A Moment Of Silence... "Not" in Memory of ColdFusion
'Our 'pals' at SYS-CON have done it again. Just when I thought they had displayed the utmost in immaturity and unprofessionalism, they manage to make even bigger fools of themselves. And no, I am not going to link to specific posts or pages, and I ask that comments refrain from the same - considering that all they have nowadays are measly ads, I do not want to in any way contribute to their ad revenue. Suffice it to say that the more we see of SYS-CON's petty antics, the more our decision to cut their funding makes sense. Of course, that is what has triggered this recent outbreak of logorrhoea, and judging by their meaningless drivel I can only assume that the few employees who were not wise enough to jump ship are feeling somewhat desperate. And so, perhaps a moment of silence is in order for the fallen SYS-CON. Or ... nah, what the heck, a toast is more appropriate. Cheers!'
In the arena that night, the whole last minute was drowned out by cheers — and then when the soaring music swelled, the confetti rained down as the harbinger of balloons and the hopeful first family took the stage, forget about it — it was a perfect end to a convention that last Monday, no one even knew if it would happen. But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
Reuters - Hurricane Ike barreled toward Cuba as an
extremely dangerous Category 4 storm on Sunday and was forecast
to sweep into the central Gulf of Mexico as a large and
powerful storm echoing Hurricane Gustav.
