Today was kind of a bad day. For some reason all of my projects all seemed to be in "pause" mode so my earnings took a dip. But having down time meant I could finally get around to packing up some code and releasing up on RIAForge. In no particular order, here is what is new:
- SpoolMail: Sam Farmer wrote an update to SpoolMail to help it understand multi-part emails better. For folks who may not know - SpoolMail is a ColdFusion Administrator extension that allows you to read emails generated by ColdFusion. This is useful when working on a development server that doesn't have a connection to a real mail server.
- Share CFC: This is the wrapper I built for the Adobe Share service. No docs or included, and the Move operation is still a bit wonky, but I think it's ready for prime time, and real use, so check it out and let me know what you think.
- Seeker: And finally - Seeker. I've been playing around with a ColdFusion based interface to Lucene for a month or so now. Today I wrapped up support for dynamic indexes. By that I mean you can pass in a query and my code will index it. I still think the code is rather... rough... and like Share, no docs are included, but query support was the last major feature for a proper "version 0" type release. I love Verity - but now that I'm on a Mac and can't run it - I really want to get this project moving forward. So please download it and let me know. (Just be gentle.) 10 points to the first person who correctly identifies the meaning of "seeker" as a name.

The dude that flies around on a broom seeking the golden snitch.
The "Seeker" was a colony ship manned by a faction known as the "Margolians" who were fleeing an oppressive society in hopes of establishing a free world.
Scott wins... but TJ gets an award for the freaky answer.
Actually - you are all wrong... it's The Who!!!
I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables
They call me The Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
Ray,
Thanks again for great tools. I had thought I was familiar with most of your projects, but I seem to have missed SpoolMail, which, as you say, is terrific for use on a development server where you can't actually send the mail. This is a constant issue for me, when a project requires some sort of notification service, but digging through the Undelivered folder is a pain. Thanks very much.
I'll note, for others, that the current udf.cfm in SpoolMail is written as CF8 only, since it uses a couple of operators that could not be used outside of CFSCRIPT until CF8. But for a CF 7 version, it's only necessary to make simple changes in lines 161 and 169.

Ouch - thanks Tom. I'll fix that. I'm sending the Dementors after Sam now. ;)
I'll definitely be playing with the Lucene stuff in the coming days. Ray, you're a life saver!
My bad. For some reason I thought this was for CF8 ;)
