"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion."
— Henry David Thoreau

Doug Reboot
So I’ve taken July off. Well, most of it. I return to work on July 24th. My goal is to clear my mind and to take on the world on July 24th with renewed vigor. The time off will consist of attending my sister’s wedding (happened this past week), to clean the house and work on home projects, and to hike the mountains of Wyoming’s Wind River Range for 8 days including crossing the Continental Divide twice and visiting a glacier then having 2 additional days in the Grand Tetons.
The trip to Cincinnati for my sister’s wedding began with an evening meal with the visiting relatives.
Receipt – Great Wolf Lodge
On June 28, 2013 at 6:40pm we purchased 4 MagiQuest games at greatwolf.com in Mason OH while visiting for my sister’s wedding.
No, I won’t use your CMS
So I’m doing some ColdFusion research (the Adobe kind not the physics kind) and thought it might be time to bring CFNinja.com back to life (not that it ever had much of a life). I hesitate to turn CFNinja.com into a WordPress site since CFNinja originally started with the intent to be a central location for ColdFusion developers to collaborate and it seems silly to use a PHP driven application for a CF site. The recommendations for a CF CMS seems to be Content Box. I figured I would install it real quickly and compile some of my research using Contentbox on CFNinja. First, the online documentation goes to a 404 page:
Not good for a content management system to not be able to find its own documentation. Even the older docs 404. Ah! Just went to reproduce the problem and found another path to the docs. Hmm. Maybe I’ll do this afterall.
Any other alternatives for ColdFusion CMS systems?
