I haven't had the chance to write about my relationship with ColdFusion yet, and I don't have the time right now. Since ColdFusion is currently paying my bills, I have to put this story out there real quick and expose it for what it is, poop.

Credit to Dave for this showing me this story on computerworld: Top 10 dead (or dying) computer skills

From Mary Brandal (the one who I referred to as "taking a dump")

This once-popular Web programming language -- released in the mid-1990s by Allaire Corp. (which was later purchased by Macromedia Inc., which itself was acquired by Adobe Systems Inc.) -- has since been superseded by other development platforms, including Microsoft Corp.'s Active Server Pages and .Net, as well as Java, Ruby on Rails, Python, PHP and other open-source languages.

There are many problems with her statement. I won't go in to any of them but will let the great Forta sort her out: Forta.com - Today's Irresponsible Journalism Award Goes To Mary Brandel

Chances are you have no idea what all of this is. BUT, if you have a digg account you're welcome to bury the story here.

  • Enable Line Numbers in CFEclipse

    I've been terribly annoyed with an issue with Eclipse / CFEclipse lately where line numbers are not showing up by default. Oh, and the option to enable them in the preferences is not there either. This becomes a problem when, you know, you're trying to work. ;-) I found a quick and dirty solution to enable line numbers.

  • Mobile Photo Blog - Post from your Sprint phone to your blog using Coldfusion

    I've had my Treo 650 for quite some time now. I've only recently started using the camera portion of my phone. I'd really like to get the photos on the web but the burden of transferring the images from my phone to my computer / from my computer to my blog kept me from doing so. I was able to put together a solution for this, read on.

  • Thank You Fishalicious

    A few months back I tried to install Coldfusion locally together with MAMP and it was a horrible disaster because I was on a newly released version of Leopard. A few months later I decided to give it a try and found this great tutorial.

You know ColdFusion is alive and strong when she gets blasted by hundreds of ColdFusion developers. We will stand up and fight for our mighty platform!
