Hi All,

Hope you all can help out
I have started a project to spread the Minti love within the Minti community.
See here (be sure to read all the comments too).

Cheers
Clay

I just noticed a bug that has also been recently fixed.
On some member's profile pages when you clicked one of their images... you would get a strange microsoft open/error popup window. What was meant to happen was a popup window opens with the full size image.

It is all fixed now

If you want to test it, feel free to go to my member page and click on any of the images to the right of my profile.

i just purchased a license of MozyPro.com to back up my computer automatically to their servers while i am asleep each night... and its only going to cost me something like $4/mth - this is awesome.

NOTE: I have NO affiliation with this company. Just thought everyone should hear about them.

2 members recently decided to spam our member base, and guess what happened... the Minti community prevailed by reporting them and then the higher ranked members voted them off the island

Sorry to all members who received the spam. If you receive any emails like it in future, just report the member as soon as you can!

AdTech was ok - met a few interesting people.
I was amazed how many companies are selling essentially the same thing, but they were so poor at expressing what it is they are selling. Half could have said "we are an ad network", and the other half could have said "we are an affiliate network".

Anyway - it's back to my inbox and my day job

In the past couple of weeks we have fixed more bugs.

Here are just a couple below that were recently fixed...

* VibEngine™, Bug, Article

When a user tries to send an article to a friend they receive an error.

RESOLUTION: fixed up so advice can be emailed

 

* Minti, Bug, Me and My Family

A few people have mentioned this one… when editing “Me and My Family”, and you type “,” it displays like “,,,,,,,,,”. See http://www.minti.com/groups/38321/Bugs-Site-Functionality-Issues/blog/342299/

RESOLUTION: Fixed up, stopped newlines from being removed as well

I am currently at adtech with rach.
if you are also here and want to catch up - send me an email clay @ claycook . net

Codi loves cars, so when we saw an old police car being displayed after the easter egg hunt (which we missed), Codi just had to go check it out ;)

I am so addicted to twitter now. Its very useful for silicon valley networking especially.
My twitter is twitter.com/claycook

BuildingInLondon.com "soft launched" a couple weeks ago using our vibEngine technology.
Check it out and let me know what you think.

Contact me directly or send me an email.
Rachel and I are currently at the Web 2.0 Expo for the next few days.

I just saw on a web page a feature where images of real people walk onto the screen and start explaining the website to you.

I think it is pretty cool and could be quite useful.

Please check out this page and let me know your experience and whether you liked it or not.

I cant believe it!
This year was the first year ever we forgot to buy easter eggs.
We have just moved into a new rental house in the US and we were so busy with it all that we forgot easter!!!!

Here is an amazing email from a new Minti member.

Note (1): I requested permission to reproduce this.
Note (2): The member did end up taking a day off!!

Dear Clay & Rachel & Matt,

Firstly I just want to say WOW and WOW again .You guys have put together a fantastic absoultely unbelieveable site. I accidently fell across it by chance via the google search engine, when I was looking up a different topic. Anyway how glad and happy am I that I found Minti. I have raved about it to my friends( one whom lives and breaths the internet and chat rooms) and to my work aquaitances.

Iam thrilled that my verifyed email came through. I have 5 people already inquireing to see if I will be their friends,(I accepted them all how could I not from what I have seen so far all the Minti people are honest true people, and in this fast speed work more earn more society its nice to see people whom have great values.

I will post my history and "about me info soon"  I do not get much time on the laptop until the week-ends as I am at work from sunrise to very late at night.  Anyway I might even take a day off this week  just so I can get my Minti home page updated. 

I am allowed to say "Thanks for the website tour Molly". Molly is great that intro realy brings people in and she deserves a round of applause and a medal for a job well done.

I would like to say a little bit about myself and my very beautiful and sexy husband but I think I will save it for my intro page. Well thanks for the email and the warm welcome and I am looking fwd to chatting and meeting people from all over the place via Minti.

GO Minti GO Minti.

Cheers

I believe its a great advantage to have views from other countries

NOTE (2): Market United built this tech in house.

Recently a few people have been worried about their Minti rank and votes they are receiving on their comments.
Please "don't sweat the small stuff". Minti is about being friendly and helpful.... just enjoy your time here and if someone is bothering you, just ignore it.

We are pretty much all back on our feet again.
Codi is a happy as anything, Rach is doing great and I am 85% there. Well enough to get back on the computer and do some serious work hours!
