When using an external web server with Macromedia ColdFusion MX, it is possible to enable verbose web server connector logging. The information that is logged with this feature can be useful when troubleshooting issues with the web server connector. This logging is available for ColdFusion MX...
Last week went really well, and users thus far have loved what we've been showing them of Blackstone (and tonight I'll be adding content not seen thus far). Pictures from all four of last weeks events are online at http://www.forta.com/about/theroad.cfm (if you took pictures, and care to share...
An important new tech note at http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/class_files_loaded.htm explains how to JVM arguments to obtain a listing of all class files that are loaded in the JVM's memory space. This can be useful for debugging class loading conflicts and for analyzing...
It looks like my Summer 2004 User Group Tour will be extended by a week with stops in Europe. We're looking at the week of July 12th, with presentations in England, Germany, the Netherlands, and possibly one additional location. I'll post specifics as soon as they are finalized.
I just got home, a weekend to recuperate before starting week 2 of the tour. The Jacksonville CFUG presentation went really well. This is a brand new group, they have only met 3 or 4 times, and we had 55 attendees. This was also an incredibly interactive group, 90 minutes into the presentation I...

Last night's presentation to the Atlanta CFUG went very well. Attendance was less than expected, but the room was full, the crowd interactive, the questions and suggestions right on target, and I have only a mild hangover. In addition to locals (folks from all over Georgia), attendees made the trek...
The J.K. Rowling official site in online at http://www.jkrowling.com/. (For you muggles, J.K. is Harry Potter's mom, kind of). This site is chock full of secrets, and lots of folks are visiting it trying to find the portkeys to the hidden goodies. And when I say lots of folks I mean tens of...
I presented Blackstone and The Future of ColdFusion to the Louisville, KY, CFUG last night. The event was sponsored by CFXHosting, and graciously hosted by UPS. The presentation went well, all the demos worked, and the group was genuinely excited by what they saw. One non-CF user in the group said...
I am on the way from Toronto to Louisville. Last night was the 1st stop on my Summer 2004 User Group Tour. About 80 attendees upstairs of a bar named Rhino, looking at a presentation projected onto a textured reddish brown wall (it actually worked better than I expected). Turnout was a bit lower...
