After a full day of CFMX7 related events and meetings, I spoke to the Tokyo CFUG last night. Or rather, we all spoke. I presented a series of short demos, highlighting CFMX7 functionality that attendees might not have seen. And then we opened the floor to general Q&A. The Tokyo group breaks the...
I just arrived in Tokyo for several days of ColdFusion MX 7 launch activities. It took just over an hour to get from Narita airport instead of the usual two, a pleasant surprise. I need to crash for the night (or morning, or whatever it is). More to follow.
As previously mentioned , I'll be speaking to the UK CFUG in London on Feb 15th (along with Lucas Sherwood and Steve Allison). Event details have now been posted on the UKCFUK site, registration is required. I hope to see you there!

The front-end is...
I don't have details yet, but Macromedia U.K. is arranging a user group event in the U.K., and I'll use the opportunity to present Blackstone. Tentative date is February 15th. I have no more details beyond that, but I'll post them as soon as I do (as I will when other European venues are confirmed).
The Macromedia Q3 Report for Fiscal Year 2005 breeze presentation is online. ColdFusion customers will be pleased with slides 13 and 14, Rob points out a strong increase in subscription sales in anticipation of Blackstone. Oh, and he mentions that Blackstone is due to ship this quarter. In case you...
I attended a CFLunch today. What is a CFLunch? As mentioned in a prior post , a CFLunch is a regularly scheduled lunchtime get together for ColdFusion folks, less structured and formal than a CFUG, a good way to chat, with lunch included. Today's CFLunch in Chicago was attended by over 20...
I'll be at the Chicago CFUG tomorrow evening speaking about Flex and ColdFusion "Blackstone". Last time I spoke to this group there was a crazy weather system in the area and attendance suffered as a result (and I was stuck at O'Hare afterwards). There's rough weather coming through Chicago again,...
