CFTHREAD vs Event Gateways

Interesting... I was reading on a BlueDragon blog about CFTHREAD.
It allows you to get your CF script to spawn a new separate thread that runs separate from the thread your script is already on. It can wait for the other thread to finish (using CFJOIN), or can just go about it's merry way (asynchronous).

This blog post talks about how it is an effective way to emulate event handlers

Sample discussion and pseudo code.


It turns out that Adobe/Macr has also been working on it:

I'm quite excited about this idea, especially since I've been a little slow to jump onto the Event Gateway bandwagon. This seems like a great way to accomplish event gateways (or similar) and more by simply coding in CF.

Google updates office programs - Google Docs and Spreadsheets

Logged into my Google Spreadsheets today and I was presented with docs.google.com, a rebranded front end for spreadsheets and word documents. It looks great, and I love the integration.

They took the My Active Documents look of Writely, and added my spreadsheets, calling it 'Browse Docs and Spreadsheets'. The look is clean and very blue, like most Google stuff.

I should have guessed they were going to do something like this. When I logged into Writely yesterday they had a big warning about a big upgrade yesterday evening.

Thanks Google!

Just saw the Google Blog post about the integrated docs and spreadsheets.
