It was my second day at the new job today. After a lackluster Monday following only a few hours of sleep, I came in rested today and picked up coldfusion and the fusebox framework in about 4 hours. The IT director bugged out when I rewrote their incident reporting system this afternoon. I suppose it will take me a little longer to start making intelligent use of the whole toolkit, but I'm useful now.
Incidentally, fusebox really makes CF a useable application server, there's even a third-party unit testing package for it that pretty prints all of the test results into a nifty table. I'll have to play around with fusebox/PHP on my personal site.
After three years of Classic Mac OS desktop application development, coming back to web apps is cake. This really is the right way to do distributed apps.

I'm gearing up for an 18 credit semester this Spring. I think I can do it, I managed a 3.53 with eleven credits + full time work over the summer semester. My new job is giving me Monday and Wednesday mornings off when the Spring term starts, so I should be okay.
Okay, this is boring. Everybody else seems preoccupied with work and school in their journals this week, at least it's topical.
