Adobe released Coldfusion 8.0.1. I am a little late on this one as I was flying back from Chicago on the day it was released and missed it. I just updated my box and it seems to be working great. If you are going to run this update make sure you get the new extensions for Dreamweaver or Eclipse, as they have introduced a lot of new tag attributes, like an alt attribute for cfimage.

I have successfully got coldfusion talking to a Filemaker 9 database. It turned out to be pretty simple really.

I enabled ODBC/JDBC in Filemaker server. Installed the latest SequeLink on the coldfusion server. Setup a System DNS and pointed to it in the coldfusion admin. The only odd thing I ran into is in Filemaker field names can have spaces so when I do an insert into a field I have to put double quotes on the field name.

Adobe released Acrobat 8.1.2. As of right now it seems this update is only available via the Adobe software update utility. Updateing Acrobat to full Leopard compatibility. I am now prepared to update our classroom iMacs to 10.5. Adobe Acrobat training. Update: You can now download the updaters for both Mac and Win.

Adobe released an update for After Effects (8.0.2 Win/Mac) as well as Indesign (5.0.2 Win/Mac) Now After Effects enjoys P2 support just like Premiere.

I have done this before when the data was clean and when I only needed to worry about one ID by just adding or subtracting one from the ID value. On my photo album pages I wanted to create a way to view my photos without lytebox. I have 2 IDs photo album and photo. Also my data is not the cleanest for example in my Denver photos I do not have a photo 1. I came up with a solution, not the most elegant I will admit. My work around for this problem includes looping the query to set the row number to a variable than instead of displaying against the photo ID I display against the row number. To create the next and previous I just add or subtract 1 from the row number. I also had to put a cfif to check to make sure my previous row variable was not -1. The code is below. You can see it in action here.
