Anyone wondered why the iPhone doesnt have the flash player on it?  Something so simple, small and that has so many wide spread users?  It's simple... Apple doesnt want to have competing software on it's products.

PS: The first link talks about the Flash player being Proprietary... does this guy know about the openflash that was announced? I guess not...

I wanted to start playing with the new LiveCycle DS 2.6 functionality and I wanted to integrate 2.6 with Coldfusion 8. What I found on Adobe labs wasnt really clear enough to me on how to install 2.6 into CF 8.01, maybe it was just me but I like things explained throughly in terms of instructions. I found some good resources after googling last night and decided I would just combine what I found on my blog for others as a reference. So grab a beer, sit back and relax, because its really easy to do if you know "exactly" what to do.

Enjoy!

I offered to talk about my experience at WebManiacs for the guys at the Flex Show (Jeff & John).  I actually haven't had time to listen to the cast, but I hope it was useful.  It's my first time on a podcast, even though Jeff and John are very laid back I was a bit nervous ;)

WebManiacs overall was good, I had a couple small suggestions on the food and length of the conference, but overall the sessions that I attended were very informative.  You can listen to the cast for all the details.

I recall that I said I would upload my notes from the conference, unfortunately two things occured.  I procastinated a little bit and didnt get them up before I left for business travel and my notes are on my macbook which is at home. So I will have my notes from the conference uploaded by the weekend (if nothing crazy happens). I will update this post and include the file here, so stay tuned in a couple days.
