CFML Radio
Canada is home to CFML Radio, broadcasting on 107.9 FM in Burnaby, British Columbia. This caught my attention when forwarded to me, but alas, it has nothing to do with ColdFusion. Site is at http://www.radiocfml.com/.

ColdFusion Eclipse Plug-In
This one is apparently not that new, but it was just brought to my attention, and I thought it worth sharing in case others had not run into it yet. Rohan Clan has created a basic ColdFusion Eclipse plug-in for use with Eclipse 2.1 and 3 (and apparently tested on Windows, Mac, and Linux running JRE...

Flex Presentation Was a Hit
I just arrived back in the US, and am now online for the first time in over a day (staring in horror at my rapidly enlarging inbox).

GPRS Saves The Day
I am on the road again, somewhere between Edinburgh and London. I have no network connection (wired or wireless), and it looks like my modem is dead (this is the first time I have tried the modem since my laptop was repaired, I should have tested it before I left). So how am I posting this? Via a...

The Skeptic's Dictionary
This is an oldie, but a goodie (I am blogging it partially so that I don't forget the URL again). http://www.skepdic.com/ is "A Collection of Strange Beliefs, Amusing Deceptions, and Dangerous Delusions", over 400 articles in all. I don't necessarily agree with all of Robert Carroll's positions,...

Installing Flex with ColdFusion
Earlier this week I blogged an example of Flex embedded in ColdFusion. This is a powerful and intuitive way to leverage Flex, but the installation and setup do require some know-how and manual tweaking. So, having gone through the process, and knowing that many of you will want to do the same, I...

NASA JPL Powered by ColdFusion
NASA JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena) is one of the most popular Web destinations right now. The next time you visit http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/ pay close attention to the URLs, lots of them have a .cfm extension. JPL has been using ColdFusion for a...
