Ok It's out, there will be millions of posts, the 25% increase in price has me pissed off.
It's a good product so if your on standard you aint going to loose, but there is no reduction either.
If you are on Enterprise, i'd suggest boycotting the price hike and purcasing standard, the feature set is not worth the price difference.

Outlook 2007 RSS Duplicates
Duplicate RSS Items in Outlook 2007 are driving me nuts.
Im using two clients, a laptop at home and a laptop at work both going back to an exchange server. Outlook doesn't seem to be clever enough to know that it already has RSS items before getting them again, this results in me getting almost every RSS item more than once.
I've read lots of discussions around this, but can't find a solution, I'm prety sure there must be one, or one coming as a lot of people are talking about it. But Microsoft were talking about it a year ago, so what's the deal.
I'm hoping someone might read this and point me to the solution or someome might fix the problem, it's driving me nuts and Outlook is the perfect vehicle for me to read RSS I really don't want to use another reader

Adobe Does ColdFusion Justice
When Adobe took over Macromedia, I was a happy camper, when pitching ColdFusion solutions, people who haven't heard of it, say who make ColdFusion, now I could say Adobe.
And everyone as heard of Adobe, so they say nice and everyone is happy.
But in the back of my mind, when every new take over I'm thinking I hope they don't stuff it up, hope they improve it, push it and ultimately sell it.
Now many months later, I think that Adobe have done a really good job, first the ColdFusion 8 Beta product is excellent, it has been prominently featured on Labs, it is in the Labs Most Popular section, it was also featured smack in the middle of the Adobe home page for a while, and still is shown there as text under the Labs section of the home page.
The beta program has been very active, the CF team has been very responsive and quick to fix bugs and the marketing team has done a good job of communicating new features, speed improvements etc.
So now it's time for the sell bit, it's probably going to be released any day now, my guess is on or before 8/8/07. With that will come the most important bit of the puzzle to sell this great product, the release of pricing information.
Adobe have done this well for other products, managed to get me to upgrade from Studio 8 to CS3 because the pricing options were good, so I'm hope full that Adobe will get the pricing right also and knock every one's socks of in the process.

ColdFusion IS Object Oriented
After reading a Blog Entry of Ray Camden, in a general comment, he made this statement.
"CF is not OO. CF should NOT be OO. And lastly, I pray to God that CF never becomes OO."
I didn't agree, I actually think ColdFusion is OO, and thought that view especially from Ray was odd, then I thought, well perhaps I have it wrong, perhaps CF is not OO and i'm the only one who thinks it is. So I ran a Survey, posted to both cftalk and cfaussie.
The results are quite interesting.
1. Do you consider ColdFusion to be Object Oriented?
Yes: 66%
No: 34%
2. What percentage do you think ColdFusion achieves the ability to code OO style.
0-20%: 2%
20-40%: 4%
40-60%: 24%
60-80%: 44%
80-100%: 26%
3. Would you like the Adobe ColdFusion team to further develop ColdFusion OO features?
Yes: 58%
No: 42%
4. What is the number one feature missing from ColdFusion from an OO point of view?
None / Pass: 52%
Overloading: 16%
Constructors: 10%
Overriding: 4%
Interfaces: 4%
Multiple Inheritance: 2%
Serialization: 2%
Other: 10%
That last one was free text, so I combined a lot of dumb answers into None / Pass and lots of single votes into Other. I consider that CF already does Overriding, but I left it in the stats and CF8 does Interfaces but I left it in also.
But here is my summary of the survey
Of the people surveyed 66% of people think that ColdFusion is an Object Oriented language, 70% of people think that the OO features are between 60-100%, just over half 58% of people think more development needs to be done and the main two things missing are Overloading and Constructors.
So ColdFusion is Object Oriented after all, I have always thought so and am supported by the numbers, we here code our entire application in a OO way so to me it was a no brainer. You could read deeper that if Adobe just added Overloading and Constructors that the CF OO feel would be almost complete but then again 52% of people passed on what the main missing feature was.
I'll continue to collect stats

nuFramework 1.0.0. Released
This is a series of complex custom tags that interrelate.Each tag is nested in a subset of other tags to create sophisticated and advanced data managment forms. Each form can contain unlimited fields and tabs of related content.Some people would call this a CRUD, i'd say it kind of is, but this is very powerfull and can be used to maintain any set of data.
This framework was developed to develop an Accounting, Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution application which was developed and sold to Public companies.This framework is also used to manage content of some very large database driven websites.
