FIRST!
So, uh, this is the first blog post.
I have no set plans for this blog, just ramblings about programming and whatever else pops into my head.
I'm a 28 year old ColdFusion programmer, been doing this for two-three years now, and I think I'm becoming pretty decent at it.
I run my own CFML server, create applications ranging from simple static sites to integrated e-commerce solutions with on-the-fly PDF creation and inventory tracking.
I love CFML, and specifically I love the OpenBlueDragon CFML engine (Which is what powers my server).
In fact, I like it so much I've started creating open source apps just for this engine, the first out being the Lindorm CMS (Currently in version 0.2), the reason for planning and creating these are pretty simple, it grew out of frustration.
You see, each CFML engine handles things slightly differently, in good ways and bad, the problem is that some applications (Like CMS engines) don't always work on all CFML engines.
OpenBD is notorious for this, and Railo (The other main free engine) gained more popularity which means things work in Railo but not OpenBD, it becomes a vicious cycle of course because the fewer apps created lessens developers will to work with the engine.
So I decided that instead of whining about the situation, I'm going to fix it, or at least work in that direction.
Lindorm CMS is my first open source project, you can find it on the RIA Forge website, and allthough it's not ready for prime time yet (it's just in version 0.2) it IS already powering a few of my own sites, and it has about 80 downloads.
From those 80 downloads I've only had one person complain, and it turns out he wasn't running the OpenBD engine anyway.
Other projects planned are an issue tracker, a blog and a chat (Almost ready for release!).
So, yeah, first post, yay.
