ColdFusion MX 7 and Apache 2.2.x

by kai on 12/12/2006

Usually I'm pretty lazy with running my CF dev installation. I just use CF's internal HTTP server on port 8300 (as I run the multiserver setup) and put my apps in subfolders of the webroot. I just install a proper HTTP server if really necessary and not to be avoided ;) For some particular setup I've wanted to run on my dev machine, I had to do exactly this. I haven't setup a HTTP server on that…

If you work with lawyers who have no idea of the web...

New Zealand has a new online micropayment system - Pago. Currently Pago is some sort the target of a lot of interesting discussions down here. Disclaimer: Please note that I have not been to the Pago website myself. I got all the information from an anonymous colleague of mine who has been to their website apparently. Additionally a lot of that was mentioned on the NZ 2.0 google group and this…

Akismet: stop comment spam 101

by kai on 01/12/2006

I've implemented akismet for Blog in Black the other day, after reading about it in Kay's blog. Akismet is really amazing - it's basically a wordpress plugin (implemented as some sort of HTTP-based service), which talks to a huge spamfilter hosted somewhere. The akismet plugin posts all the comment information to this service and gets a spam or nospam result back. Then it's up to you as a user…

MAX 2006 Korea - new products...

by kai on 16/11/2006

The exhibition area of the MAX 2006 Korea was obviously way smaller than the exhibition area of MAX USA. But still - I've seen a few very interesting products for Flex 2 and nice mobile stuff. Too bad that CDMA is so strong in Korea, I would have loved to get myself a new phone over there. I'll talk about the new Flex stuff tomorrow or so - have to get some sleep now, bloody time difference!

MAX 2006 Korea - photos in Flickr and videos...?

by kai on 16/11/2006

I've put some of my photos from MAX 2006 Korea in my Flickr account. As this is just a basic and free account (shame on me, but never got round to use it a lot - anyone wants to upgrade my account to pro for a year?...I'd really appreciate it :-) ), the quality is rather low (appr.640x480 or so). Have fun having a look at them and leave a comment. If anyone would like to have the large version of…

MAX 2006 Korea - back home

by kai on 16/11/2006

The wireless speed was pretty screwed yesterday afternoon during Robin's session, so I've ended up having some entries multiple time. I'm back home now - Robin and I made it to Incheon airport in time (well, at least I've boarded my flight in time and I suppose that Robin managed to do the same after dropping my off at gate 23 ;) To summarize my impressions of the last 3-4 days being over in…

MAX 2006 Korea Day 2

by kai on 15/11/2006

My first session today was about Flex and Ajax, a topic which I roughly know about, but my experience with the combination of both was pretty much up at the surface. It's interesting what one could achieve with the combination, I'll have to look into that in the future! The other session I was attending today (right now) is Robin's talk about architectures for Flex applications. His talk also…

MAX 2006 Korea Day 1

by kai on 15/11/2006

Wow, wow, wow. Did I say WOW? Heading over to the conference area in the hotel was a really amazing experience. I've expected about 300-500 people attending the conference, given that it was "just" MAX Korea - but it turned out that the Korean Adobe team managed to get nearly 1100 paying attendees. That's incredible, absolutely awesome! I have no idea how many people registered for MAX in Las…

MAX 2006 Korea Day 0

by kai on 15/11/2006

I've lacked a bit of being up-to-date with reporting from MAX 2006 in Korea. So - at least now some report... I've arrived Sunday late night. The bus trip from Incheon Airport into the southern part of the city took ages - Incheon is pretty much in the middle of nowhere as there was litereally no way of building this huge airport closer to the city. My Monday (Day 0) was full on with wandering…
