It is Spring Cleaning time

It is time for a spring clean of the CFDeveloper user base to clear out any unused accounts and domains and make space for new ones as the server is starting to creak.

At the end of this month I will be deleting all users hosting accounts who have not logged into their account within the last 60 days.
If you wish to keep your account then all you need to do is simply login to the HELM control panel before the end of the month.
Just to remind you, you login here http://helm.cfdeveloper.co.uk/

Please also be sure to check your email address settings as I am still getting hundreds of bounced emails from users when I send out newsletters, so many of you are clearly not getting these announcements. Therefore I am also going to start deleting users with invalid email addresses seeing as they obviously cannot be contacted. Remember you have a primary and secondary email address in HELM, please make sure they are both correct, if you do not have a secondary email address, simply leave it blank.

I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting the next CFDevCon ColdFusion conference, well you will be happy to hear the new 2008 web site is now live as of yesterday and registrations are now open.

The survey results in 2006 were quite clear, most delegates wanted a better venue, a better conference hotel, better food, more tracks, more days and more bells and whistles and were happy to pay more for the tickets, so as this is a community driven event by developers for developers, that is what we have done, and we think we have still managed to keep the price quite reasonable too. For those that find CFUnited too expensive and too commercial, this is the event for you.

This year is a 2 day event with multiple tracks and an array of well known speakers presenting on popular topics. We have also opted for the seaside town of Brighton as the location this year, which is only 45 minutes direct from London Victoria on the train, so not only do you get to attend a great conference, but you can also then have a nice weekend break by the sea if you so wish. Much better than being stuck in rip-off London we think, with its outlandish prices, crowded/smelly streets and tube stations, unreliable public transport, and having to rush to catch the last tube back to your hotel every night.

So what are you waiting for, mosey on over to www.cfdevcon.com and register already.
