I&#39;ve decided to start a blog primarily because I like writing. And having been a programmer for the last 10 years I haven&#39;t written much during that time. I also realize I like writing about technical issues and have a fair amount on my mind at the moment so it seems like a good time to start a blog. Note, I did not say I was a grammatically correct writer. So, expect the odd typo and grammatically incorrect sentence from time to time. This is a blog and I&#39;m not going to use the grammar corrector in Word before posting. </p> <p> I am also intrigued by social networking so InstantSpot seemed a good spot (pun intended) to start my blog. </p> <p> I aim to cover a bunch of topics, some tutorials and explanations of basic ColdFusion functionality, thoughts on the future of the web and ColdFusion, conferences, and anything else that comes up. I will mostly be focusing on ColdFusion (and will probably start using cf as an abbreviation real soon) though I do hope to post on other non-cf topics like JavaScript, MySQL and databases in general and who knows what else in the future. </p> <p> I am not going to aim to publish on a regular basis and have pledged to keep this blog a purely non-work time activity. I&#39;m busy enough there anyway. Good busy. I also don&#39;t believe blogs die. So if I have nothing good or interesting to say I will say nothing. I also don&#39;t think this will turn into a news blog with short entries and links to the latest news. There are enough of those, and, I rely on them for my tech-news as much as anywhere else. In short, if you like what you are reading I suggest using the RSS feeds or subscribing over email. </p> <p> More to come... </p> Sun, 01 Apr 2007 18:59:53 GMT http://samfarmer.instantspot.com/blog/2007/04/01/The-First-Post Me
