Eclipse, ColdFusion and Mark Drew, Synchronised?

A little twitter message from Kev got me thinking about something totally unrelated really, but it might explain a few things.

Let me fill you in with a few facts first:

  • Eclipse just released version 3.3. Last year, at the same time, they released 3.2 and the year before that 3.1
  • Adobe's ColdFusion going to be 12 years old tomorrow (10th of July)
  • I am going to be 33 on the 11th of July

Take all these facts together and you start seeing a pattern! I share (nearly) a birthday with a technology I love. I work on CFEclipse which is built on the Eclipse platform, which releases a version for the last 3 years that matches my age, within two weeks of my birthday, hmm... this is real synchronicity at work here don't you think?

Anyway, Happy (Early) Birthday ColdFusion, may Adobe keep releasing great software for many years to come!

(just as a thought exercise, do you think they will release CF tomorrow???)

Mike K's Gravatar Patterns? I will take the Strategy Pattern for $100. What about the Memento pattern, in case you want the ability to restore yourself to its previous state?

Mark Drew's Gravatar I should have taken a Memento when I was 21 and restore myself every year... sigh.... (but would like to add more attributes... rather than a full restore)

doug's Gravatar Hmmmmm, CF @ 12 + 10 (10th) + 11 (11th) = 33, Hmmmmm. Mark Drew is going to be 33 and has been aging in parallel with Eclipse releases while CF has been aging in parallel as well. Yes - Yes - there is something here.
