Thanks for the responses.  Not like the government is going to jump ship 
any time soon.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] MySpace growth






Mary-Catherine,
 
Even better -- here's a copy of a post I sent to the BlueDragon list a 
while ago:
 
---------------------
If you think that's customer service, try this.
 
Last year on the Friday before the Christmas holiday, when everone in the 
world was taking the day off to be with their families, David and I 
discovered an obscure CFLOGIN syndication issue with BD 6.1 when using 
hardware load balancing on a cluster with syndicated session objects using 
ScaleOut StateServer.  We debugged for a couple of hours, then called New 
Atlanta and told them that we really needed to solve this issue 
immediately.
 
So what would you expect to happen?
 
Vince himself comes out to *our* office with his laptop and the BD.NET 
source code, and we work together for a few hours to uncover the problem. 
It turns out that because we're always diligent about putting OUTPUT="No" 
in both the CFCOMPONENT and CFFUNCTION tags, this triggered an issue 
unique to our environment that he traced to a single line in the source 
code.  So Vince corrects it, compiles us a special version, and everything 
works perfectly.  Vince waited until everything worked before he went home 
to his family after 6:00 that night.  And he was more than happy to do it.
 
Some days later we came up against a second issue that also has affected 
clustered BD (and CF) apps: the fact that you can't have failover that 
honors authorization, because roles aren't syndicated between machines. So 
we were put in touch directly with the guy who was responsible for that 
part of the BD codebase, and we all worked out the design of the solution 
for how roles could be syndicated between machines in a cluster.
 
30 hours later, at about 2:15 AM, we got a fix emailed to us.  And that is 
what made BD.NET the only CFML processor that handles the entire CFLOGIN 
framework across machines in a cluster with full failover.
 
Well, you don't have to hit *me* in the head a third time...  I resigned 
from Team Macromedia the following day, then David and I joined the 
BlueDragon Alliance.
 
I can't tell you how good I feel about the level of service I get from New 
Atlanta.  I am confident that the BD.NET solutions I deploy will just 
work, all the time.  No server hangs from zero-byte mail spool files.  No 
RegEx DoS attacks.  No JVM Bind errors.  No running out of database 
connections.  It just works.  And if it ever doesn't work -- even under 
the most exclusive and obscure conditions that might not affect others -- 
I get the best of the best handling it immediately.
 
If the software industry had Marines, New Atlanta would be them.

New Atlanta's stellar performance in the areas of product quality and 
support?  Or the reason why I quit Team Macromedia and went with the 
BlueDragon Alliance?  Or the consistent differences in reliability and 
performance we've seen between ColdFusion and BD.NET? 
<<< 

Promise I am not trying to start a flame war, just the reason behind this 
move (I've probably read your posts, but don't remember them).  From your 
comments are you implying "screw Adobe because their product sucks; I hate 
them".  And that you just like BD because you prefer their product (and 
the direction they are going), rather than Adobe/ Macromedia?  People jump 
various ships all the time, but just wanting to know your 'why'.

Have you read any of my previous posts to various lists regarding New 
Atlanta's stellar performance in the areas of product quality and support? 
 Or the reason why I quit Team Macromedia and went with the BlueDragon 
Alliance?  Or the consistent differences in reliability and performance 
we've seen between ColdFusion and BD.NET?  If not then take a look, or 
feel free to call me personally at 770-446-8866 and I'll be happy to 
share.

Adam, 
Thank you for the colorful commentation. 
 
Can you offer a more thoughtful and objective point of view that would not 
slander one side or the other and would avoid a flame war? 
 
I am sure our readers would be interested in the ramifications of 
enterprise business to business partnerships versus product bias. 
 
Teddy

Oh, God, no no no NO NO NO NO!!!!!! 
  
Lord, I know I've done You wrong before.  I know I've had my differences 
with You in the past and not done as You'd wished from time to time.  And 
I'm deeply sorry, Lord, *deeply* sorry, if I've offended You in any way, 
and I thank You for showing me the Light.   
  
I know now that I should have never invented the Puppy Trebuchet, had them 
manufactured by child slave labor in China, and sold them at an obscene 
profit to the idle rich.  I know that now, because You've showed me The 
Way. 
  
I know now, Dear Lord, that it is not right to initiate dozens of 
simultaneous office pools around Atlanta on which employee can give the 
boss Herpes the fastest, take "10% For The House," and use that money to 
finance underground "Free First Taste Of Crack Day" for middle schoolers. 
You've shown me that it's wrong. 
  
But Lord, if You have any mercy left in You for the wretch that is me... 
If You can forgive me just one more time...  If You can do one thing for 
me, then please please *PLEASE* don't ever let Adobe get their hands on 
BlueDragon.NET, Lord, please. 
  
Please keep them apart, Dear Lord, so that the pristine nature of 
BlueDragon.NET is not sullied.  So that it remains a shining beacon of 
CFML performance when loads get heavy.  So that we, it's disciples, can 
hear The Voice Of Reason when we need support, and not have to wait for 
generations in hopeless bondage.  So that freedom of choice may reign. 
  
Thank you, and Amen.
