I’ve been working on extending CF with a few Java utilities and came across a rather frustrating problem. Whenever I need to test a change in the CFX I have to restart the CF application server. Using ColdFusion MX 7, this process can take up to half a minute…..not the ideal development scenario.
So [...]

Dealing with dates can be a frustrating task when developing certain applications. After working with Web Services that return dates as long integers, I’ve had no problem handling them with Flash. Take the value 1109129227359 as an example. This is the number of milliseonds that have elapsed since midnight on 1/1/1970. [...]

If you’re interested in learning about M2M or following what’s going on in the space, check out MachineBlog. I just released the site this past week and am working with a few co-workers and associates to provide up-to-date information on the M2M industry. We’ll be looking at M2M from all different angles including:
1. [...]

Nokia and Macromedia have teamed up to provide Macromedia Flash content on Series 60 devices. I can’t explain how excited this makes me! I’ve had a good amount of experience developing applications for Series 60 written in Symbian C++. Let me be the first to say that this isn’t for the weak [...]

It’s late but I couldn’t resist blogging about ColdFusion MX 7, which was finally released two days ago. First off, ColdFusion has come a LONG way since the 4.0 days. That’s when I fell in love with the technology and never looked back. You see I work in a shop of hardcore [...]

The more I think about M2M I start to realize that there are so many examples of M2M in our daily lives without noticing them. Last night I was thinking about this application I developed 6 months ago and started realizing that it’s an M2M application.
The application is called BlueGPS and runs on Symbian [...]

I normally post about Flash and server-side technologies but I’d like to shift focus and talk about device programming a little bit. I actually need to take a bigger step back and mention an acronym that you’ve probably heard: M2M. If you haven’t heard it before I can guarantee you’ll hear about it [...]
