I spy a copy of the "Cold Fusion Web Application Construction Kit"! I worked for Allaire in Sydney in 2000, then Macromedia when they got acquired in 2001. I used to visit a lot of studios like that. The dotcom boom was a wild ride.

I kept a Windows machine alive and kicking up until 5 years ago (Windows 7) and the last few years were all due to fear I would some day run into an issue I needed HomeSite to be able to fix. I lived in that app for so long, spent so much time tinkering with it to make it do things it shouldn’t be able to (or just creating my own macro buttons) and now I couldn’t tell you what I would need it for. To single right click and turn lines of text into an unordered list?

I will forever have a hate for ColdFusion and it is wild to me that people have kept it alive, but that probably matches my HomeSite superstition.

Also, the pooping reindeer brought back a flood of memories. What that says about me, well, let’s not.
