The Byte Stops Here

I was wondering if anyone has done this successfully, but how would you restrict concurrent logins in a CF app?

Ideally, you could tie username to a live session, and on log out or timeout, drop that username/session combo, and allow further logins. But this type of solution is unreliable in my experience.

Is there any 3rd-party tool, framework plugin, or CF app, that can do this well?

We could have several options:

• Deny additional logins while one session is active
• Allow 2nd login, logout 1st
• Etc

Ideas?

Looks like there has been a bit of controversy surround the ECMAScript standard and Javascript 2.0. Some new stuff has been "tossed", and they are focusing on a new standard named "Harmony" hoping to "mend fences" and bring people together. Good to know.

Here is a summary from the article: "The Ecma International standards body scraps its ECMAScript 4 effort to pursue a project called "Harmony" that aims at mending fences between warring parties. With Microsoft and Yahoo on one side and Adobe, Mozilla, Google and Opera on seemingly another, Ecma moved to take the middle road. ECMAScript 4 was to become JavaScript 2."

How many of you are tired of Gmail. Well, lately its been a pain.

1. Privacy Issues – The blogosphere has been abuzz more and more about how Google uses your Inbox, Spam, and Deleted Folder to learn about you. Not good.
2. Outages – Gmail was out yesterday for several hours. People were mad as hell. Some people liked it. But its become more and more unreliable, which leads me to my next point.
3. Errors – How many of you see this daily on the top of your Gmail window? Its SOOOOO annoying. Basically, it means whatever action I performed didn't hit the server, and now its queued. And if I close Gmail, all the items I read, deleted, moved, show up again. Its like Gmail is offline.

I've never been a fan of Gmail, but now I'm thinking I'm ready to move. I already use Yahoo, but is there anything better. And the answer is yes.

Have you heard of GMX (http://mail-us.gmx.com/) or Zenbe (http://www.zenbe.com). Both of these guys can consolidate your Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail in one inbox, with a better interface to boot.

I'll try and post reviews. More WebMail clients can be found @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_webmail_providers.
