CFEclipse
I've been using CFEclipse for a while now and for CF code I have been noticing some of the helper errors are not quite accurate. I guess I just don't like seeing errors/warnings in the Problems tab. Turns out this is really easy to fix here is my example.
I keep getting report is a required attribute warning where its only required for crystal reports ( I'm using ColdFusion reports ).
To fix this goto installpath\plugins\org.cfeclipse.cfml_1.3.1.6\dictionary open the CF8.xml find the node for cfreport and change. Close and reopen Flexbuilder/Exclipse.
No more errors. :)
Coldfusion Forums
I don't mind browsing an online forum now and then and I really like to have a place I can go to ask questions. Mailing lists are great but often I tend to skip over alot of emails. So I did some searching and found the following Coldfusion forums.

Subeclipse in Flexbuilder
I wanted to intergrate SVN into Flexbuilder. As flexbuilder doesn't include all the java plugins installing SubEclipse took 1 or 2 extra steps. I found this blog post which worked for me without issue:

It's working great. Now to find a MS SQL explorer plugin so I don't need Enterprise manager open as well.
Adobe Air Camp
I recently attended Adobe's Air Camp ( Melbourne Australia ). There was quite a large turn out and a surprising amount of interest. I spoke with a few people and, as noted by Adobe, one of the key points is due to Adobes push for cross platform frameworks.
I'd say 70% of laptops I saw there were Macs and 100% of the Adobe staff were on Macs. I sat with a few guys who basically said if this didnt run on Linux then they wouldn't have been there that day. I think this is a good thing for Adobe. I have personally been using Flexbuilder in OSX, Windows and I played with it in Linux all with great success.
One of the nice things Adobe is doing is working hard to integrate its products and although I don't use CS3, others at work do and now they can design UI in Flash and Fireworks then pass that onto a developer to implement the logic.
The presenters and their blogs were:

Coldfusion XML Unformat
I found this function very usefull just recently so I though I'd share.
Description
This is a simple UDF which does the exact opposite of CFMX's XmlFormat() function. Specifically, it replaces the following five characters in XML-escaped data with their normal equivalents: > with > < with < ' with ' " with " & with &

Macbook and Wifi
Well after wiping Leopard and rolling back to Tiger I was really disappointed as I had the same wifi dropping issue. This time I knew it wasn't specific to Leopard so I began to investigate options to fix this permanently. After much trial and error I came across this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1017323&start=50&tstart=0 which while I had to cross my fingers and hope for the best on reboot worked!
So now I have my environment set back up and a reliable wifi connection. I guess I will try Leopard again when 10.5.3 is released. BTW this is not affecting everyone but it seams it's specific to the router/access point you are using as Apple Airport AP's seam to have no issue.
