I've got what's needed to convince a Java client to move to CF and can sell
a project but I fall down on billing, project cost specs and the like.
On a side sales note, once I get my digital recorder in, I'll have a few
"selling ColdFusion in a Java world" scripts recorded for transcription.

Glad to hear. I like knowing that CF is getting out there.

I seriously considered moving out to DC, I figure some day I will
probably end up out there. I am finding more and more places in Ohio
that use CF though.

When I was looking for CF work just this past April or so, I got to
the point of looking for out of town jobs. I would have been coming
home maybe two weekends out of the month had I taken any of the ones I
was looking at. I got lucky in finding a new contract here in town
and even more so within
When things were really bad in NY I seriously thought about doing weeks in
DC and home on the weekends. Judith really didn't like the idea.

I think there is a lot of potential there, specially w/ your
knowledge-base as the "lead".
I'm okay at business, but not at sales. To make something like that
successful, you need a good sales folk.

Johnny - just thought I'd give you a friendly warning/piece of advice:
try not to compare DC with anywhere else in the world when it comes to
the CF job market. It only frustrates people that don't live here. Yes
- the market in DC is unreal... but that's unique to DC.

I suck at business. If you know someone with the business experience to do
this, I'd be happy to partner with them and make it happen. I've got
everything needed short of that.

Where do you guys live? The job market is booming in DC. It is very easy to
find a CF job here. Not only that, many CF developers make DotNet salary.
I am not sure if you should worry about cheap foreign labor. The cheap labor
is definitely attractive. I actually hired them on a bunch of pr

Oh, the floppy, wonder if that is the same file folder. Better yet,
wonder if it still works.

Now I'm going to have to check when I get home. I know there's a spiral
bound docs from some early version.
But back to the thread, I think I'm going to start mentoring programmers
from my community in CF and send them to some of these jobs. They have well
over 10 years software experience so pic
Mine is not spiral bound if I remember right it is just stapled. I
feel cheated, perhaps I should call up MACR and complain :)

Yeh, white paper spiral bound with a clear plastic cover. The good old days

The Blackstone docs are a total of 100 times that now. How we've grown.

Official release was July of 95 with a beta before that. That's officially
9.5 years and a max of 10 or 10.5 for those on the beta. I didn't get in

But yeh, it's been a long time.

Amazing how time flies, I had to sit here and think for a second as to

I've been seeing a sharp increase in NY area jobs which is great. Problem
is, because most of the CF in the area has been 'hidden' for the last 4
years most of the programmers are either taken or just not present. I'm
