Google Maps
Comes default or can be installed / updated from the Android Market. Amazing turn-by-turn GPS navigation. ’nuff said.

Evernote
Create text, audio, or image-based notes and have them propagated automatically to your desktop or laptop. Great tool if you need to jot down a quick note and remember it for later.

Foursquare
Addictive social game, integrates with Twitter and Facebook. Become the mayor of your favorite burger joint! Some businesses in bigger cities are giving special discounts or other prizes to their Foursquare mayors.

Facebook for Android
The world’s most popular social network right on your phone.

Twitter
Everyone’s heard of Twitter by now. I’ve tried a few different clients, but none seem to match the simplicity and usability of the official client.

DoubleTwist Player
Probably the best media player app on the market, beats the hell out of the default. There’s also an iTunes look-alike application you can install on your Mac/PC to create playlists and convert your library.

Barcode Scanner
Handy tool for scanning QR codes containing contacts, download links, and more! You can also scan the barcode on the back of almost any commercial product, and be taken to the Amazon page for that item.

Drop7
Really, really addictive puzzle game. A combination of Tetris, Sudoku, and Connect 4.

PocketCloud
Currently in beta. Pocketcloud is a Remote Desktop (RDP) and VNC client. An indispensable tool if you administer Windows servers, or if you want to remotely connect to your desktop at home while you’re on the road.

Google Sky Map
Really awesome application for the budding astronomer. Point your phone to the sky and learn the names of the constellations and planets you’re looking at.

OpenSudoku
Best Sudoku game available for Android by far. It’s open source, which means if you run into a bug, you can actually fix it yourself!

Before this will work, you’ll need to download and install JRuby, and copy jruby.jar from the installation directory to your Coldfusion classpath. For me those directories were c:\program files (x86)\jruby-1.4.0\lib and c:\Coldfusion9\lib respectively.

Once that’s done, on to the fun!

First, I created a really simple custom tag called ruby.cfm as follows:

<cfscript>
ruby = createObject("java", "org.jruby.embed.ScriptingContainer");
if (thisTag.ExecutionMode is "end") {
  thisTag.GeneratedContent = ruby.runScriptlet(toString(thisTag.GeneratedContent));
}
</cfscript>

Then, I created my test page, test_ruby.cfm:

<cfset name = "Bob" />
<cfoutput>
  <cf_ruby>
    def myproc(str)
      "Hello ##{str}!"
    end
    myproc("#name#")
  </cf_ruby>
</cfoutput>

When you load up the test page in your browser, you should see:

Hello Bob!

WARNING: Running this code may cause a rip in the space-time continuum.

1. Make sure your SATA drives are plugged into the first available ports. SATA_0 on your motherboard should be your boot drive.
2. If you have an old-ass 3.5″ floppy drive, like I do, try disabling it in the BIOS (or completely unplug it from the system).

Following those two steps fixed the issue for me!
