yeah thanks Jeff, nice to hear from a fellow cyclist on this forum too! I'm sure there's probably a lot more of us lurking silently in google-land..
hey, https://www.voo.st/, nice website, and great to see Facebook integration in action, that's pretty high on my list, along with a nice shiny-backing tracked video like yours ;) yes, so far it's proving a good market, I've been running a bike shop in France for 6 years and 10 years programming before that, so a good mix of my skills. I am most definitely open for business in North America, and worldwide in fact. I was out in Florida a few months ago talking to some bike shops and funnily enough corresponding with shops in Utah before that! If anyone wants to be my North America agent?! (guess I shouldn't say stuff like that on this forum) Thanks for the link about CloudFare, sounds good, I will investigate, definitely not a big fan of appspot URL. many thanks, Doug On Wednesday, March 28, 2012 4:42:12 PM UTC+2, Jeff Schnitzer wrote: > > On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 2:38 AM, doright <doug.stodd...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > www.bikeshopmanager.com > > Cool!
