Setting Up a Mac for Coldfusion Development

Matt Woodward has an extensive PDF containing all needed to get your Mac (even Mac Book Pro with Intel chips) installed with all needed for Coldfusion web development and much more. I'd highly recommend checking it out if you have a Mac Book Pro or iMac!

Thanks for taking the time to do that, Matt, this is great and something I (and I'm sure other CF Devs) have been looking for. Great resource!

Touch Screen Technology : What if this was in a Mac?

Came across this technology today and it made me think:

...what if this tech was integrated into, for instance, a Mac? It's not that far fetched, Apple already implemented touch screens with the iPhone, why not with laptops, etc, for a new paradigm in user interfaces for larger screen displays? I personally believe it'd open up a number of possibilities in software to navigate like this via touch screen in addition to our traditional mouse navigation. I think the world is ready for a new navigation paradigm, and this seems one that is next in that evolution.

"In this video, Jeff Han and Phil Davidson demonstrate how a multi-touch driven computer screen will change the way we work and play."

Couldn't happen to a classier guy. The following is a great story by former Chicago Tribune writer, Bob Verdi:

Install Error using Coldfusion MX 7 on Sun Solaris 10 x86

Anyone out there tried to install Enterprise CFMX 7 on Sun Solaris 10? It is a supported OS for Coldfusion 7, but we are encountering errors.

We get to the point where we copy the file (coldfusion-70-sol.bin) from the installation cd to our server, then go to that directory, the start the installation.

It starts running fine, "Launching installer...", but then we receive a:

Solaris/resource/jre/bin/java: Invalid Argument


We attempted to run the version of the JRE on the cd, and we receive the following:

...
jre/bin/java: cannot execute


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
