This is part of the Tucows Content division, Greg Weir, Matt Bleicher, myself and Bob Gibson, waiting for the doors to open at the Shareware Industry Awards that were held Saturday night, July 15th. Ironically, this was the awards 15th year. When it was started, there were only 13 voters. Now people from 85 countries, all 50 states and every
Hi everyone! I'm here in Denver, representing Tucows at the Shareware Industry Conference. I'll be here for a few more days, so I won't have time to update the blog, sorry.
