I remember all of the logos but actually only worked with CF since 4.0.

Many Happy returns CF, and I look forward to many more years of innovation!

That takes me back. We started hosting Coldfusion on version 4. It's certainly changed a lot since those days (and I don't mean always in a good way if you know what I mean..)

Happy Birthday..... :)

I think the original logo was the best. It illustrated lots of power easily contained in your hand. How about bringing it back for CF9, but in a style that compliments the current "cf" logo?

Happy Birthday, ColdFusion. Don't get too drunk at your party because you've got 1000's of websites to serve! ;-)

Hey Ben - A bit unrelated, but the nostalgia here reminded me of a question I've been meaning to ask. Do you have any clue if this site -->http://www.arenafootball.com/HomePage.dbml is truly using THE 'dbml' or is there another variant/technology that I'm unaware of?

Ah - I still need to start a "Bring Back The Bolt" campaign... Maybe for CF 10??

That original logo is EXACTLY how I felt when I wrote my first CFQuery/CFOutout and pulled that data back from the database!!!

Bring Back The Bolt!

You can't see it but I am doing a little dance for ColdFusion right now.

In other news, the captcha image for me is 'aol' today. lol

Happy Birthday, CF! I remember all the logos - I feel old now {grin}

Happy Birthday.

Still love the lightening bolt logos though the current Adobe logo is really growing on me.

# Posted By Sam Farmer | 7/10/08 9:11 AM

Its good see old logos on this occasion.
Thanks ben.

Bring back the bolt. hee hee

@Todd, the arena football site appears to be running Apache Tomcat/5.0.27 but that's about all I can figure out. They appear to have mappings for .jsp and .dbml, but not .cfm.

My company owns an AFL team (KC Brigade) and we manage the Brigades site. I'll ask my webmaster if he knows what the league’s site is written in.

Watch the video of ColdFusion's 10th birthday party event held in the Newton, MA office, July 13 2005. The founders of ColdFusion, which was almost known as Prometheus or Horizon, recant the early days of Allaire Corporation.

...and 10 years since the first CF conference, Held July 24th - July 26th 1998 in Ft Collins Colorado. Some of the materials from that conference (and the cover of the first CFDJ) here:

Ok, I promised I would look into the dbml thing that Todd brought up. I found out that a company named JumpTV has made a whole slew of sports related sites (including the Arena Football League site), and they ALL use the .dbml extension. After a few E-mails to random people I go a reply back. Apparently they use a language called DBRocket.

Yeah, I've never heard of it and Google brings back very little on it. Anyone know anything about DBRocket?
