Russ Johnson has just posted this very in depth guide that you have to check it out!!

I have been doing some maintenance, bug fixes, and small additions that deserve a small maintenance release. I have updated the trac site to reflect this and will soon post this new update.

A big thanks goes to Dr. Rob Gonda, for pointing out some very nice improvements!!

Thanks again to all who attended the presso. More good stuff coming sooon!!

If you downloaded the Dashboard and are having problems with the client variables error, then don't worry, its just the clientmanagement setting to true that throws it. I have attached an Application.cfc for you that you can use instead. The next release will include an uncompiled Application.cfc

Sorry for this...

I just finished today my first presso with CFframeworks on ColdBox and man what an ordeal. The Adobe Connect completely failed on my Mac and rendered it useless. So I had to scramble to export the keynote to powerpoint, copy some files to my PC and try to get something going. So I truly apologize for not sticking to the entire agenda, but technical problems ensued. The worst thing is that I did not have a mic for the PC, so I hijacked a pair of earphones and use that as a microphone, Electrical Engineering 101!!

So overall, at least I had something to show from the PC!! I though I never would have said this, but thank you PC for behaving!!

Hopefully the next one will work on my Mac and all the samples I had. Anyways, I will be posting some scaffolding templates and try to record it.

If anybody wants to donate iShowU I will create more recordings and post them up. Brief tutorials on several features. So please help out.

Anyways, here is the link for the "Incredible" Presso

Canon is truly awesome. I bought a Canon Elph SD 100 back in december of 2003 and it has been a truly great camera. This year for some reason the lens gave out and I was truly dissapointed. I was not looking forward to chuggin another $450 for a new camera, since this one did what I need it. So I decided to write to Canon to see if they had any kind of repairs for this type of camera. In a matter of 3 days I had a paid return shipment on my door. I placed the camera and off it went to those nice Canon factories. In two weeks, I received a package with my camera fixed, FREE OF CHARGE!! For being a loyal Canon customer. MAN!! Is this customer service or what. Well, if not I would not even be writing this entry. So there you go, I think Canon is awesome, I am a true loyal customer now.

I have just finished the keynote of the Adobe onAir bus tour. WOW!! AIR looks amazing, it just opens the possibilities to a whole new level. You can find the notes by clicking here.

In this presentation they covered more of the capabilities of AIR, how to use it and much more stuff. Mike, covered how to create an AIR package from a simple Flex Application with Flex Builder 3. Flex Builder 3 looks awesome and the ease of creating the applications is just outstanding. You can also download it from the Adobe Labs. The gears and turning... So beware...

Here is the link to the google doc notes.

The guys from Ebay also demoed their application San Dimas where you have a full integration to your desktop from ebay. WOW!! It was an excellent demo and the app just looks great. As soon as I get a link I will update this.

The download has been updated with the correct files. For some reason I had overwritten the download with the Railo archives. However, the zip file has been updated and now you can download the good stuff. The zip file also includes now a coldbox.ras file in the install folder which is the Railo Archive of the framework.
