinpoint the exact line of code that a CFML request is running at any time? Did you know how to use that information to troubleshoot performance/stability problems? Do you know how to obtain that information either manually or automatically (such as during a crash while you're not watching)? Do you know how to obtain that information in any of the CFML Server Monitors (FusionReactor, SeeFusion, the CF8/9 Enterprise Server Monitor), or with free command line tools? And how to do this for any CFML engine (CF, Railo, BlueDragon, etc.)? Do you know how to interpret the information once you get it?In this session, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will help remove the mystery from using stack traces. It really is amazingly simple with the right tools, and it can be incredibly useful to solve otherwise thorny problems, once you understand how to interpret the information.
Of course, I'm thrilled to be heading back to Minneapolis. I spoke there previously in 2008 and 2007 but couldn't attend in 2009. It'll be great to see all the fine folks who run and attend this unique conference.
BTW, I just saw also that CFUnited announced another round of topics accepted today and I see a topic whose title if very similar, "How to Read a Stack Trace", by the inimitable Daryl Banttari. It's hard to tell from his brief description how similar these will be, but Daryl is awesome so I'm sure I'll learn much from his. (I was literally just about to offer mine as another CFUnited submission but now won't of course. :-) Hopefully another of my submissions will be accepted, so I can keep my streak of having spoken at every CFUnited since they started.)
Anyway, the good news is that whichever conference you go to, this important (and often misunderstood) topic will be covered! :-)
