Welcome back to the show. I'm here with Mike Brunt sometimes known as the CF whisperer. And he has been doing cold fusion since version one. And he's an expert at tuning cold fusion web service. And he's done it for many large organizations around the world. And what you may not know about Mike, he's also a music composer, and a musician and a painter, and a permaculture. Gardner, I guess, the right phrases for
