New anti-virus on the block

I was doing some research on the new trends for Antivirus, and found this new Antivirus Software called Vipre.

it basically has some pretty interesting feature, and also includes an embedded antispyware. it's got real time monitoring, and promises not to slow-down your PC (a feature most requested, as this is one of the main reasons why I left NOD32)

It also features a firewall (will be included in the next version), email scanning and live update.

They are offering a 15-day-trial for free, and the license for it is really cheap. I've downloaded the trial version already, and so far so good. I shall come back here with some more updates and a full review of the product as soon as I have more details.

SEO in Glagow

I've just been doing some research on SEO, and found some companies who specialize in "Search Engine Optimization" for websites. One of them is SEO Glasgow who basically work with all sorts of tools when it comes to website optimization.

They also have some services such as webdesign and development. They seem to have a very qualified staff who can spot what a website is doing wrong from every angle.

I haven't tried their services yet, but am very keen to do so as soon as I come up with a new website.

Got CFEclipse 1.3.4?

Yep, after my post from yesterday talking about Eclipse Galileo release, I'm here yet again to announce another release.

The CFEclipse team has just released it's version 1.3.4 with a ton of bugfixes and some improvements.

Just a few things that deserve to be highlighted (copied from the CFE developer's post on the mailing list):

• An updated CF8 Dictionary;
• Some mild updates to the parser; 
• Mark occurrences of selected words (tag/variable/method/etc); 
• Integration with Eclipse's DocShare (optional); 
• Preference for modifying the browse url on unit tests to run unit tests; 
• Other bugs...;

Another free ColdFusion service - cfaday

I've just published the last piece of the puzzle. For those who read my last blog post, you should be already familiar with the "a day series"

It's a small set of applications aimed to all ColdFusion Developers who want to go the extra mile, and not limit their knowledge to only a small set of information.

The functionality is pretty simple, you set one of the URL's as your homepage, and every time you open a new page/tab, it shows you a new ColdFusion function or tag deppending on the flavor you chose.

I'm now publishing the version that includes it all:

Two new and free ColdFusion services for you!

So I've been playing with Google App Engines, and decided to create two projects in favour of our beloved ColdFusion.

I know there's tons of that stuff around the web, but I wanted to make one that would actually help people from all levels. I'll put their URL's here first, so you can cease your curiosity, and then I'll explain more as we go.

Creating new ColdFusion 8 instances - The easy way - Appendix

Following Andy Allan's comment on my previous post, I decided to write a new post and make some things clear here.

In fact, I didn't realize that creating the new instance as a Windows Service through ColdFusion Administrator would cause so much trouble as it does. Basically, if you do check "Create Windows Service", your new instnace will automatically be created as a Windows Service. It's not too bad, as you would normally want your new ColdFusion instance to start-up with your server.
