ColdFusion Open-Source Update - September 24, 2007

Posted on Sep 24, 2007

Fairly busy week, with four new projects and four updates. This week I am getting ready to go to MAX thanks to some generous help from community members who put me as a referral, Adobe for giving me the ticket and my employer for sponsoring the remainder of the trip. I am really exited about the trip as it will provide ample opportunity for beer...I mean...learning. Feel free to say hello if you see me stumbling down the hall doing Marvin the Martian impressions.
