08.08.08!

8 is not just a simple number for us, actually. You can see it in our logo; it has something to do with the "Next Big Thing" and finally... it's my favorite number (I just consider it lucky :-) )

So, we couldn't just let the day 08.08.08 simply come and go. We have little thing for you.

Today we're giving out unlimited number of full (paid) licenses of the Next Big Thing. It's not available yet, but it surely will be available soon. I am pretty certain that most (if not all) of our readers would want a license.


All you have to do is to leave 1 (just one) comment for this post. Just a few words about yourself - a small introduction, if you will AND a few words about how you've spent or going to spend the day 08.08.08.

Every commenter will receive a single full license of NBT once it is available.

UPDATE: Looks like we have a good lot of comments, and the 8 day is over, but hey, let's run it up to 888 comments!

Hi,

i'm orion, and i'm a webdesigner and developpers in php. all i'll have to do in this day is to ask my ex girlfriend (that i love so much) to come again with we, so if you consider that "8" is a lucky number for you, hope that it will be lucky for me, and hope that i will marry her on 10.10.10 !

Seems like an opportunity!

My name is Greg. I'm a Consultant by trade and contract for the federal government. I've started another business in internet retail and am using a free niche social network as a marketing tactic among all the other SEO and paid ads. This is where Dolphin comes in. So far so good. I need to get better at the viral marketing thing though!

What I'm going to do today is entertain my visiting mother, sister and nephew at our local zoo. I'll also help my daughter with her love; hunter/jumper equitation.

Hello,

I am Haythem. I study engineering.
I currently live in tunisia.

I dont know if you already know that, but, in all cases, i cant be buying any licence, cause in Tunisia, we can not send money out to other countries ( there is no way, only Offshore entreprises, and Travel Agencies have right to VISA or Mastercard ) (however we can receive money with western union lol)

So i do thank you for this, it is good news, gives me hope.

This is cool :)

My name is James and I'm a programmer and designer. I write tutorials about Dolphin.

The symbolic meaning of 8 in some cultures means a new beginning as it comes after the number 7 which in itself means completeness. So I think it's fitting that you've called it the Next Big Thing.

I am James or Jim to my friends. I live with my lovely partner Donna. I am a wannabe webmaster, and have been trying to build and design sites for around a year now, still not very good at it yet but it keeps me occupied as I don't get out much due to a disability.

Today I am going to be spending my time sitting here at my computer attempting to complete my dolphin website and make it go live. I will also be writing some more of a book I have been working on for the past three months.

Hello, my name is Phil and I'm a software engineer for a large government contractor. I'm currently running Dolphin for a pinball enthusiasts group (www.pinballhaven.com) and I would definitely be interested in the NBT.

Thanks very much for all your hard work on Dolphin and for this opportunity with NBT.

Hi there,

I'm using your product(s) for a year now and I was quite happy at first :-) Later on, with 6.x (changes&bugs) not so much (happiness), but I'm still around... so, you can still count me in as a customer :-)

I'm heading shortly for some shopping :-) Tomorrow we're expecting some friends over (no, we're not celebrating your 3x8, just maybe 8+ years since I met them last time :-)

Last note: please make sure what you release is tested so that your support team can really do support and not just forward bug fixing request :-)

You might be a small team, but I'm still trusting you with my site(s)

Good Luck!

Hello world!

I am using dolphin, ray, etc to create a "platform" for everyone to practice, gather and express "being the change" in communities across the world.

The site is still in "beta" but already, a lot has happened. Today, we will upload a whole bunch of pictures of an outpouring of art and insight from a community in Ohio. Check it out at ChangeExpo.com

08/08/08 is a big day for this "movement" as well because today is the first time we're announcing this site. And it is right here at the Boonex community. Come, join the movement!

Wow. Ok, my name is Tony, I am a system administrator in "real life" but I am an outdoor adventurer in my soul. I will spend the early part of today in development of my Dolphin site and also remotely working for my "real job", then I will spend about 4 hours training for a grueling mountain bike race that I want to enter next year!
