by kai on 15/09/2004

The upcoming election day for the US presidential election on November, 2 is day 1 of MAX 2004 and it's nice to see that the Macromedia world is jumping on it step by step. I'm really excited to be in the US during the election and to feel all expectations and emotions of winners and losers directly. Don't get me wrong. Like others I also don't want to create a political discussion here, I also…

JRun 4 Updater 4

by kai on 15/09/2004

Marcomedia released updater 4 for JRun 4, which might affect all guys among you who are running CF and/or Flex on it.

Cricket cake

by kai on 14/09/2004

Not too long ago there was my birthday ;) I got a great cake from my wife inspired by the start of my "cricket career" earlier this year:

Ben on Blackstone: M's summary

by marcus on 08/09/2004

To sum it up: you really need that blackstone thingie. :-) Another important fact Ben mentioned was that basically, because of its modularity, CF Blackstone is "CF 6.1 with new features added". That might be important to all you guys who are currently planning to migrate to MX: if your app runs on 6.1, it will run on blackstone, because, as Ben said, the core tag's code stayed the same.
