Everything's a framework!!! Ahhh!! order and chaos are at it again! I think consistency is a good thing to aim for, although consistent doesn't always mean good. ;-) Personally, (i've been "doing" CF since 4.5) I started out copying my "framework" from site to site, but things quickly got out of hand. I'd do something spiffy for one, and be, like, "wow, I want this in the other too", or some such. Soon I started having one place where I stored the functions I used a lot, so if I added something it would be available for all to use. (I'm more of a cfinclude some "libs" than a cfc type dude, but now I mix and match. Not consistently at all, however. Woohoo!) When you do that, you can do a global search, give a quick check to make sure you didn't break something else by making things "better" in that function/component/project... or maybe you've got some sort of automated testing going on... good no matter what... Anyway, I've been liking reactor a ton, MG:U quite a bit, and the possibilities are still just dawning on me for ColdSpring. So, uh, I like model glue, I reckon. That said, I do a lot of stuff with various DSNs,and like to use "the same code" (read: not a copy of the code), and I'm still wanking on the best way to do it with MG. "Mixins" or whatnot are sounding tempting, we'll see what happens... So, anyways, I've been meaning to blog about how damn good svn:externals are. That is one AWESOME way to have "multiple copies" of "the same code" in various projects. If anyone here detests trying to keep 2 or more copies of "the same" stuff "in sync" as much as I do, you'd be well served to look into the svn:externals, or the CVS/whateverElse equivilant. Sheesh. I guess I've procrastinated on the latest insane deadlines long enough- I swear, I think I'm the subject of some sort of sadistic psychological experiment... Eh, I bring it on myself. ;] >From this point forward, I'm a "No" man. *sigh* I wish.
