ColdFusion Open-Source Update - July 9

Posted on Jul 09, 2007

Three new projects and four updates to discuss this week. This week's edition is dedicated to the brilliant person/program managing the firewall that blocked Ray's site at my office. It is understandable given all the objectionable material Ray discusses on his blog like recent posts on a var scope "screw up" (yikes! he said screw!) and Boeing (OMG, is he talking about flashing?!?). Anyway, this delayed my post a bit, but here it is in all its glory! The man will not keep me down!
