Adam Lehman is unwell, but getting better

By: Mark Drew, ColdFusion Developer

On Friday night, Adam had an accident and broke is arm and leg as he was hit by a car in Regent Street, London. I accompanied him to the hospital in the ambulance that night and got it all sorted. It was simply an accident and even though the driver was just under the alcohol limit, the police are not taking action (as far as I know).

He is currently in a hospital in London where he has already had surgery on his leg and will be having surgery on his arm (maybe) later today. Hopefully he will be out in a week or two.

The future of Reactor

By: Mark Drew, ColdFusion Developer

I am not sure many people would have heard this as we did a little bit of a "soft" announcement, but I shall be taking over the Reactor Project from Doug Hughes!

This is awesome, and I am glad some people had some faith in me, especially since I am not very vocal in the mailing list (I tended to bug Doug more than anyone else!)

Hopefully this will mean that Reactor gets more love and even, maybe, a few more new features in the future.
