Wishes Do Come True!!! Thanks Ben Nadel!

Trying to make GotCFM.com something useful to the ColdFusion community has been a bit of an effort. While the site looks very simple, there's a lot of things going on behind the scenes from testing URLs to contacting submitters who are trying to game the site.

So following the lead of other bloggers that I've seen, I put up my Amazon Wishlist in the hopes that someone might find my efforts of value and get me something from my wishlist. I wasn't expecting anything but if it happened, it would be really cool.

Well, today I get a package from Amazon which was a bit of a surprise. When I opened it up, one of the books from wishlist was there!!!! I had added PPK on JavaScript to the list and now I had it in my hands!!!

When I looked at the receipt, whom do I find as the sender? Noneother than my good friend Ben Nadel and a little note that said: "Rey, Kick ass on GotCFM.com :) I think it's really a great thing".

Ben man, you made my day and I really appreciate it. Thanks for valuing my efforts bud! :)

Cutter's Gravatar Great choice on Ben's part. I've known Peter Paul for years. He used to be extremely active on the (former) LaTech Javascript list, when I started on it in 2000, and he is definitely one of the 'authorities' on Javascript programming and DOM manipulation. Quirksmode.org has been an outstanding resource for client side web developers for years. You'll really enjoy his book.
