House of Fusion Now on Blackstone!!!

 
Dec 01, 2004

The future is now! Well, kind of. :)

As of Dec. 12 2004, and with the approval of the Macromedia Blackstone development team, all sites on the House of Fusion hardware, which includes Fusion Authority, are running on Blackstone. All of the House of Fusion sites had previously been on ColdFusion 5 with an eventual plan to move to MX. The upgrade was relatively painless and has resulted in a nice speed increase for the sites. The information gleaned from the move has proven to be very interesting and will result on many articles in the future. Look for a review of how we get the speed we do out of it as soon as Blackstone is out of NDA.

Michael Dinowitz, President of House of Fusion, said, "I'd love to tell you what we've done now. I'd love to tell you when it looks like Blackstone will be coming out. I'd love just to tell you where MM is with the trial program. I can't and it's a strain. Blackstone has some nice stuff and I implore everyone reading this to get in on the testing program (have I not called it a beta program? Might be a hint in there somewhere.)"

As time permits, we hope to add new Blackstone specific features to the site. These may be as simple as new user interfaces to subscription or as complex as Flashpaper/PDF generation of articles. Well, not really complex, as it takes a single tag in blackstone, but you know what we mean. Look for future articles, features, news and interviews on Blackstone in future issues of Fusion Authority. You might also want to subscribe to CF-Talk, where Blackstone features are sure to be discussed in-depth. They're already being talked about now!
