I've been tempted by Blackberry, but thus far have shied away from the device (I don't like the bulky form factor and was never impressed with the phone functionality and interface). But that might have changed. Blackberry has announced the 7100, a Blackberry that feels and looks more like a phone,...
This one totally changes the meaning of the word "bugs". Terminix, the pest control company, uses ColdFusion MX (and Fusebox) for their site at http://www.terminix.com/. Thanks to Alex Sherwood for bringing this one to my attention.
I mentioned this in Europe this week, and as others have blogged it I thought that I should mention it directly myself. My public facing sites (http://www.forta.com http://www.cffaq.com and others) are running on Blackstone, and have been since early alpha days. I did not mention this until now...
I just finished a full day of Blackstone related activities in Cologne, Germany. Once again, this was a very interactive and engaged crowd, they were even willing to delay their coffee and cake break so as to be able to see more demos! :-) The big winners, (which was greeted with the now regular "I...
I spent less than 10 hours in Italy yesterday. A quick flight in, a taxi to the venue, a presentation, and then back to the airport. The event was a combined usergroup and partner presentation, a format used during my previous Milan visits. The Italian CF community is not that big, but they are...

I just arrived in Milan, a little later than planned, and I am on my way to the event venue (posting this from inside of a taxi). I'll be discussing ColdFusion Blackstone and Flex with partners and users this afternoon, and then it's up to Cologne (via Frankfurt). Ciao!
The usergroup event this evening went really well. A standing room only crowd of 80 attendees packed into the venue, an old church that had been renovated into a high-tech office, and the response and feedback to Blackstone was phenomenal. What most impressed me was how tech-savvy and current the...
I am in Amsterdam, the only place in the world where I have seen multi-story parking lots for bicycles. It has been a while since I was here, and longer since I spoke to a usergroup here, so I am looking forward to tonight's event.
