Online mind mapping

Mind maps are nowadays a somewhat established tool for your own or collective brainstorming and organising your thoughts. Diane was looking for an easy solution to draw a mind map and after "verbally abusing" Visio for a few minutes :-), she found MindMeister.com - really cool. It allows you to create mind maps online, to share them with other people and to even trigger Skype meetings from in there. Read more in her blog.

Another social network - sigh - need a third screen to always keep those types of apps/websites opened :)

Coldfusioncommunity.org is a bit different though because it's very tailored to people who actually work with CF. Have a look and give it a try, I'm obviously in there as well: http://www.coldfusioncommunity.org/profile/KaiKoenig

by kai on 15/11/2007

Disclaimer before I start: this is a general rant and not against particular people. It's just sad to see how people with a very limited CF knowledge actively can kill off the use of CF in an organisation. Really, really sad! In this particular…

CF 8 Hotfix 2

by kai on 15/11/2007

ColdFusion 8.0 cumulative hot fix 2 is available. It fixes a good amount of bugs, including the ones that were already fixed in CHF 1. As always - this is a new piece of software, so make sure you actually have to fix one of those issues in your apps if you want to install it immediately :) Otherwise give it a few days and see what other people are reporting - I too often come across people who…

Very nice - IBM Developerworks have published an article from Jim Priest on the CFEclipse ColdFusion plugin for Eclipse.

Besides an introduction tutorial on installation, Eclipse terminology and the CFEclipse views, the article also covers debugging with CF 8 in Eclipse as well as deployment using the FTP Synchronization of Aptana.

Excellent article Jim, and awesome to see that IBM gives CFEclipse some coverage!

Western Central Time in Australia?

I'm just working on a some sort of a timezone related piece of functionality and while doing some investigation towards all the timezones in OZ and NZ and the dates when they switch between DST and Standard Time, I came across a very odd purple bubble called WCT = Western Central Time. Does anyone know WCT in OZ? Come on, that must be some sort of easter egg from the guys at…
