ColdFusion Open-Source Update - May 27, 2008
Posted on May 27, 2008
Five new projects and five updates this week. Yes, its Tuesday and not Monday but I was away on vacation in Kennebunkport, Maine hoping to bump into George, Sr. He was there and usually addresses the Memorial Day parade crowd but apparently he got ill and didn't make it. Oh well. Guess he didn't hear I was in town.
