ColdFusion Open-Source Update - December 17, 2007
Posted on Dec 17, 2007
Four new projects and one update this week. In celebration the Dolphins lone win this season (and avoiding a dubious position in the record books) I will be taking next week off from this update - well that and some holiday occurring next week. Actually, I am off to Miami as of tomorrow night, which is seeming much more appealing after all the snow (and my aching back) this past week. Anyway, enjoy this holiday collector's edition of the open-source update ;)
