Happy Birthday To Kinky Solutions - One Year Old

Posted April 13, 2007 at 7:52 AM by Ben Nadel

Well, you grows up and you grows up and you grows up. I can't believe it, this weekend, Kinky Solutions will be turning one year old. My little baby, she's growing up too fast. It has been a pretty wonderful year, though; lots of good stuff learned, lots of good stuff shared. I wnat to thank everyone who has left comments on my site - they have really helped me to fix my own mistakes and clear up my misunderstandings. I hope that some of you out there feel like I have contributed something back to the ColdFusion community.

My Google Analytics shows that the popularity of my site is steadily increasing:


 
 
 

 
   
 
 
 

Not sure how long that trend line will stay true, but I hope that I can keep adding content that will keep new people coming in and existing fans coming back. As always, if there is something I can add to the site to make it better, please let me know.

Here are some informal stats:

Blog Posts: 630
Comments: 2683
Lines of Code: A LOT!

I think this year has been a total success. There is a lot of stuff that I accomplished, but even more that I did not accomplish. I hope that in the upcoming year(s), I can finally get around to things like learning MVC or trying out FuseBox.

I am happy to be part of the growing ColdFusion community and I hope that you are happy to have me.

And now, for some testimonials from my loving fans:

Congrats on the one year and the steady increase of visitors. I have learned a lot from your blog and visit it very frequently. Keep up the good work and I hope it keeps the same trend as the first year.

Great Testimonials!

Congrats on your baby's birthday!

I was going to say "why are those lines blank? I thought you were gonna put some girls there!" about where your loving fans are... but then when I accidentally clicked the wrong link to leave a comment and then the back button, they all appeared!

Keep up the good work.

@CJ,

Thanks dude, glad you like what I do.

@Sam,

Sorry about that. Last night, they switched up servers on me (we got a secondary production server a few days ago). For some reason, my DNS didn't propagate yet. I uploaded the wrong FTP site and it worked, but then I just uploaded to the new FTP (which is why the images worked on the refresh for you).

@Javier,

Well hopefully I'm only getting started :)

@Thomas,

I know what you mean... my days just stream together. I have absolutely no sense of time, so it feels like much longer than a year to me.
