CFUNITED 2005 day 1 has wrapped, and the consensus seems to be that this year's event has surpassed previous events (aside from the number of attendees, over 850) both in quality of content, as well as in general buzz and atmosphere. I did not attend any sessions today (and won't tomorrow either, I...
CFUNITED started today here in Bethesda, MD. Tim Buntel and I presented the opening keynote (which has been blogged repeatedly in the past few hours). Key points were: ColdFusion MX 7 is doing incredibly well (in fact, over 50% of the attendees are already using version 7, that's phenomenal)....
Several of you commented on the t-shirt I was wearing around the CFUNITED hotel yesterday (the one seen here). Want one for yourself? You can get it (and other designs) from www.codefusiongear.com .
Matt Woodward has written an article on using accessing ColdFusion via instant messaging. His example uses Jabber and the ColdFusion Administration API, but the article is well worth reading for a general overview of how you can provide IM access to your own ColdFusion applications.
I just arrived in D.C. and will be here all week. First stop is a presentation to a State Department user group in Rosslyn, and I have several more government meetings over the next few days. And then comes CFUNITED, which is the primary reason that I am here this week (along with lots of the...

First Mike Nimer and his cfform.com , and now Prayank Swaroop creates Looking for help with CFCHART? , a blog dedicated to ColdFusion's tag. What better way to get the inside scoop than from the engineers who build the features!
Check out this Alexa Traffic Details report on ColdFusion powered Myspace.com . Growth from under 500,000,000 daily pages views in early 2004 to over 5,000,000,000 daily page views in mid 2005. I'd call that scalable.
I spoke to the UKCFUG in London this evening. Al Manning was up first, he discussed a ColdFusion/Flex application, and using ColdFusion as a Flex backend. And then I introduced ColdFusion MX 7 event gateways; what they are, why they are needed, their architecture and internals, gateway classes and...
I'm in tiny Luxembourg airport awaiting my flight to London. I flew in this morning to spend the afternoon with ColdFusion users at the European Commission. The EC was an early ColdFusion customer from back in the Allaire days, and remains one of the largest ColdFusion shops in the world. One group...
