Aarrgghh!!

Which ColdFusion Personality Would You Host?

Dan, Ryan, and I were discussing this year's Macromedia Max (or whatever Adobe will call it) while drinking, one thing led to another and the following question was posed:

Which ColdFusion personality would you to invite to sleep on your guest bed?

First, of course we thought Ben Forta. I think that would be like hosting the Dali Lama. You'd be nervous, you'd say things like "I can't let Ben Forta see my PHP books."

We moved on to Damon Cooper, who at first glance would be fun. But I get the feeling that he's like your college friend who comes and makes drinking look so fun. So it's fun, but you have like a 5 day hangover after he leaves.

So I think my vote would be for Tim Buntel. He seems like he would be fun but not a giant enabler. He wouldn't criticize your book collection. And he would probably make the bed before he left.

Anyone out there have any opinions other than "Geeks like you should not drink."

ColdFusion, Random, Web Development,



Comments

And I thought being at Macworld was geeky.

Oh this will be a fun one...

I think my vote would go to Tim as well - based on his MAX and CFUNITED keynotes...

My vote goes for Tim as well. Saying that, after his last visit to Scotland, I don't think his liver could take it :)

I think Ben because he might make the least amount of mess to clean up! Hey, got to be practical!

Damon. 'Cause we could stay up all night talking about event gateways. And no, I'm not drinking at 7:00 AM....

Tom Jordahl, though I wouldn't let him sleep until I had seen the ColdFusion MX 7 and Flex2 integration piece he's working on.

Viktor Schauberger.

I bet Viktor Schauberger would be a really cagey houseguest. I mean, after the Nazis caused him to have a nervous breakdown, I bet he became a lot less fun to be around...

Cool- fun question. I'm going with Tim Buntel- even with his voice gone, he's still one of the most entertaining personalities you'll ever meet (if you caught his MXDU 2005 keynote session, you'll know EXACTLY what I'm talking about).

(honestly, it's a very tight push for #2 between Nimer and Ben- both are a ton of fun to hang with as well...)

Aarrgghh Guy! So looks like Tim Buntel is the leader by a head. Although there's a slight push for Ben Forta and Mike Nimer.

Why narrow it down to just one? How about a ColdFusion sleep-over!

Aarrgghh Guy! I think that even for me, a "ColdFusion sleep-over" crosses some sort of limit for geekiness.

Unless of course we could make 'smores. In which case, game on.
