I had to put everything on hold while I worked on a new schoolspring feature. Integrating xml and sql data sources into one sortable and useful query object has been quite a challenge. Six days and 80 hours later I've just about completed it. I mention it here because it's one way that coldfusion has out shined every other programming language I've worked with. I'm not sure how I could accomplish the same in php with such a short development schedule.

Kudos to coldfusion and it's query of queries feature. It's not perfect, but it has allowed me to produce some spectacularly creative and useful code this week. I hope other web development platforms include such a powerful feature soon.
