I’m curious if anyone has had a chance to drop IE 6? I’d love to get away from it for the redesign of this site, but unfortunately that browser still accounts for 15% of hits here. While the thought of making a statement and redirecting to a “Download Firefox!” page when it’s hit in IE 6 is appealing, I can’t help but think that would be taking the easy way out. For public sites with huge amounts of hits out in the wild it might not be an option of course. For anyone who has gone the >IE6 route, what was your main motivation for doing so, or if you haven’t why not?

In case you hadn’t heard, Feedburner was acquired by Google. Feedburner rates as one of my favorite services I use, and a free one at that. They take all the bandwidth to run things too, so your site gets hit by less feed readers by the thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands a day. The knowledge required to make it work is also next to nothing. If you have a blog, they’re one service I’d recommend checking out.

What will this mean for users like me? Well that’s a ways off, but we can start speculating can’t we? One of the most valueable aspects of Feedburner is the in depth analysis they provide, and also the ads able to be placed on higher read blogs. Stats and ads? Sounds like Adsense and Analytics. Can’t wait to see how these are incorporated into the ever growing entity that is Google.

Matt Woodward recently attended a talk on The Future of ColdFusion up in the DC area where a number of ColdFusion evangelists spoke about what’s in store for the language. Matt put together a detailed ColdFusion 8 overview which contains references to just about all publically available information all in one place. On another note, I found a great overview of ColdFusion on the ColdFusion Digg RSS feed.
