Another nice find (this one shared by Phil Costa, ColdFusion Product manager). mySPIKE (at http://myspike.wharton.upenn.edu/) is the Wharton School of Business portal site powered by ColdFusion MX (running on Windows). The application is classic portal; lots of customizable windows in tabbed...
I've recently received several email questions about using Access with ColdFusion MX on Windows 98 or ME. The ColdFusion MX Administrator does not list Microsoft Access as an available driver type when ColdFusion is running on Windows 98 or ME. But, if you do need to work with Access, don't...
Hello from Japan! I arrived in Tokyo a few hours ago and am now back online. I had forgotten just how far Narita airport is from Tokyo, sitting on a bus for close to 2 hours after a l-o-n-g flight is no fun. I vote for airport relocation!
I love bumping into .cfm extensions on sites that I had no idea were using ColdFusion. My latest find is NEC-Mitsubishi (at http://www.necmitsubishi.com/). I was reviewing monitor specs (for a new LCD monitor) and discovered that almost the entire site is ColdFusion; product specs, company info,...

My "Windows 2000 Developer's Guide" (IDG 0764546538) was translated into Chinese, and I have started receiving regular requests from Chinese readers asking for the book page URL. I have not seen a copy yet to know what URL is in it or why the listed one apparently is not working, but for those...
