ColdFusion Open-Source Update - September 22, 2008
Posted on Sep 22, 2008
No new releases and three updates this week in the world of ColdFusion open-source...but let's get to why you are really here: yes, I noticed the lowly Dolphins beat the Patriots yesterday. I'd say this was the first sign of the apocalypse but there are a few things to consider: a) the Pats didn't have Brady or Mulroney; b) the Pats always seem to play down to the Dolphins level (see 2006); c) I promised my first-born to some fellow named Rumpelstiltskin.
