James Skemp's StrivingLife

So. I took the next step and downloaded, and installed, ColdFusion MX 7.01, Developer's Edition, on my home computer. (I also picked up another 512 MB of memory from Crucial.com, but that's another story.)

Why? Well, I needed the memory for the programs I'm using. Why ColdFusion? Because I'm using it at work anyways, and the Developer Edition is free. When presented with that, why not? Sure, I've got Apache running on the same machine, and I can already program in so many languages, but I'd really like to be able to write CF code for ... fun. Yikes. Seriously, it's an interesting, and fun, language.

Can CF do lots of unique things that other languages can't do? Maybe - I don't know. But I do know that I've got to use it, so use it I will.

Of course, you won't see CF used on the StrivingLife.net Network, since I'm sure iPowerWeb won't be purchasing and installing ColdFusion - why bother, and would it even run on BSD? But, you may see snippets of code floating about. And heck, if I can find a way to run ASP for nothing, maybe I'll add that to my machine as well. Since I want to pick up another computer anyways, why not?

Without a Net - The Internet is vulnerable to viruses so lethal that they could gravely damage the online world — unless we upgrade law and technology now. By Jonathan Zittrain

What a headline ...

Jacques Chirac, France's president, has threatened to use nuclear weapons against any state that supported terrorism against his country or considered using weapons of mass destruction.

So, terrorists are everywhere, not contained within set land boundaries. States/governments/masses of people, on the other hand, are/can be.

Are you punishing the 'terrorists', or are you punishing the common man in what-so-ever country is determined to be aiding the terrorists, in that some of it's most popular few are assisting? And, while I'm against Iran developing nuclear technology, it's partially because of what France is now doing.

I'm not into politics, and this is extremely political, but that's my take on this.
