This is weird. As I mentioned a few days ago, Google Talk made changes to their authentication requirements, and as a result the ColdFusion XMPP gateway could no longer connect to that service. And as expected, my CFDocs bot stayed online until yesterday and then lost its connection, and once that...
As blogged back in June, we announced at CFUNITED that the ColdFusion team would be working with and supporting the CFEclipse project. As noted in that keynote, RDS support is the most requested CFEclipse enhancement, and today Damon Cooper blogged that this feature is indeed in the works, one way...
This is last minute, but, I'll be in Minneapolis next week and will be talking to a lunch time session of the Twin Cities CFUG on September 12th. We'll talk about gateways, asynch processing, SMS, IM bots, and more. I hope to see you there!
I'll be in Houston next week for a meeting, and am going to stay overnight to get the chance to present to the Houston CFUG on September 13th. We'll talk about gateways, asynch processing, SMS, IM bots, and more. I hope to see you there!

Several of you have discovered that ColdFusion XMPP gateway Google Talk bots have stopped working (those that have logged out and tried to log in again). It seems that Google Talk began requiring SASL PLAIN auth, and this is not yet supported by our XMPP gateway implementation. We are working with...
KatrinaLost.org hosts an online database of Hurricane Katrina victims (both lost and found), and an extensive housing database for victims to find nearby shelter and accommodations. After Labor Day, KatrinaLost.org will unveil a comprehensive database of jobs for displaced workers. The ColdFusion...
As soon as I mentioned the Google Talk CF Docs bot someone wanted to know if he could get to it using Yahoo IM. Well, why not? Here's what I did: Installed Zion Software's JBuddy-CF on my server Registered a new Yahoo IM account Created a gateway .cfg file for Yahoo IM Defined a new gateway...
Last week I mentioned that Google Talk was XMPP based, and that you could therefore write a Google Talk IM bot using ColdFusion. Well, I've now done just that. If you are a Google Talk user you can use cfdocs@gmail.com to do instant CFML lookups (tags and functions for now). Just type in the...
