Wow - we have nearly asked and answered 3000 questions!
Well done everyone!

Please reply if you read my blog

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

Just to let you know, we uploaded some bug fixes yesterday. We also changed the photo options.

We have changed the photo feature on Minti.
When you upload a photo now you can select from 3 options...

OK - I am nearly 100% again (recovering from pneumonia).
I feel like... "Welcome to the US, here is your strep throat, and also here is your pneumonia"
Loving it here.. but no more illnesses pleeeeaaassse.

By the way: Rach and Codi got strep throat also and they are nearly 100% also now :)

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.

• An Inconvenient Truth - website
• Where to buy the DVD from (just so you know, I make no commissions from this!)
• AIT blog.
• A website that is giving away free AIT DVDs. You can donate to that website to if you want.
• Al Gore is teaching 1000 others on how to do the same presentation. Great way to spread the word.
• Download computer desktop images, pdf flyers etc from here.

Wow - i just realised - Minti turned 1 a few days ago (8th March).

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.

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 ;)

Minti's activity list is now fixed. (It was showing results that were not up to date).

If you are still seeing errors to the activity list - let me know.

I am in New York for the 12th and 13th of March (ie: soon!).
Send me an email if you want to catch up.

just to let you know that visits are now displayed again on your Minti blog posts

... 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.

FYI - we are still yet to fix the "watch list" functionality.

I haven't done foto friday for so long that i decided to post one now.
i am either late or early... depending on how you want to view it.

He is Codi doing his daily ride around the Bay Area

We have been here for about a week and a half now and we are pretty settled in

bug fixes...

1. You can now see when a member was last online (on their member homepage - left hand bar)
2. when replying to an email, the original email is copied below your reply in the body of the email.
3. You can now clear your watch list.
4. top members featured on the Minti homepage are now random
5. stars for your advice is now showing on your member page, for your list of advice articles.
6. your activity list now shows what vote you recieved on your comments. See tracey's as an example.

Still LOTS more to come.
Hang in there, please be patient.

Am at the last day of ETel conference.
Come say hi - I am carrying the Minti bag.
