Great eBook

by kai on 17/08/2004

Sorry that's probably for the German folks only... I'm a long time customer with readersplanet.de, a small online store for eBooks. I've got a subscription for Atlan books with them - which I read regularly on my iPAQ when I'm travelling. They have a great free crime story now. It's called "Mr. Dynamit - Das Vermächtnis des Hunnen" and worth reading. It's a crime story about some BND - the German…

CFCATCH and dynamic custom exception types

by kai on 16/08/2004

by kai on 16/08/2004

Christian Cantrell and Mike Chambers created Take-Away, a collection of mp3 audio files containing the latest Macromedia community news aggregated by MXNA. The nice feature is: I could try to convice the tax authority to accept my iPOD as a tax expense, because I use it for work now ;)

Core of the article was a table regarding web standards and to-become-standards, how mature they are and how they are used in IT projects now: technology usage TCP/IP, HTTP,…

End of June the Eclipse project released 3.0 final. This entry is about possible impacts on Macromedia-related plugins for Eclipse. The first look is on CFEclipse: The team release a 1.1.14 release some days ago which seems to be perfectly compatible to the 3.0 release of the workbench.

Back again with a broken finger...
