Ok some of my more favorite questions:

1) If you won the lottery what would you do?

2) Name your favorite (interview appropriate) website? Follow-up: what would
you do to improve it? (this one you can take in any direction, CF related,
CSS related, where you want).

3) If you were taking over a project and had to decide between in line (in
code) documentation or well written specs and UML diagrams of the system
which would you prefer, why?

4) What does cfapplication do? What does cffeed do? What does cfjms do? What
does cfcache do?

5) How do you deal with the whitespace CFML generates?

6) 3 technical books you have read or have a desire to read.

7) Favorite resource for looking up solutions, search engine and wiki's are
not valid answers.

8) What is the difference between an Application Server an Web Server? What
is a context root? (This may or may not make a lick of difference to most
folks but its important to understand the difference at our shop)

9) What is your ideal workspace (physical surrounds and computer setup)?

10) What are Race Conditions, Deadlocking, and link lists?

Those alone get me enough information generally.

Other general information I collect:
Experience with Java, Python, PERL, C family
Experience with CustomTags, CFCs, Java integration
Thoughts on/familiarity with various frameworks, and I usually throw in a
few less popular ones like Tartan or OnTap

Ok so now I have given away what I interview on so I expect all applicants
at Kroger to do much better now ;)
