The first post.  I&amp;#39;ve decided to start a blog primarily because I like writing.  And having been a programmer for the last 10 years I haven&amp;#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&amp;#39;m not going to use the grammar corrector in Word before posting.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I am also intrigued by social networking so InstantSpot seemed a good spot (pun intended) to start my blog.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
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.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
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&amp;#39;m busy enough there anyway.  Good busy.  I also don&amp;#39;t believe blogs die.  So if I have nothing good or interesting to say I will say nothing.  I also don&amp;#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.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
More to come...
&lt;/p&gt;
