Art, Technology & People

How do you people that live here tolerate this heat?! Good grief… Well, the Disney vacation is winding down and I am exhausted. We basically leave the hotel at 8:30 AM and we're not back until 10PM. It's ridiculously hot outside, everything I brought is soaked and sweaty and I think I've lost like 10lbs of water. Disney and Seaworld were cool, but it's so hard to enjoy anything when you're trying not to melt in the blast furnace you face the second you walk out the door. In fact, I can not friggin imagine what it's like in August when it's high season (There's TONS more people in July and August because school is out for summer). So while I'm glad we came, I can't wait to get back home.

And yes I know the tutorial approvals have slowed to a grinding halt, sorry about that. To be honest I had planned to approve tutorials during the evenings, but we're been coming back so late and so exhausted that I literally shower and go straight to bed. I just approved a few this morning while I ate breakfast but things will go back to normal next week. Basically I fly back in to Montreal on the 8th, then we go to Albany, New York, on the 10th and we're back the 11th with our new puppy that is a complete surprise for my daughter.

Other than that, all is well and development on v5 is going well and Nick seems to be having a good time with it. He's currently working on the Publishing System and it's looking completely awesome.

So that's it gang can't wait to be back! Bye for now.

Just received a brochure in the mail with all this info so passing this onto members this will interest.

Hey guys… I was just checking out the latest free magazines in the P2L Tradepub magazine shop (This is where you can subscribe to free magazines and downloads for filling out tiny surveys to qualify) and I noticed they had a pretty cool offer for gamers, but it's restricted to residents of the USA only. I know it sucks, that means I can't even get it!

But, if you're in the US and you're a gamer, there's a new offer to get the magazine "Electronic Gaming Monthly" for FREE for one year! If you're interested, click here and fill out the small survey and your shipping info, and if you qualify you get the free magazines.

Aside from that, Nick is working very hard on the v5 coding and Jamie has started work on his SEO tweaks, as you can tell by the recent friendly URLs the forum is now using. I'm basically hoping for a July release (No, I don't know if it will be beginning or end of July, I'll be impressed with either one) so we'll see what happens. If you have any suggestions, please be sure to post them… we've actually received some AWESOME suggestions recently in the support thread that we will be implementing in the new version.

So that's it guys, be good and enjoy the free mags 😉

Oh and by the way, for you international folks, you can get a full list of mags you can qualify for by clicking here… it's basically a list of magazine offers available to US and International users. And remember, they are all free!

Goodnight!
Dan
