This would be utterly hilarious if it were not so sad. Wired is running a story (http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,59907,00.html) about one of the many sites that uses spam to hawk products intended to enlarge male body parts. I personally get dozens of messages like this a day and I am...
ColdFusion MX 6.1 Enterprise supports multiple mail delivery threads, the number of desired threads is specified in the ColdFusion Administrator. This number is not a pre-allocated pool, rather, it is the maximum that ColdFusion may allocate if needed, and ColdFusion will not always allocate the...
Initial indications are that ColdFusion MX 6.1 is rock solid, and all feedback thus far has been very positive. There are, however, a few known issues (stuff that unfortunately did not make it into the final build). If you do run into any gotchas, check the "ColdFusion MX 6.1 Known Issues" list at...
ZDNet Australia is reporting that there is still a market for IT professionals. The story is at http://www.zdnet.com.au/newstech/enterprise/story/0,2000048640,20276849,00.htm The part I like is this: "Specific technology skills expected to be in demand during the next 12 months include wireless ......
ColdFusion MX 6.1 adds a few new tags to the CFML language, and makes changes to some existing tags. If you are using HomeSite+ or Dreamweaver MX you can download tag updates so that your IDE is aware of these language changes. The updates can be downloaded from...
in CFMX 6.1 has been dramatically enhanced. Changes include support for multiple mail delivery threads, SMTP server redundancy, SMTP logins, and more. I created a short Breeze presentation (under 10 minutes) to explain this new features and technologies. Feel free to view it (and listen to it) at...
Over the past few weeks I visited lots of user groups and presented a session on working with multiple ColdFusion instances. Some of you have asked for a copy of that presentation, and so I have tweaked it slightly (to bring it in line with ColdFusion MX 6.1 Enterprise) and published it as a Breeze...
It's official, ColdFusion MX 6.1 (the product formerly known as "Red Sky") has been released. Lots more details to follow. For now you can get more info (and the product) from http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/. Oh, and as a maintenance releases, ColdFusion MX 6.1 is free to licensed...
If you are developing CFXs using the Java CFXAPI this one will get on your nerves (it's bugging me big time, and based on Christian Cantrell's recent messages to me it is bugging him endlessly too). C/C++ CFX tags have a "Keep DLL Loaded" checkbox, but Java CFXs do not. Java CFXs are Java classes...
I've been finding myself doing more and more Java coding as of late (including rewriting several C/C++ CFX tags in Java). For the most part I have gotten used to the language (although I've found myself wanting to use C style preprocessor directives like #ifdef on more than one occasion). But the...
