I just wrapped my third presentation in Missouri in 25 hours. Last night was the Kansas City user group, with over 90 attendees (they've now taken the lead on this tour, which group will challenge them?). This was the most engaged and interactive group yet. I didn't have to prompt for questions...
Last night's presentation to the ColdFusion user group in East Lansing, Michigan, went really well. About 45 attendees (some of whom drove for several hours to join the fun), and the most interactive and engaged crowd yet. The group introduced themselves one by one, and announced how long they had...
When using an external web server with Macromedia ColdFusion MX, it is possible to enable verbose web server connector logging. The information that is logged with this feature can be useful when troubleshooting issues with the web server connector. This logging is available for ColdFusion MX...
Last week went really well, and users thus far have loved what we've been showing them of Blackstone (and tonight I'll be adding content not seen thus far). Pictures from all four of last weeks events are online at http://www.forta.com/about/theroad.cfm (if you took pictures, and care to share...

It looks like my Summer 2004 User Group Tour will be extended by a week with stops in Europe. We're looking at the week of July 12th, with presentations in England, Germany, the Netherlands, and possibly one additional location. I'll post specifics as soon as they are finalized.
I just got home, a weekend to recuperate before starting week 2 of the tour. The Jacksonville CFUG presentation went really well. This is a brand new group, they have only met 3 or 4 times, and we had 55 attendees. This was also an incredibly interactive group, 90 minutes into the presentation I...
I just received an e-mail asking me to clarify a statement I had made about XML support in Blackstone, a statement that was apparently misconstrued in being repeated. No, I did not say that CFML would become an XML language that would need to validate as well-formed XML. That would not be a good...
Last night's presentation to the Atlanta CFUG went very well. Attendance was less than expected, but the room was full, the crowd interactive, the questions and suggestions right on target, and I have only a mild hangover. In addition to locals (folks from all over Georgia), attendees made the trek...
The J.K. Rowling official site in online at http://www.jkrowling.com/. (For you muggles, J.K. is Harry Potter's mom, kind of). This site is chock full of secrets, and lots of folks are visiting it trying to find the portkeys to the hidden goodies. And when I say lots of folks I mean tens of...
