ExtJS version 3.0 is out! Feature packed and ready for the most demanding business web apps, this is the best release yet! Did test it through the RC versions and now I’m already using it for production. Check out some cool demos and product information here!

There’s this brilliant post by Pablo Varando on how some of his students used several technologies do develop a project, including the “dead” ColdFusion

We’re creating CFPortugal, the Portuguese ColdFusion User Group, with Adobe support. The site will be cfportugal.org and will be available quite soon!

So I had to configure a sharepoint server access on macos and it was not able to resolve the host name. I know how to do this in windows using lmhosts.sam but I didn’t know how the Mac would handle such task. So I went digging and these are my findings:

1. Edit private/etc/hosts and include your host (I used vi) . For example:

### Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.##
127.0.0.1       localhost255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
192.168.0.5     myserver

DO NOT CHANGE the localhost and broadcasthost settings.

2. Test it using PING

$ ping myserver

And at this point everything should be working. If not please verify your host definition (step 1). If everything’s ok try to reboot in case the new settings are not being loaded.
This was only tested on MacOS X 10.5.5 and you must have root permissions to accomplish the task as the hosts file is read only for non root users.

This year Max Europe will take place in Milan, Italy from December 1st to December 4th. Early bird registration available until September 21st!

Students, faculty and educational institutions can now get ColdFusion for free, pretty much like the Flex Builder program. You can get it at https://freeriatools.adobe.com/coldfusion.
