Reimagine Memories at the Southwest Computer User Group Conference

We went down to San Diego on Friday, July 13th, and spent the rest of the weekend at the Southwest Computer User Group Conference (SWUGC) where we finally launched Reimagine Memories to the public. We attended the conferences and dinners with the attendees, and during these were able to meet some really passionate computer users. By far the most fun was the vendor faire where we had a booth fully-decked out in an Island theme featuring an inflatable palm tree, inflatable monkey, grass table skirt, beach balls, and surfing music to complete the theme. It was incredibly popular with the attendees and we saw the most foot traffic as our sweepstakes was a big draw for people to come all the way to the back of the convention center to visit our booth.

I personally gave about 20-30 complete demos of the site and pitched it at least 150 times to eager attendees who wanted to know what Reimagine Memories was about. We generated a lot of interest, got a few hugs, gave away a ton of stuff, and had the other vendors jealous of the attention we were receiving. By popular demand we gave away both the palm tree and monkey to attendees with the monkey being especially popular with the woman who one it. So much so she ran up, gave it a hug, and gave the monkey it's own sit at the table. It was moments like that, which made the weekend unforgettable despite all of the hard work that went into it.

Special thanks to Derek Palmer who is a honorary RM employee and a best friend of mine for coming down to San Diego and helping me out all weekend. Couldn't have done it without you.

We hope to be back next year,

Moving Our Datacenter In-House

Hi Everyone,

Reimagine Memories started life on our personal computers, specifically Dan's machine (Our CTO), where he hosted the site during our first months of development. As we entered the alpha stage of development I purchased an old E-Machine Computer from a friend for $100 that finally gave us a dedicated computer for our site. My great ISP, DSLExtreme, allows for sites to be hosted through their DSL connection, which is exactly what I did. I ran some wire to the back of a closet in my family room, and hooked up the E-Machine Computer, and then we began to offer hosting services to our first testing members (TBSUnion.com). A month or so after moving the server to my house my Vonage phone that runs through the same Internet connection began to stop working, and causal browsing had become slow and difficult due to how much traffic we were getting. I soon began looking for an outside service to host with, and that's when I was referred to a local place only minutes from my house. After visiting many data centers around the state I decided to choose SiteServer, and bought a new server to put into their data center.

Now after a nearly a year at SiteServer as Reimagine Memories has now finally opened to the public and is offering premium services we have made the decision to move the servers back into our offices. We have always had the back-up servers here, but want to move the primary servers here as well now that are able to get Business Cable from TimeWarner at an economical cost for a faster speed than we currently get at SiteServer. The transition will be happening during the month of August, and users should not be interrupted at all by the move as we are planning for a no downtime transition.

If you have any questions about the move just ask.

Thank you for your membership,

-Brad Jashinsky

ReimagineMemories.com Launch

After more than a year of on and off development, ReimagineMemories.com is finally at a point where we feel it is ready for public consumption. An unbelievable amount of work as been put into Reimagine Memories over the last year with constant funding meets, early acquisition talks, and corporate phone calls that made us realize that going it on our own with self-funding might not be such a bad thing. And that is where we are today; releasing the first version of ReimagineMemories.com with numerous features implemented and numerous others in the works both physically and mentally. It is my pleasure as CEO and as one of the co-founders of ReimagineMemories.com to welcome you to our corporate blog and to our site. So now you're asking what the heck is Reimagine Memories.
