The Magnolia Hotel is my favorite in Denver. It easily has more age, flair, and character than the other chain hotels I've stayed in. The elevators don't always run so fast, but they handle it with humor-- a plaque in each of them reads "Our elevators are old, sometimes slow, occasionally fast, and often creaky."

Oh, and the staff hold the doors open for you when you enter or leave. You won't find that behavior at the Residence Inn.

I've just gotten approval to go to RIA Unleashed: Boston on November 13th, and if you haven't made up your mind on whether or not to go, I'd suggest you make up your mind to attend. Brian's previous Flex Camp conferences showed off some amazing implementations and hosted some impressive speakers, and this year looks to have an even better agenda for web developers with a track devoted exclusively to ColdFusion developers. The list of speakers include Tim Buntel, Adam Lehman, Jason Delmore, and Ray Camden. I can't wait for this conference.

So make sure you come, too. And by the way, feel free to use my name as the person who referred you. ;)

For those CF developers in the Boston area, please join us at our next CFUG meeting entitled "ColdFusion Application Security: The Next Step", where Jason Dean, the ColdFusion blogosphere's resident security expert, will be presenting to us via Connect. Jason's blog can be found at http://www.12robots.com/.

Jason says: "We've all parameterized our SQL queries to prevent SQL injection attacks, right? So what's next? Are our applications safe now? No, they are not. SQL injection is only the tip of the vulnerability iceberg. There are many other security topics that need to be addressed in our applications. Threats and vulnerabilities are everywhere, and it is likely that your applications contain some of them. In this presentation we will discuss what threatens web applications and how to create countermeasures to address these vulnerabilities."
