It’s that time of year again, of particular importance this year due to the fact that business has been agonizingly slow for the last year, but has now picked up to the point that it has become necessary to travel south of the border. South of the Canadian border, that is. I’ll be spending a week or so in a hotel in San Diego locked in a room with my two business partners while we hammer out some ideas on a gargantuan whiteboard.

I’ve had further opportunity to play with ColdFusion 8/9, but I haven’t discovered anything particularly noteworthy aside from finding that I suck at cfscript. I vastly prefer tag syntax, but I’ve done a bit of reading on it and it seems like something I’ll need to know, even though it is similar to JavaScript with I have a hate/hate relationship with.

I have enjoyed using ColdFusion Builder Beta. I don’t generally need “Live View” from Dreamweaver anymore – I am quite comfortable using a simple text editor so Dreamweaver comes across as a bit bloated at this point for my purposes. ColdFusion Builder has just what I need and it seems to do it well.

This last week has been prep work for a project that has been looming without funding for quite a long time (and has recently been funded). I fly to San Diego tomorrow morning and after that I suspect there will be plenty to write about; I only hope I have time to do so.
