MXDU/MUG - That TShirt
The photos from MXDU are starting to come in and Justin Mclean's contribution from the MUG evening on day zero manages to include of the mullergut (original "one pack" - body by six pack) modelling the mugshot tshirt that I had made for that event.

ColdFusion & Flash Remoting on OS X
I got to tryout CFMX on OS X thanks to the good people at Apple who lent us a few...

MXDU: Branden Hall Keynote
Branden Hall travelled to Australia for the day to deliver a keynote on FlashMX at the MXDU conference. Once he got here we managed to convince the poor bloke that flying back the following day was very un-Australia -- Branden stayed for a BBQ, a few drinks and a daring display of pop-locking :)

MXDU: Rock Concert for Geeks
Well I'd hoped to blog a bunch of things for MXDU live -- but with all the mayhem, last minute changes and running around there was no time! So I'm sitting in bed with one of these flashy Apple G4 Laptops blogging away over the Airport, reflecting on the conference that was.

6:30PM Sydney time... It's still a bit of a hairy start as they cutover all of the infrastructure to the new site -- but from what I can see Dylan65 is looking "Nanna Goat Sweet!"

CFANYWHERE?! NewAtlanta Announce BlueDragon for .NET
New Atlanta makes a CF5 compliant engine that lets you distribute CF applications as unfettered WAR/EAR or compiled binaries on J2EE. If you want to impress your friends with your very own .NET application written in CF, it doesn't look like you'll have to wait long.

fullasagoog: Public Webservice Available
Just a quick note to let folks know that FullAsAGoog has a webservice for repurposing the blended feed from the site. Feel free to use the webservice as you wish -- I would ask that people who want to use it for something serious let me know so I can warn you if I need to change the webservice in anyway.
