I finally got around to updating the "On The Road" section of this site. Lots of new pics posted to http://www.forta.com/about/theroad.cfm.

One of the first reviews of Macromedia Flex, online at http://javaboutique.internet.com/reviews/macro_flex/.

This one was found by a ColdFusion user at Lockheed Martin who sent me a CFC that could not be invoked via SOAP, on every call it threw "Duplicate declaration of local variable t" errors. The problem? "t" is kind of reserved, the CFC to Java conversion code defines "t" as java.lang.Throwable. This is a bug, and has been filed as such, for now, just don't name CFC arguments "t".

Paul Colton was one of the creators of JRun (originally by Live Software, later acquired by Allaire, and now part of the Macromedia family of products). I'd lost touch with Paul since he left Allaire, but French online magazine dotnet-fr is running an interview with him. As per the interview (which you can read at http://www.dotnet-fr.org/sections.php3?op=viewarticle&artid=61), Paul's new company, XAMLON, is creating a XAML runtime library for .NET 1.1.
