ColdFusion Open-Source Update - September 8, 2009
Posted on Sep 08, 2009
Three new projects and one update this week in ColdFusion open source. Forgive me as my head is in the clouds today. I am suffering from both a lack of sleep and overexcitement after watching my Miami Hurricanes beat our hated arch-rival FSU last night. Its been a few years since Miami had any real national prominence in college football, so it feels good (at least today) to think we are on the right track. Plus, any day that is bad for FSU (out of the AP rankings) is a good day in my opinion. On another completely unrelated note, if you want a PS3 Slim and are planning on attending RIA Unleashed : Boston, check out our new referral contest! Anyway, pardon the interruption, back to the topic at hand.
