The Google Calendar is private by default so you have a completely different problem. I never had problems with people at my office being able to view my work calendar but I feel for you since you are using Lotus Notes.
Python does? Hm, I never realized that.. I always verified my input anyways. I completely agree that PHP needs to change a lot of things, such as getting rid of depricated functions, but I still like the language for performing many web applications. I actually thought ASP had more problems with SQL injection than PHP, as I said before though I could be wrong.
Also, it doesn't surprise me that Perl has protection for this.
I agree that the mysql_real_escape_string() is a pathetic function name; however, I am curious what language automatically checks your users input for any attempt at SQL Injection. I would also like to know how this impacts input when you expect to receive a quote, single quote, backslash, or semi-colon. This may simply be a lack of knowledge on my part so I am really asking.. please don't read it as sarcasm.
How can it be that hard for web developers to check data before it is submitted? I wouldn't imagine trusting the data that an anonymous user can enter into my website.. so maybe I'm just trained to check data. Of course, I'm also glad I use MySQL with PHP where a simple mysql_real_escape_string can prevent any popular SQL Injection attempt.
I use a php based web cal available on sourceforge. It's great for managing a simple cal but I'm not sure how advanced you want it to get. It's worth a look though: http://webcalendar.sourceforge.net/.
I'm not surprised to hear this coming from DigtlDug since he is now working for Microsoft according to his blog.
Seriously, just because you work for a company does not mean that you have to be blind to the security issues that do and may exist in a particular product.
Has anyone noticed that if you type interesting things in such as "Miserable Failure, Washington DC" It pulls up President Bush and several other humerous results?

Google Plans To Destroy Unindexed Information Sorry, couldn't help it. Besides, it's from Zonk.

I use OWL intranet for our repository. I don't believe it supports LDAP yet though. Still, worth a look. http://owl.sourceforge.net

Mac OS Live DVD? That would be interesting; however, I think that may just be a dream.
