20 Nov 08:55 I’m curious to find out the type of applications that people are building with ColdFusion – what do I mean by that? 1. Are you building ‘applications’ or are you building ‘websites’? I know there’s a fine line as to what makes a website an application – but I think most people would know what [... 20 Nov 06:11 Apparently ooghle is "Out of Home Google". So there I was driving home from work tonight and saw a poster (billboard) at the side of the road. It was an entirely green poster and across it’s diagonal was a graphic of a browser search box (you know the thing top right of your browser window) with [... 11 Nov 23:14 With all the buzz surrounding ‘cloud’ computing and most people not really having any clue what ‘cloud’ really means Aptana seem to have slipped a product out under the dark of night that really does deserve a look and really does offer ‘cloud’ computing. The trend of moving from expensive, under utilised dedicated servers to highly [... 11 Nov 00:29 So just a quick post for now, but last week I was clicking around Aptana – which i’d encourage everyone to take a look at. Anyhow, I kept seeing these ‘Deploy to Cloud’ links so I figured I’d click one. Anyhow, cutting a long story short I’ve now deployed my (WordPress) blog to the Aptana Cloud, [... 5 Nov 19:37 I was listening to a recent episode of Security Now where the guys were talking about Click Jacking. It’s a relatively new threat to emerge, plus since it’s browser based it’s completely OS/Browser independent – in fact it even goes as far as affecting Flash (although the latest update has blocked the threat from occurring). It’s [... 29 Oct 05:05 So last week it was announced that the BBC would be launching an Adobe AIR version of it’s highly successful iPlayer – but at the 2nd day keynote of Microsoft’s PDC it would seem that a new version built on Silverlight could has been prototyped by MS Technology Centre – could that be replacing the [... 28 Oct 00:08 Until Thursday of last week I’ve never had any success getting a *Nix based system up and running on Amazon EC2 – but since the release of Windows based machines I’ve been much more successful. Just in case you’ve not played with it yet, it’s super simple and what’s better is you don’t even have to [... 24 Oct 20:24 Still labelled as ‘beta’ Microsoft Windows 2003 has made its debut on Amazon EC2 with prices ranging from $0.125 per hour up to $1.2 per hour for a plain Windows environment whilst Windows plus SQL servers ranges from $1.1 per hour up to $2.4 per hour. More importantly Amazon EC2 has removed its beta label (for [... 23 Oct 21:57 One of the really useful tools I use is Jungle Disk. It acts as a proxy to my Amazon S3 storage and maps a network drive so I can access my storage pretty darn easy. The latest version of it’s JungleDisk Desktop is a great app and well worth checking out if you make use [... 22 Oct 21:01 After a long summer hiatus the UKCFUG is back with a new website and a new look – and more importantly a meeting scheduled on 6th November at 7pm at the Design UK offices. More details are available at http://www.ukcfug.org – Mango powered too! The guys are putting some serious effort behind the CFUG this year [... |
