Obama’s Inauguration: Brought to you With ColdFusion and Flash

Nice. There is a very good roundup by Andrew Nusca on where to watch the Obama Inauguration next week online. I blogged about this earlier, but what I thought was interesting is that Andrew mentions the site for the folks that are “in charge of all the inaugural activities at the capitol” – the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies – and they have a .gov address, so they mean business. They’re offering closed captioning of the entire thing. How are they delivering it? Flash. And what’s that extension on their site? That’s right, it’s ColdFusion!

Using LiveCycle Data Services 2.6 Inside of ColdFusion 8

By default, ColdFusion 8 comes with LCDS 2.5. But there’s a lot of new, good stuff in LCDS 2.6 that might be good to take advantage of if you’re doing data services work in ColdFusion. There are some instructions on Labs, but I just tried them tonight, and I think they’re terrible. Luckily, Joshua Rodgers has a great step-by-step walkthrough for getting LCDS 2.6 up and running inside your ColdFusion 8 server.

I just wanted to make sure people saw Joshua’s instructions and didn’t waste time like I did decoding the official version.
