To continue on with an idea that Will Strohl gave me with his end of the year blog entry. I thought I would take some time and do the same here. A bit of a "year in review" if you will of the things that I think have been notable accomplishments in 2008 as well as a few thank you's along the way.

The other day I was reading Antonio Chagoury's blog and came across one of his recent postings "Just In Case You're Not Keeping Tabs" ahd it got me thinking. I just got done filling out a few forms where I needed to list my community involvement, and much like Antonio I had a hard time sitting down and really coming up with the list of everything that I do on a volunteer basis. So I though I'd do something similar to what Antonio did and post my list here. I know I'm missing items, so if you know of something I'm leaving out, let me know!

I am working with the new team on the DotNetNuke Documents module project to actually create end-user and administrator user guides for that project. This has lead me to think about the free modules and items that are provided by IowaComputerGurus. Each of these is lacking documentation, and to be honest I just don't have the time to keep the modules going and to keep the documentation up.
Therefore I thought I would reach out to the community to see if there was anyone willing to donate some time to write documentation for my free modules. Since these modules generate no money, and actually cost me money, at this time it would need to be a volunteer effort. However, in exchange for services we will ensure that full credit is given for the creation of the documentation.
If you are at all interested in volunteering to help improve the free modules that we offer, please feel free to e-mail me at msellers@iowacomputergurus.com

Over the past few weeks since I announced that my company, IowaComputerGurus Inc. was going to be an exhibitor at OpenForce ’08 this November I have been asked a few questions by the community. I feel that the answers to these questions are items that should be aired publicly; therefore I am posting this information here for all to see. The two questions that have been coming up quite a bit recently are; Why are you sharing a booth with Seablick Consulting, and How do you choose your business partners. I will start by addressing the second question, and returning to answer the first.

I just thought I would make a quick note up here regarding "Shea Class Action Settlement" checks that many individuals have been receiving in the mail over the past few days.
After completeing some research regarding this settlement check I have determined that they are legitimate checks. The money is being distribuited as part of a settlement in the case of Shea et. al. Vs. Household Bank. The class action lawsuit was related to finance charges and late payment and over limit fees charged by Household. If you are a current household card holder I have been informed that you will just notice a credit on your account, if you have closed your account you will receive a "postcard check" in the mail.
These postcard checks are legitimate and indicate that they are being drawn on a bank account from US Bank!
Here is a link to another blog that is tracking the amounts people are getting back. So far it appears to be anything from $0.02 - $9.00 depending on the individual!
