ColdFusion Open-Source Update - September 10, 2007
Posted on Sep 10, 2007
One new release and two updates this week. Kind of quiet I suppose - probably since this is a short week as last week's update was a day late. Either that, or everybody was too busy dancing on the grave of CFDJ to work on open-source. The whole pronouncing CFDJ dead seems almost humorous when we are talking about a journal that was catatonic for well over a year now. It reminds me of a scene from Top Secret: Judge answers the phone call from hospital, "Yes...ok...well, let me know if his condition changes." Judge hangs up the phone and proclaims, "He's dead!" Ok, so the scene is funnier than my explanation of it...on to the topic at hand...
