If I gave you the DVD would you watch it and give it to a friend?

by ClayCookComment Published at 11:2411:245 comments5 comments53 Visits53 VisitsReport
I am thinking of buying a copy of An Inconvenient Truth, and giving it to a Minti member... to watch, and then pass on to another Minti member to watch and pass on to another Minti member, etc etc etc...
  • Who wants to be th first?
  • Will you pass it on to another Minti member after you have watched it?
  • When you pass it on would you make them to do the same when they are finished watching it?
Reply in the comments here.

NOTE: If I do get any interest I will set up a Minti group to manage the whole requesting and sending process

Watched - An Inconvenient Truth

by ClayCookComment Published at 12:4212:422 comments2 comments84 Visits84 VisitsReport
Have you watched this yet??? It should be compulsory viewing.



Rachel and I just finished watching "An Inconvenient Truth" (AIT for short) by Al Gore.

It is an AMAZING documentary and EXTREMELY CONCERNING. Sounds like we all need to change right now, I am worried for our generation and our children.

I recommend everyone watches it ASAP!


I went to their website and am stunned that they haven't made it free to download... i plan to leave a comment on their blog and email them direct. (We got our copy via NetFlicks)

Here are some links that you may want to check out.

Minti: question from a member

by ClayCookComment Published at 12:2612:260 comments0 comments25 Visits25 VisitsReport
A member just asked me 2 questions that I think its worth repeating the answers here as well...

QUESTION: On the read advice page where have the "sort by" options gone like "most popular", "needing votes" etc...?
ANSWER: They are still on the read advice page. You just need to scroll down a little.

QUESTION: The admin functions on reported advice, where have they gone?
ANSWER: This is a bug we are still working on. They will be fixed.

Minti: Add Minti to Internet Explorer search!!

by ClayCookComment Published at 23:2223:225 comments5 comments73 Visits73 VisitsReport
I just worked out how to add Minti search to the latest Internet Explorer search area.

Image immediately below is what it looks like...


Here is what happens...


So how do you do it???
  1. Download the latest version of IE first.
  2. Go to this page.
  3. On the right hand side of that page it has a "create your own" section.
  4. Type in "http://www.minti.com/search/?query=TEST&item_type=advice" in the first input field.
  5. Type in "Minti" in the second field.
  6. CLICK THE "view XML" link
  7. Press "back".
  8. Then press "Install" button.
GOOD LUCK ;)

TechUncut: not everyday you get a new computer

by ClayCookComment Published at 16:0316:030 comments0 comments21 Visits21 VisitsReport


... and when you do you should get excited by them.

I certainly am. Rach and I just got new laptops to carry around when we are at conferences, in coffee shops, meetings etc (here I am justifying it).

Anyway - they are just sooo small and portable. They are Vaio TXN25N series.
