You really should try making a cake yourself using organic ingredients
and a decent recipe - cfblows the cfsocks off store bought cfjunk.  My
wife and I have been doing that for a few years to much enthusiasm from
family members, the same family members who simply *must* have a yucky
xilbuP cake for their celebrations. :-\

I've just read that Gartner is now branching out of the ICT industry
and is making recommendations on baked goods. Thay say in their latest
report that cupcakes are a niche market and all businesses should
transition to the two defacto industry standard cakes, which are
three-tier layered chocolate cakes and multi-level wedding cakes.

Having been subjected to the darkside of the .NET lately I can
honestly say I feel bloated and somewhat icky and violated (OK I'm

However, some cup cakes spread throughout the day leave me feeling

I know yer joking (and I think I'm safe in betting Connie was too) - but I
agree completely.

I thought it was elegant and understated.  All of the complexity of larger,
bloated confections in a clean, well-defined, easy to handle package.

Sounds like something else uh?  ;^)

This is a piece of software that will remind you what it's like to be a kid
again.  It won't weigh you down with extras that you neither want nor can
understand.  It's instantly gratifying, instantly satisfying and made just
for you - just like a cupcake.

(It's also annoying that cupcakes get such a bad rap for the same reasons -
they really are the perfect form of cake.  Not big enough to make you sick
or tempt you unduly like a "real" cake but the same taste and enough
substance to savor.  Not too small so that you absently eat a whole box like
cookies.  Ah... cupcakes.)

In any case for what it's worth I think it was perfect.

I know yer joking (and I think I'm safe in betting Connie was too) - but I
agree completely.

I thought it was elegant and understated.  All of the complexity of larger,
bloated confections in a clean, well-defined, easy to handle package.

Sounds like something else uh?  ;^)

This is a piece of software that will remind you what it's like to be a kid
again.  It won't weigh you down with extras that you neither want nor can
understand.  It's instantly gratifying, instantly satisfying and made just
for you - just like a cupcake.

(It's also annoying that cupcakes get such a bad rap for the same reasons -
they really are the perfect form of cake.  Not big enough to make you sick
or tempt you unduly like a "real" cake but the same taste and enough
substance to savor.  Not too small so that you absently eat a whole box like
cookies.  Ah... cupcakes.)

In any case for what it's worth I think it was perfect.

Ok, I am laughing so hard that I just have to share this one with you ...

When that banner was created by our graphics guys they circulated it to
several of us for review. I liked it, I thought it was simple and elegant
and kinda classy. Others felt the same way. But one reviewer commented
saying "hey, this is CF users we are talking about, you know that as soon as
we post this someone will complain that it is just a cupcake ..." And sure

Hey, why does none of the confetti fall upon the cupcake?  Is that a
conspiracy too?  And why does ColdFusion only get a cupcake?  After ten
years, you'd think it would desert at least a regular size cake!

Actually that cupcake is 16' tall and just over three tons in weight.  It
was baked by a small army of Romanian grandmothers and their well-meaning
but retarded helper monkeys and dragged into position by a team of
Clydesdales over a period of several weeks.

The real hard part was finding the guy to light it... let me give you a
hint: "Ho ho ho"

2005-07-05 Thread S . Isaac Dealey
The combination of ColdFusion and the placement of the MM home page
banner ad... There have been continual occasional complaints from
people on the mailing lists that these two things never coincide, even
when the "best" Macromedia can produce in terms of non-CF related
banners for their home page is some random website using Flash that
royally sucks. Some have used the lack of CF banner adds on the
Macromedia.com site as fuel for wild speculation that maybe CF isn't
as important to MM or that maybe they're planning to discontinue it --
all of which is of course nonsense -- though the rumor-mill ends up
being somewhat similar to the rumor-mill responsible for "Learn
ASP.NET Now! Microsoft to purchase Macromedia!".

If you were at CFUNITED you could have had a nice piece of the CF 
Cake... full size and real! It looked more like a wedding cake!

Nothing.  There was just a kind of zany thread here a few months back
about CF banners on the home page of MM.com.  One of those 50-post
