I recently got a cheap new laptop. So it was time to install some new tools including ColdFusion 8 Developer Edition and MS SQL Server Express. I've done this before with previous versions and didn't have any issues. This time I did.
After spending some time trying to figure out what it was, I did a quick Google search. I wish that I would've done that from the start. Matt Woodward's excellent entry on configuring MS SQL Server Express for ColdFusion clued me in on the issue, configuring MS SQL Server Express' settings. Thanks for the help, Matt!

Satellite Radio
Having rented a car while driving out West the last few days I had plenty of time to listen to satellite radio. It hasn't changed my outlook on it; it has little to offer other than bandwidth. I enjoyed being able to listen to Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me and some English Premier League games. And having both team's radio broadcasts to choose from for the football games was nice. Nevertheless, overall I didn't find it compelling. I would have been just as happy listening to my MP3 player for music and broadcasts. And other than the live NFL games, it would've been the same experience. The satellite radio companies offer a lot of bandwidth. But other than that, they don't have much to offer that the consumer doesn't already have.

Quick ColdFusion Project
I've got some time on my hands. I'm going to start a quick ColdFusion project that will later grow into something larger. It should be a good exercise in building something small that later grows and grows beyond it's planned scope. That's something very common in business. More so for me to get some of my CFC, quasi-OO ColdFusion code out there and exposed for others to critique.
ColdFusion In The Mountains
For those of you who find yourself saying "I'd love to live in the Mountains but I just can't find programming jobs there", now is your chance to step forward and snag one. It's for the Keystone Symposia which is in Silverthorne, Colorado. They're looking for a ColdFusion programmer. For those of you who don't know, there are 4 major ski resorts in the area (A-Basin, Copper Mtn, Breckenridge and Keystone). If you really want to give a go of living in the mountains, now's your chance.
