Great video. I hadn’t seen this before. I’m interested to know what kind of business you’re starting.
Hi Don, it’s a Web 2.0 site built on DNN which allows users in NZ or Australia to list tasks which people can bid on. Launch should be in about 1 month – http://www.tooeasy.com.au We also provide business and software solutions based on the DNN platform – http://www.evolveglobal.com this is just firing up now.
By the way i like what your doing with Metapost, keep up the good work. I think your decision to enable developers to build their own provider was smart. I found i switched to Metapost myself for paging support although have had some problems loading certain articles on Ventrian. When i get a minute i will create a post on your forum.
Cheers
