As i've been working thru the issues trying to get BlueDragon working on my Ubuntu box, I'm again reminded of the awesome community build by all you ColdFusion Developers. You guys are truely great.

Adam Howitt took 2 hours out of his Sunday afternoon to help me on the issues with BD and Ubuntu. This guy is a complete stranger, saw my plea's for help on the BlueDragon list, and very diligently has been working with me to get it running. Here's a guy that purely out of the kindness of his heart took hours of his time out to help a almost clueless newbie like me. Now that's community. That's the ColdFusion community that is making me love this language.

Please take the time to check out Adam's pages. http://www.webdevref.com/blog and http://www.walkjogrun.net.

Also, people like Dave Shuck and Aaron Lynch are always offing to help me out. The generosity of people like Dave and Aaron speaks volumes about the ColdFusion community they represent. Thank you guys!

Last but definitely not least I also want to thank Mike Hanson. I met Mike thru my church a couple of years ago. He has spent so much of his time teaching me and mentoring me on ColdFusion and other related technologies. I really am so grateful for his time and patience and wouldn't be nearly as far along as I am if it weren't for him. Thank you Mike,

If anyone actually reads this, I ask that you please check out the web pages of these 4 guys and support them in any way you can. They deserve it!

So, before I start suggesting group hugs here or at the next CFUG Meeting, I'll close this thing.

Later,

Mark
