Today is going to be totally about stress and anger management. Let’s light some incense.

Technical Issue of the Day
I had a client needing to backup and/or restore ODBC datasources to the ColdFusion Administrator today. Pete Freitag just a very nice description showing that CF 5 and prior versions stored the DSN information in these registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\DataSources
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBCAnd MX stores the information in the file cfusionmx\lib\neo-query.xml.
Scheduled tasks are stored in cfusionmx\lib\neo-cron.xml.

Staying Up
I woke at 3am and almost stayed up. Again I woke at 5am and watched a few minutes of television with Noah but did not have the will power to stay up and work. As this day rapidly falls apart I regret not giving up sleep for productivity.

Car accident
Four car pileup at the Huntington/Northshore entrance of my neighborhood with 1 fatality. Wonder if I knew them.

Slick ColdFusion Reference
For you ColdFusion programmers like myself, here’s a nice reference. Looks a lot like its using AJAX.

How am I?
Alright. Let’s see. Pulse? Yes, still alive. Heart rate? accelerated. Ok, stressed. Breathing? Yup. I guess that’s all that counts. Now where are we today? Ah! Ye ol’ box o’ mail hath been emptied! Granted, mostly just moved to another box but sorted with intentions of getting things back in order.
See, once upon a time I knew to the penny how much money I had, what was coming in and what was going out. I even had an account set up in Quicken for "petty cash" and kept all loose change in a lock box in the house to balance the petty cash fund against. Since Quicken didn’t give reports I liked I would also keep records of inflows and outflows by category in an excel spreadsheet. Ah the glory days. Way over the top! But man did it feel good to be able to chart your success (or demise).
Today is nearly the exact opposite. I’m hoping over the next few weeks to come to some sort of happy medium.

Beat
Tails you win
Heads I lose
Negativity in my life
Infused
People out to get me
I didn’t play by the rules
Owe no man
But what if you do
Try try again
Until its evident
There’s no way to win. -
