Back from a 5 month hiatus

Wow, 5 months since my last post. Partly due to work and partly due to some house issues while contractors gutted the kitchen and bathroom.

My department has eliminated CFML for any future development, there are many reasons, including ColdFusion's trend in the marketplace.   The results may be slightly skewed due to the economy and disappearance of web sites.  

You can't blame them for targeting future IT direction in technologies that are upward trending, preferably open source with a large pool of good and inexpensive talent.  Throw in some limitations such as a limited vendor pool to choose from (Manpower) and you can see why CF is out of the picture, especially at the enterprise level in a company with a global presence.  I've fought the good fight and OpenBD and Railo were a little too late to the party.
