Latest version of Firefox, 1.0.1, has been released.

For all the changes have a look at this unofficial changelog.

If you’re got an Xbox, live in Europe and got it before October 2003 I suggest you go take a look at this BBC NEWS article. Good ‘ol M$

Sean Corfield posted this which is very interesting, it’s a CF5 v 6 v 7 feature comparision. Quite handy I think.

Macromedia – ColdFusion MX 7 : Feature Comparison Matrix

PS. This is asking for a dance remix!

I need say no more, read the article over on Ananova

From the site:

“This blog is not about those machines used to change mechanical energy into electrical energy. It’s about software that creates software. Software to play around and have fun with.”

If you’ve found a “generator” on the net, this blog probably has a link to it.

Some notable one’s are the Transparent PNG generator and the Color Palette Generator.

Following my previous post MM haven’t shipped the MySQL J 4 driver with CF7 as it’s not entirely stable and there seems too be some licensing issues. NewAtlanta have also not shipped this driver with Bluedragon.

If you need to install it with CF7 you can do, there is both a technote and a post over on Steven Erat’s blog.

Installed CF7 last night along side my existing CF6.1 install. Choose the server install and the built-in server, which, worked out 8500 was in use and used 8501 (changable I know but still nice). Install went fine and when finished it even had created the URL in the installer correctly to reflect the port I’d choosen which 6.1 never did.

Couple of notes thought, firstly if you’re running Norton A/V, turn it off, leaving it on will cause a 20 minute delay in the installer actually doing anything as it scans everything that’s extracted. Second the MySQL driver in the admin is showing as “MySQL (3.x)”, bit confusing as you could think this is only a driver for 3.x DB, which, I don’t, well hope, it isn’t.

All in all some nice new features and overall a very good product. Until I’ve played some more I can’t really say what I do and don’t like. Once again couple of wishes still, CFIMAP would be nice to see included and also an Email event gateway. That could be written but I’m not Java’ery (yeah, I know great english) to create one. If anybody does though let me know!

Can’t get your head around MVC (Model View Controller)? You need to check out this new way to learn MVC with a little sing-song.

No, I’m not joking!

If you’re using CFMX7 with either Homesite or CFStudio you’re going to want the VTM’s / tag updates. Go have a look at Forta’s blog for a link to the downloads page.

You can get the DWMX extension update on that page as well.
