The past few years I heard good and bad things about the eComXpo and for the past couple of years I have been busy or on vacation, but this year I thought I would go ahead and sign up and see what its like.
There are really not that many sessions that interest me; but one of them is the GeekCast Live crew. I just find them entertaining and looking forward to seeing what they have to say. Other than that I just might spend most of my time in the exhibition hall.
The one thing that I don’t see is an updated list of exhibitors, they have a list from October 07 show, but that doesn’t help. I would like to plan out a little before the show of who I want to visit. Hopefully they will have a list soon.
So have you signed up or have you gone in the past? What are you opinions? I know it’s not going to replace the face to face networking, but what the heck.
If you haven’t heard about the eComXpo, take a look around and if you’re attending look me up, I will be there, well virtually.
The next Seattle Area Affiliate Marketers Meet-up is scheduled for July 12th at 2:00 at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore at University Village.
We had a great turn out for the first ever meet up and I would love to see another great turn out.
So if you’re in the Seattle Area come and join us. It’s free and you will learn some great tips and meet with some great folks.
If you want to join us, sign-up over at Meet-up or to find out more information.
Hope to see you there.
It’s been a little busy around the house lately, first the kids just got out of school at the end of last week and one of the big things we did is bought all new office furniture for the office this weekend.
Getting new furniture is a great thing. But removing the old furniture and setting everything back up is a pain, but rewarding in the end.
Since we replaced everything in the office, it took some time to get it all put back together and getting back to work. Still have a few things to do here and there.
We have ordered new carpet and should be here in a couple weeks and we are working with a fish store to work on a new fish tank set-up. Yes that is what is in front of the desks; it was a 250 gallon saltwater fish tank till it leaked.
Here are a couple of shots of the new set-up:
I donated a prize of a Creative Vado Video Camera over at Trisha Lyn’s blog and she has picked a winner…
It’s Jeremy Botter! So Congratulations to Jeremy.
Your Creative Vado camera will be arriving soon. Make sure you send me your first video!
After upgrading to vBulletin 3.7.1 almost within 15 minutes I had 3 new sign-ups, all from
.cn21.com names. So I could tell they were going to be spammers, so I banned them and their ip addresses.
I thought that would be the end of it. Well almost an 1 hour later I got 6 more sign-ups, I thought WTF! How are they getting by the Recaptcha? I went into my AdminCP and double checked everything and it looked alright.
So I headed over to vBulletin support forums and found out that I am not the only who has had problems. So I felt a little better that I wasn’t the only experiencing the problem. So reading over there I found a new modification that people were recommending, so that is what I am using and since I installed it, not one spambot.
For the past year or so I have be using the NoSpam! modification and hardly had any spammers at all. Unfortunately no one has ported it over to 3.7 yet. So hopefully everything will get fixed in the next patch or better yet, I might just stick with the new modification.
