Running a Google Group? Don't leave it open to spamming

Do you run a Google Group (or belong to one) that's suffering spam? Here's how to stop it. I belong to (and also run) many Google groups, which can offer a great solution for a hosted mailing list. Sadly, if the group owners aren't careful, the list can soonbecome a haven for spam.

Well, there are several ways you can watch them, as this entry will discuss, and it may be interesting to discover what's going on. Of course, ORM support is just a different way that the CFML engine (through the ORM framework) sends SQL to a database via a regular DSN, just like any other request, so there's nothing (translate)

cf.Objective() 2010 call for speakers, ends Nov 30

It's funny, no sooner had I posted my entry yesterday about CFUnited's call for speakers, then I started seeing the tweets about cf.Objective() 2010 also having its call for speakers. Had I noticed sooner, I would have covered them both at once. Oh well. A big difference is cf.Objective()'s is ending November 30. Check out Sean Corfield's post for more information on the cf.Objective() call. (translate)
