Welcome to my new gadgets and geekery weblog. Now a distinct area within my larger Sorcerer's Isle weblog, 100% Geek covers gadgets, gaming, technology, tinkering, and any other random ramblings I feel like throwing in here.
The cfRegex project is two things. Firstly, it is a complete regex implementation for CFML, providing more functionality, flexibility, features and power than the existing CFML RE functions. Secondly, it is a drive to encourage people to properly learn and make use of regex.

It's nearly a year on from my last Railo blog post so it is well overdue that I write another - just in case there is anyone still sitting on the fence, unsure if they should use Railo - or indeed, anyone who might be unaware of Railo's very existance!
So to start with, a quick summary of what Railo is:
Find out why Railo is the perfect choice for your next development project.
Earlier today, the eagely awaited Railo 3.1 public beta was announced!
And the reason for much of this eagerness?
Railo is now Open Source and Free Software, released under the LGPL v2.
This license requires that any changes to Railo's sourcecode itself must also be released under LGPL v2 (or later version).
However, unlike the full GPL, it does not require that you release any packaged applications under a compatible license - so you can still use whatever license you like for your own CFML code, Open Source or otherwise.
Along with the announcement comes two new Railo websites: The commercial-oriented getrailo.com and the community-oriented getrailo.org, which also contains wiki-based documentation.
Details on updating this documentation, as well as information about the new features in Railo 3.1, will come later this week - stay tuned to the Railo blog for the latest details.
The next four months are going to be a very exciting time for Railo and CFML!
