Feasibility of machine aggregation of Boulder free events, and complexities inherent in such an effort.<\/li>\n<li>An understanding of how slippery the concept of &#8220;The Semantic Web&#8221; is.<\/li>\n<li>An excellent post about <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.duncandavidson.com\/2006\/06\/cautious_advice.html\">handling credit card transactions<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>To clean up user generated content, and avoid XSS attacks, use UBB or some other markup language.  Another option is to validate any user generated content against an <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/XHTML_Mobile_Profile\">XHTML Mobile DTD<\/a>, which should screen out any nastiness.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cacert.org\/\">CA-Cert<\/a>, a way to generate SSL certificates for free, that is slightly better than self signed certs.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/msdn2.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/aa480189.aspx\">CardSpace<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mooreds.com\/wordpress\/\">OpenID<\/a>,and the differences and benefits of using each.<\/li>\n<li>A post about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.identityblog.com\/?page_id=352\">Laws of Identity<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colourlovers.com\/\">ColourLovers<\/a>, for all you palette hounds out there.<\/li>\n<li>A fascinating discussion of the amount of data running through Digital Globe&#8217;s systems.<\/li>\n<li>An overview of CMSes worth looking at: <a href=\"http:\/\/typo3.com\/\">Typo3<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/textpattern.com\/\">TextPattern<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/radiantcms.org\/\">Radiant<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A discussion of how open communities work (and don&#8217;t), including Wikipedia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It was a fascinating day.
