Hi, Denny... > You gotta swim at some point.
Agreed...I'm just trying to decide what pool to swim in this time. I think it would be wise to add ASP.NET to my repertoire. Especially if something should happen with CF, which I don't think it will. But if it should, I could use ASP.NET for business continuity.. I wouldn't say I was living in fear of change, I've just gone through enough upgrades with various products to know there are always issues. But now that I have several server that I can test new products on without having to touch my production server, testing becomes less risky. I gotta ask... 'leetness? What in the world does that mean? And where in this world is home for you?

And you also need to get into "The Cycle", as it were. IF you want to. Stone/wooden wheels are still in use to this day, so of course it isn't really needed. I'm fascinated with the whole process, how things evolve and whatnot. It's cool that there are developer versions of things, so you can test them out, if you can find the time. I've been running MySQL 5 for a week or so now on my dev box, so I'll already have patched the leaks, so to speak, when I decide to upgrade the production server (or have to, roughly 5 years from now, give or take. ;). One disadvantage of being 'leet 'n having stuff "still running" (and believe me, there is a 'leetness to it) is the limited interaction with new products, or plain non-usability of new products, do to requirement changes. A quote from a movie I really liked, but didn't think I would: "Don't live your life in FEAR!" - Ballroom Dancing Heh. Well, enogh of my blather, I could stay on topic* and still have people wanting me to shut up, so I'll get to focusing on what is at hand, here in front of me. *theoretically Thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts, as it were, and again, may The Force be with you and your decisions. :denny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:239788 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
