ColdFusion Open-Source Update - September 15, 2009

Posted on Sep 15, 2009

Two project updates this week. A light week apparently. Perhaps open source authors were dismayed and distraught by the failing of their favorite NFL team as I was (mine is the Dolphins). Thankfully, I have come to expect disappointment from my teams - it makes life easier seeing as that is generally what they deliver. Well, on with the update...
