Where am I?
It's been nearly two weeks... no. It has been two weeks, since the last time I posted. What's been up? Well, as is typically the case when I take a hiatus from posting, I've been busy with other things. My distraction, or focus, for the past couple of weeks has been ColdFusion. After having been using ColdFusion for nearly a year, I've learned more in the past month then I have in the past several months. I'm not sure what caused the light bulb to come on and for so much to become clear so quickly, but it happened at a very good time.

Kirk Langer and myself have been in Denver, CO since Tuesday to attend the Macromedia FastTrack to ColdFusion training. While I already know how to do much of the stuff that we are learning here, it is very helpful to hear and learn the "right" way to do things. The woman that is teaching the course is a long-time ColdFusion developer, and that has made things interesting as the entire course has been taught from a coder's perspective, rather than a designer's perspective.

We will be working in the next couple of months to take what we've learned here and create a two-day database/coldfusion workshop for the Network Operations Committee of the Nebraska Educational Service Units. We'll almost certainly be attacking that from more of a design/drag-and-drop perspective than the hand-coding method that we have experienced here.
