"..." "...You know, I almost can't be mad at this. This is by far the best picture I've ever gotten, if only for the sole reason that I would never in a thousand years anticipate getting a picture of a rainbow-vomit-colored plague doctor fixing a tear in the thaumaturgic veil with a pipe wrench while embryonic Kobolds scream in the background as they lose their carefully sorted letters to the ether. It manages to both amuse and annoy me. Well done." "I'm not sure how many toads you had to lick to come up with this, but I would advise you to next time—should there be a next time—limit yourself to fewer than what it took you to make it. That level of chemically-induced tomfoolery isn't the type of thing that warrants multiple excursions, unless the goal is a definitive and hysterical death." "That said, I know what you're getting at here. You aren't helping your case. Despite your illustration, I am now even more skeptical. You got some panache for design, though. I'll give you that much. Points for style." "In fact, you know what? This ain't even going on the coldbox. I'm slapping this sucker on the wall of the Apothecary. Maybe when a customer sees it, they'll remember to buy some anti-psychotic tinctures or mushroom antidote."

The @cf_camp 2026 speaker lineup is confirmed! 🎉 We had a strong CFP this year with lots of really cool submissions, which made selection genuinely hard. Topics range from CFML and ColdBox to AI, performance and operations, hopefully something for everyone in Munich this June. 👥 Speakers: cfcamp.org/cfcamp-conference… 📋 Sessions: cfcamp.org/sessions.html #CFCamp #CFCamp2026 @coldfusion @lucee_server @TryBoxLang

Even the smallest CFer can change the course of the future. Into the Box 2026 is happening April 29 - May 1 in Washington DC and if you're a #ColdFusion developer, this event is worth the journey. The fellowship is assembling. Theme this year is Modernization in Motion - and honestly that's exactly where the CF world is right now. Not sitting still, not going backward. Moving. Topics on the agenda include AI, APIs, WebAssembly, microservices, cloud-native apps, real-time UIs, security, and DevOps. Speakers include Brad Wood, Luis Majano, Charlie Arehart, Gavin Pickin, and a full crew of Ortus Solutions engineers plus community folks from orgs like University of Virginia, Serco, and Western National Group. The Ortus ecosystem - BoxLang, ColdBox, CommandBox, TestBox and about 20 other "box" tools - is front and center. If you've been wondering whether to modernize your CF apps or how to get started, this is where you get real answers from people who've actually done it. I've been going to CF conferences since... well, let's just say it was a different age of the world. Into the Box consistently delivers the kind of hallway conversations and hands-on sessions that actually move the needle when you get home. Not all those who wander into legacy CF codebases are lost - but a map helps.

"What the...?" "This...kinda looks like the Orc wrote it? Damn, I can't tell. Something about a jackal...?" "*Sigh.* I'm just gonna assume that the Orc wrote this, 'cause not even the most drunken scrawlings look this bad. Not mine, anyway." "So what's this about jackals? Your teacher moving on from writing diction to animal lessons? Fine I guess, though there's not a jackal within several thousand miles from here. Strange animal to be learning about. You'd do better to learn about bightdrakes, or blackstalks, or the Merrow, or anything, really. Even though the Merrow aren't animals, they're still pretty neat." "Sooo...I'll just assume that this first little scribble is your attempt to draw a jackal. Fine. Your enigmatic, possibly ersatz jackal will now be put on the side of the coldbox. Or if I'm wrong, send a follow-up letter explaining just what the Hells I'm supposed to be looking at, please."

Across the road at the ASU plant, another platform has been lifted to the Coldbox, concrete is being poured into newly built forms and columns are being raised. @LabPadre
