Re: [CODE4LIB] web spam block less awful than Captcha?

Here's a method that's by no means foolproof but is practically zero cost (you may be using a version already). Disclaimer -- I have not actually tested this to any extent: Include a text input field in your form that needs to be blank for the form to validate in the back end. Keep the field

Re: [CODE4LIB] web spam block less awful than Captcha?

Exactly. The thing is that the incremental cost to the spambot operator for hitting any form is essentially zero. It's the same model as traditional spam: hit everything, and hope that a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent produce a return. It's easier and cheaper to program the

Re: [CODE4LIB] Pandering for votes for code4lib sessions

I have mixed feelings on the idea of requiring a minimum weight in the voting process. Vote pandering is definitely a real issue, but I think imposing strictures on the voting process goes a little bit against something fundamental about Code4Lib's anarcho-democratic underpinnings. I think one of t

"jrock"... I like it! I think Mr. Rochkind has a new nickname. And a new imperative: better get the band together for Seattle, Jonathan! Is it too late to dedicate a presentation slot to a performance? (Whoa, actually, seriously, a Code4Lib talent show would be AWESOME.) On Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at

I won't speak on behalf of the organizers, but my recollection is that signups for lightning talks on a given day are typically opened the day before. I think there was some kerfuffle related to this last year (I seem to recall it opening early and causing some confusion). But I suppose this is som

[CODE4LIB] Quick library visit at lunch?

Hey all, I have a crazy notion to visit the Seattle Public Library during today's lunch break. Looks like there's a taco place across the street from the library at 4th and Madison -- maybe if it's quick and not too busy we can squeeze in a quick lunch and have 30 minutes to look around the librar
